O inquérito A vida, o trabalho e a COVID-19, lançado pela primeira vez pela Eurofound em 2020, procura registar o impacto amplo da pandemia no trabalho e nas vidas dos cidadãos da UE. A quinta ronda do inquérito da Eurofound, que foi implementada na primavera de 2022, traz também à luz uma realidade incerta nova causada pela guerra na Ucrânia, inflação com valores recorde e aumentos acentuados no custo de vida. Como inquérito-piloto, foi utilizada uma versão mais curta do questionário pela Fundação Europeia para a Formação (ETF) em 10 países vizinhos da União Europeia (UE).
Eurofound’s European Restructuring Monitor database reveals the impact of the energy crisis on employment in the EU. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, energy prices have hit record highs. The European Commission imposed sanctions and limitations on the import of oil and gas from Russia, which has reacted by reneging on supply commitments to many Member States. Compared to other countries, market disruption has been especially acute in the EU, given the bloc’s overdependence on Russian energy supply.

As rigorosas restrições de saúde pública aplicadas pelos governos em 2020 para controlar a pandemia de COVID-19 alteraram abruptamente a vida profissional e continuaram a moldá-la ao longo dos dois anos que se seguiram. Entre março e novembro de 2021, foram realizadas mais de 70 000 entrevistas em 36 países pelo Inquérito Europeu sobre as Condições de Trabalho (IECT) por telefone, um inquérito de alta qualidade baseado na probabilidade. O objetivo era fornecer uma imagem pormenorizada da vida profissional dos europeus nesse período excecional.

O relatório analisa a forma como a confiança dos cidadãos nas instituições – incluindo os governos nacionais, a UE, as instituições científicas e os meios de comunicação social – evoluiu durante a pandemia da COVID-19 em 2020 e 2021. O papel dos meios de comunicação social é analisado, em especial a relação entre a utilização das redes sociais e a confiança e o impacto da má informação (informação incorreta ou enganosa) e da desinformação (informação deliberadamente enganosa) durante o período de crise.
A qualidade das instituições é um fator essencial para alcançar uma convergência económica e social ascendente na UE, desempenhando um papel fundamental no crescimento da economia, atraindo investimento estrangeiro, assegurando a execução de políticas e reformas e acedendo com êxito aos fundos da UE. A adequação às necessidades das instituições públicas é atualmente particularmente relevante no contexto da execução do programa NextGenerationEU, uma vez que a má qualidade institucional pode impedir o acesso aos fundos e comprometer a eficácia do próprio programa.
