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.

A pandemia de COVID-19 acentuou as desigualdades em muitas dimensões das sociedades europeias, nomeadamente nas desigualdades entre homens e mulheres em vários domínios fundamentais. Este relatório analisa as desigualdades de género que existiam antes da crise provocada pela COVID-19 e descreve de que forma a pandemia afetou as clivagens de género. Analisa igualmente as várias respostas políticas dos governos nacionais em toda a UE para combater as clivagens entre homens e mulheres e evitar o seu aumento durante a pandemia.
Lower levels of health, increasing financial pressure and a significant degree of unmet healthcare: these are the findings of the fifth round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey: Living in a new era of uncertainty – a report that presents an overview of responses from over 200,000 people across all five rounds of the e-survey, which took place from spring 2020 to spring 2022.
In this data story, we use the e-survey data to take a closer look at the impact of the pandemic on mental health.
The platform economy is one of those moving targets, which, despite receiving increasing media and policy attention, has proven difficult to regulate. Given the heterogeneity of employment relationships, business models, types of platform work and cross-border issues, this is not surprising. Yet, in recent years, an increasing number of initiatives and court rulings across EU Member States have sought to address the employment rights and working conditions of platform workers.

Muitos bancos do setor têm sido objeto de uma profunda reestruturação desde a crise financeira mundial, sendo este um dos poucos setores de serviços com estagnação ou declínio do emprego.
