Este relatório apresenta as investigações do Eurofound sobre o teletrabalho durante a pandemia da COVID-19 em 2020 e 2021. Explora as alterações na incidência do teletrabalho, as condições laborais de quem trabalhava a partir de casa e as alterações regulamentares relativas a questões relacionadas com este regime de trabalho. Os resultados revelam um aumento significativo do teletrabalho provocado pela pandemia: em 2021, 2 em cada 10 trabalhadores europeus estavam em teletrabalho – um número que provavelmente não teria sido alcançado antes de 2027 caso a pandemia não tivesse ocorrido.
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.
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the electricity sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements.
O presente relatório analisa o papel do diálogo social e da negociação coletiva na resposta aos desafios que o setor da aviação civil enfrentou durante a pandemia de COVID-19. O envolvimento dos parceiros sociais nas medidas introduzidas para atenuar os impactos negativos da pandemia varia entre países europeus. O diálogo social e a negociação coletiva desempenharam um papel de destaque na maioria dos países, ao passo que noutros tiveram um papel mais limitado.
Este relatório analisa o papel do diálogo social e da negociação coletiva na abordagem dos desafios criados ou exacerbados pela pandemia de COVID-19 no setor hospitalar. Também explora se o diálogo social e os processos de negociação coletiva existentes a nível nacional foram adaptados a fim de enfrentar estes novos desafios. A investigação incluiu uma revisão bibliográfica para contextualizar as características estruturais do setor hospitalar e uma análise das iniciativas políticas para gerir a crise implementadas em toda a UE27 e na Noruega.
O presente relatório é elaborado no contexto do projeto-piloto de três anos (2021-2023) intitulado «Papel do salário mínimo na criação da Garantia Universal do Trabalho», mandatado pela Comissão Europeia à Eurofound. Centra-se no módulo 3 do projeto, analisado a questão dos salários mínimos e outras formas de remuneração dos trabalhadores por conta própria.
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.
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the Food and drink sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of Eurofound’s studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in the EU Member States.
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.

This publication series explores scenarios for the future of manufacturing. The employment implications (number of jobs by sector, occupation, wage profile, and task content) under various possible scenarios are examined. The scenarios focus on various possible developments in global trade and energy policies and technological progress and run to 2030.
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an extraordinary level of provision of social services across the EU. Healthcare and care providers carried much of the burden and, together with essential services, played a crucial role in getting citizens through the crisis. This report explores how public services adapted to the new reality and what role was played by the digital transformation of services. The aim is to contribute to the documentation and analysis of changes in funding, delivery and use of healthcare and social services during the pandemic.
Are the policies required to meet the commitments outlined under the EU’s plan for a green transition, the Fit-for-55 package, and the associated budgetary commitments – the Green New Deal – likely to lead to positive or negative employment outcomes by 2030? What types of jobs will be created or destroyed? Will shifts in employment be skewed towards the bottom, middle or top of the job–wage distribution? This report aims to provide answers to these questions, using macro-modelled estimates of the likely impacts of these policies on the structure of employment.
This report explores the potential socio-economic implications of the transition to a climate-neutral economy on different EU regions and groups of people. It adopts a foresight approach to envision potential actions that can be taken to shape the future. After consulting with stakeholders and experts, three scenarios were developed to consider emerging economic and social inequalities at EU and regional level. The report includes policy pointers which outline measures to be taken to achieve a just transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy where no one is left behind.
This report explores how environmental performance has converged – or diverged – among the EU Member States since the early 2000s. With environmental goals piling up at the EU level, is it reasonable to expect Member States to adhere to this emerging EU environmental aquis? And, just as importantly, can we expect Member States to reach these goals at the same time? This report attempts to provide answers to these and other questions high on the political agenda.
This report investigates the potential individual and societal impacts of labour market insecurity, focusing on workers with non-permanent contracts, part-time and self-employed workers, and workers who perceive their job as insecure. It explores the impact of labour market insecurities on health and well-being, social exclusion, trust in people and the perception of fairness, as well as trust in institutions. Policies aimed at reducing labour market instability following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented.
This report – published every two years – covers important developments resulting from legislative reforms in collective bargaining at national or sectoral level in 2021 and 2022. It examines the average weekly working hours set by collective agreements, both across national economies and in five sectors: education, health, transport, retail and public administration.
This policy brief provides facts and figures on the working life and job quality of so-called ‘essential workers’ and is based on data from the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS) extraordinary edition 2021. It will define various subgroups of essential workers, describe the challenges they face and outline the type of responses provided, or being developed, to address those challenges.
This policy brief aims to contribute to the effective monitoring and evaluation of the European Child Guarantee. Progress at EU level is measured by a monitoring framework which monitors the key areas of the European Child Guarantee: early childhood education and care; education, including school-based activities and at least one healthy meal each school day; healthcare; healthy nutrition; and adequate housing. The policy brief explores trends and disparities in these areas using a convergence analysis, which tracks any disparities among EU Member States.
This report highlights the prevalence of psychosocial risks across countries, sectors and occupations during the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the specific working conditions that can lead to work-related health problems. In particular, the report investigates the potential pitfalls related to the expansion of telework, the role of job and income insecurity as a psychosocial risk and the phenomenon of adverse social behaviour and discrimination at work. In addition, it offers policy pointers on tackling the increase in work absenteeism due to mental health problems.
The urban-rural divide in EU countries has grown in recent years, and the depopulation of certain rural areas in favour of cities is a challenge when it comes to promoting economic development and maintaining social cohesion and convergence. Using data from Eurofound and Eurostat, this report will investigate the trends and drivers of the urban-rural divide, in various dimensions: economic and employment opportunities, access to services, living conditions and quality of life.
