Foundational challenges: The housing struggles of Europe’s youth

Europe faces a housing affordability crisis that impacts all age groups, with particularly pronounced implications for young people. For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being. This report examines the housing situation of the EU population, with a specific focus on young people. It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.

Beyond the twin transitions: Measuring EU Member States’ multidimensional performance with composite indicators

This research report presents a holistic, multidimensional framework for measuring the economic and social performance of EU Member States, including in terms of their EU’s green and digital twin transitions, through composite indicators. Extending the established Landesmann and Székely model, this study incorporates six key dimensions – economic, social, institutional, environmental, digital, and social cohesion and trust – into the model to capture the complex, interdependent dynamics of socioecological progress.

Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This report presents an in-depth compilation of evidence and analysis on how the EU’s principle of equal pay for the same work and work of equal value can be implemented in practice, with a particular focus on work of equal value – thus, pay equity. According to this principle, when two jobs can be regarded as equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibilities and working conditions, they should be remunerated equally. But how can such equivalence be established?

Incentivise, not restrict: Climate policy views in the Living and Working in Europe e-survey

As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality, the Just Transition Mechanism seeks to ensure this process is fair. But are people on board? The e-survey findings show that several other factors beyond environmental concern are at play here, especially when policies directly affect people’s everyday lives.

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on what was a momentous year for Eurofound as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. This year was not only about honouring our history, but also about rejuvenation; we produced pivotal new research and facilitated important dialogue on the emerging challenges facing citizens across Europe. 2026 will be a year of new plans, goals and priorities, but for the moment, we wish all staff and friends of Eurofound a restful festive season and a Happy New Year!

A saúde mental da Europa ainda está em crise?

A saúde mental na Europa encontra-se numa encruzilhada crítica. Embora alguns indicadores tenham melhorado desde a pandemia, um novo relatório da Eurofound revela tendências preocupantes, incluindo uma interrupção alarmante do declínio de décadas nas taxas de suicídio. Neste episódio das Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey fala com o gestor sénior de investigação Hans Dubois sobre esta questão complexa, salientando que a saúde mental precária está a afetar desproporcionadamente os grupos vulneráveis.

Habitação

O acesso a habitação adequada e a preços acessíveis é uma grande preocupação em muitos Estados-Membros, nas suas cidades e regiões, agravada pelas crises dos últimos anos. As pessoas que enfrentam problemas de acessibilidade habitacional correm o risco de exclusão, insegurança por terem que sair de casa, não poderem pagar outras coisas devido aos altos custos de moradia e terem que permanecer em moradias inadequadas para suas necessidades. Com o aumento do custo de vida, vem a exposição à pobreza energética para famílias de baixa renda que não podem manter suas casas adequadamente aquecidas ou pagar aluguel ou hipoteca. Ao mesmo tempo, o número de sem-abrigo está a aumentar na grande maioria dos Estados-Membros.
