Restricțiile stricte în materie de sănătate publică puse în aplicare de guverne în 2020 pentru a controla pandemia de COVID-19 au schimbat brusc viața profesională și au continuat să o modeleze în cei doi ani care au urmat. În perioada martie-noiembrie 2021, s-au realizat peste 70 000 de interviuri în 36 de țări prin Sondajul european telefonic privind condițiile de muncă (European Working Conditions Telephone Survey – EWCTS), un sondaj de înaltă calitate bazat pe probabilități, pentru a oferi o imagine detaliată a vieții profesionale a europenilor în această perioadă excepțională.
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.
Raportul analizează modul în care a evoluat încrederea cetățenilor în instituții – inclusiv în guvernele naționale, UE, știință și mass-media – în timpul pandemiei de COVID-19, respectiv în 2020 și 2021. Este analizat rolul mass-mediei, în special relația dintre utilizarea mijloacelor de comunicare socială și încredere și impactul informării greșite (informații incorecte sau care induc în eroare) și al dezinformării (informații deliberat înșelătoare) în timpul perioadei de criză.
Calitatea instituțiilor este un factor-cheie în realizarea convergenței economice și sociale ascendente în UE, jucând un rol fundamental în creșterea economiei, atragerea investițiilor străine, asigurarea punerii în aplicare a politicilor și reformelor și accesarea cu succes a fondurilor UE. Adecvarea instituțiilor publice la scopul urmărit este deosebit de relevantă în prezent în ceea ce privește aplicarea programului NextGenerationEU, deoarece calitatea instituțională slabă poate împiedica accesul la fonduri și submina eficacitatea programului în sine.
The EU Presidency of Czechia organised a high-level conference in October 2022 on ‘Tackling energy poverty: EU approach & sharing best practices’. The event aimed to bring different actors together in order to strengthen the dialogue on possible solutions on how to further tackle energy poverty in the EU. This background paper, prepared at the request of the Czech Presidency, aims to contribute to the debate.
This working paper investigates the practical implementation of the European Works Council (EWC) Directive at company level. It explores the challenges faced by existing EWCs and provides examples of solutions identified and remaining issues from the point of view of both workers and management. In addition, the paper looks at how EWCs meet the requirements of the EWC Directive in terms of establishing processes of information and consultation.
Piețele de muncă europene au avut o redresare dinamică după pandemia de COVID-19. La sfârșitul anului 2021, după puțin mai mult de 18 luni de la începutul pandemiei, ratele de ocupare în UE erau aproape la nivelurile de dinaintea crizei. Raportul de față sintetizează evoluțiile de pe piața muncii din 2020 și 2021, utilizând date trimestriale din ancheta UE asupra forței de muncă. În acest sens, raportul abordează un punct de vedere structural, cu accent pe datele la nivel de sector și la nivel de ocupație, și ține cont de variabilele demografice esențiale: genul și vârsta.

Pandemia de COVID-19 a accentuat inegalitățile în multe dimensiuni ale societăților europene, inclusiv inegalitățile dintre femei și bărbați în mai multe domenii-cheie. Raportul de față analizează inegalitățile de gen care existau înainte de criza COVID-19 și descrie cum a afectat pandemia disparitățile de gen. Raportul analizează și diferitele răspunsuri politice ale guvernelor naționale din întreaga UE pentru a aborda disparitățile de gen și a preveni extinderea lor în timpul pandemiei.
