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.

Acest raport analizează rolul dialogului social și al negocierii colective în abordarea provocărilor cu care s-a confruntat sectorul aviației civile în timpul pandemiei de COVID-19. Implicarea partenerilor sociali în măsurile introduse pentru a atenua impactul negativ al pandemiei variază de la o țară europeană la alta. Dialogul social și negocierea colectivă au jucat un rol important în cele mai multe țări, în timp ce în altele au avut un rol mai limitat. Raportul analizează și schimbările intervenite în procesele de dialog social și/sau de negociere colectivă existente la nivel național.

Elementul său central este modulul 3 al proiectului, care analizează salariile minime și alte forme de remunerare pentru lucrătorii independenți.
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.

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.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence, are rapidly evolving, and becoming increasingly powerful and pervasive. While the implications of digital technologies on ethics and working conditions should be explored as they emerge, it is also important to anticipate any unintended effects that raise new ethical challenges.
