EWCS 2015: Research reports
05 November 2018
Survey

​Eurofound’s European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) paints a wide-ranging picture of Europe at work across countries, occupations, sectors and age groups. Its findings highlight actions for policy actors to help them address the challenges facing Europe today. In 2015, Eurofound carried out its sixth survey in the series (in operation since 1991). This sixth survey interviewed nearly 44,000 workers in 35 countries. Its findings provide detailed information on a broad range of issues, including exposure to physical and psychosocial risks, work organisation, work–life balance, and health and well-being.

Following the publication of the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey – Overview report in November 2016, a number of reports on specific themes and drawing on the EWCS data were commissionned and published in 2017 and 2018.

To achieve sustainable, inclusive and smart growth, Europe needs competitive companies that offer decent jobs to workers. To perform at their best, companies need motivated workers with the right skills to do their job, and willing to use those skills to the best of their ability. To have sustainable, productive and fulfilling careers, workers need a stimulating work environment that recognises their input and facilitates their development.

EWCS 2015 – Coding
07 November 2016
Survey

The sixth EWCS includes a limited number of open questions to record respondent’s occupation and the sector of economic activity of the organisation they work for.

  • Occupations were coded at the 4-digit level according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) for occupations ISCO 08 and ISCO 88.
  • Sectors were coded at the 3-digit according to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community – NACE rev 1.1 and NACE 2.0.

Coding in both versions of the occupations and activity nomenclature facilitates comparisons with previous surveys in the EWCS series.

Information on the level of education or training attained by the respondent is also available in the EWCS. Country­-specific questions regarding education allowed for automatic coding in order to obtain the internationally comparable categories in the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) at 1- digit level.
