European Working Conditions Telephone Survey 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and work. With the lifting of restrictions across the globe, we are now able to examine the many repercussions on the world of work. In particular, the unique demands of the last few years have shone a harsh spotlight on the pressures brought to bear on different jobs and on certain work environments and the stresses associated with different forms of work. The pandemic has made us reassess so many aspects of our working lives. But has it changed the way we think about job quality – its role in ensuring a good working life and, indeed, a good life in general? The European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS), a representative survey of Europe’s workers conducted by Eurofound in 2021, provides some answers.

Prísne obmedzenia v oblasti verejného zdravia zavedené vládami v roku 2020 na kontrolu pandémie ochorenia COVID-19 náhle zmenili pracovný život a naďalej ho formovali počas dvoch nasledujúcich rokov. V období od marca do novembra 2021 sa uskutočnilo viac ako 70 000 rozhovorov v 36 krajinách prostredníctvom európskeho telefonického prieskumu pracovných podmienok (EWCTS), ktorý je vysokokvalitným prieskumom založeným na pravdepodobnosti. Cieľom bolo poskytnúť podrobný obraz o pracovnom živote Európanov v tomto výnimočnom období.
