Život a práca v Európe

Výskum nadácie Eurofound zachytáva mnohé rozmery života a práce v Európe. Výročná ročenka poskytuje prehľad o práci a živote Európanov, ktoré sa skúmali v rámci výskumných činností agentúry v priebehu predchádzajúceho roka. Slúži na informovanie o politickej diskusii na úrovni EÚ a na vnútroštátnej úrovni. Ako agentúra EÚ, ktorej víziou je "byť hlavným zdrojom poznatkov v Európe pre lepší život a prácu", sa výskum v roku 2024 zaoberal niektorými z najpálčivejších problémov, ktoré ovplyvňujú ľudí a podniky v celej EÚ – vrátane nedostatku pracovnej sily a zručností, prístupu k práci na diaľku, krízy bývania, rastúcich životných nákladov, nedostatku dôvery a sociálnej ochrany. Naďalej podáva správy o širších štrukturálnych výzvach, ktoré ovplyvňujú EÚ.

Living and working in Europe 2024
Ciara Burbridge

Living and working in Europe 2024 provides a snapshot of Eurofound’s key research findings on the changing nature of work and life across the EU. Labour and skills shortages continued to dominate policy debates, as structural issues linked to demographic shifts, poor job quality and the demands of the green and digital transitions intensified recruitment challenges. The report examines how the cost-of-living crisis has persisted – despite easing inflation – and continues to affect households across income levels. It also explores the ongoing housing crisis, which is delaying key life transitions for young people and contributing to growing social inequality. Meanwhile, access to social protection remains uneven, particularly for unemployed and self-employed workers. Eurofound’s latest survey data also reveal a decline in remote work opportunities, despite worker preferences for hybrid arrangements. The report also highlights declining trust in institutions, closely linked to financial insecurity. Taken together, the findings capture the challenges and opportunities of this period of profound transition, reinforcing the importance of inclusive, evidence-based policymaking to support a fair and sustainable Europe.

Europe’s year of resilience and resolve

Europe Day is a celebration of unity, solidarity and harmony. While we may not have had much to celebrate this past year, one thing we can be proud of is how Europe has come together in the face of large-scale challenges and threats, showing that solidarity is the key to resilience and resolve.

Living, working and COVID-19 in the European Union and 10 EU neighbouring countries

The Living, working and COVID-19 survey, first launched by Eurofound in early 2020, aims to capture the wide-ranging impact of the pandemic on the work and lives of EU citizens. The fifth round of the Eurofound survey, which was implemented in spring 2022, also sheds light on a new uncertain reality caused by the war in Ukraine, record-high inflation and sharp rises in the cost of living. As a pilot survey, a shorter version of the questionnaire was fielded by the European Training Foundation (ETF) in 10 European Union (EU) neighbouring countries. This joint Eurofound-ETF factsheet presents a selection of results from the survey covering both the EU-27 and the 10 selected EU neighbouring countries.
The results reveal at least one clear commonality across respondents from all countries: serious concerns about the rising cost of living. At the same time, the results point to a large divergence in living and working conditions between respondents in the two groups of countries, but also show large differences within the EU itself and amongst the selected EU neighbouring countries.
