Zaposlovanje in delovni pogoji najbolj ranljivih delavcev

V zadnjih dveh desetletjih so evropski trgi dela doživeli pomembno preobrazbo, z izrazitim porastom nestandardnih oblik zaposlovanja, kot sta delo s krajšim delovnim časom in začasno delo. V tej epizodi Eurofound Talks se Mary McCaughey pogovarja s strokovnjakom za Eurofound, Karelom Fricom, da bi raziskala zaposlitvene in delovne pogoje najbolj ranljivih delavcev.

Evropa se mora prilagoditi starajoči se delovni sili

Ker se rodnost na celini zmanjšuje in prebivalstvo stara, se oblikovalci politik soočajo z nujno nalogo, da obdržijo izkušene delavce in prilagodijo delovna mesta potrebam starejše demografske skupine.

Epizoda podkasta

Kako se lahko Evropa prilagodi starajoči se delovni sili?

Kako se lahko Evropa prilagodi starajoči se delovni sili? S katerimi ovirami se starejši delavci srečujejo na delovnem mestu? Kako spreminjajoče se tehnologije in kakovost delovnih mest vplivajo na ohranitev starejših delavcev na trgu dela? Namen tega dogodka je odgovoriti na ta vprašanja v okviru demografskih sprememb v Evropi in potrebe po bolj trajnostnem delu.

Growth of minimum wages accelerates across Europe

The growth in average (nominal) pay of employees has accelerated in recent years in EU countries after a slump following the economic crisis. Similar developments show up in data on collectively agreed wages. However, higher wage growth figures do not automatically mean that all employees benefit equally.

Europe must take action to protect LGBT people in the workplace

This article, originally posted in Social Europe, is based on a comprehensive overview of surveys on the working life experiences of LGBT people in the EU. 17 May is International day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face distinct disadvantages in the labour market ranging from discrimination in recruitment, wages or promotions to harassment and bullying in the workplace.
