About the debate
The first findings from Eurofound’s pan-European Working Conditions Survey 2024, published at the beginning of September 2025, showed significant improvements in job quality over the past decade but also highlighted stark inequalities between women and men, as well as radically different situations for workers in different parts of Europe.
Based on interviews with over 36,000 workers across 35 countries, the flagship survey points to positive shifts in areas like working hours and skill development, but not everyone is benefitting equally. For example, women face deteriorating standards in areas such social environment and work intensity, and gender gaps persist in job security and career prospects.
In addition, the workforce is grappling with new and persistent health challenges and divergent approaches to the technological change reshaping workplaces across the EU.
In this webinar, Mary McCaughey, Head of Information and Communication, spoke with Barbara Gerstenberger, Head of Unit for Working Life, about how working conditions are changing in Europe post-pandemic, who is gaining the most and who potentially is losing out, and whether workers are benefitting from the rapid technological change seen over the past decade.
This is a unique opportunity for you to ask questions about the survey and engage with our experts. The event has been livestreamed exclusively on the Livestorm platform, but you can watch the full recording below.
