Neenakosti
Zmanjševanje neenakosti za državljane EU in spodbujanje navzgor usmerjene konvergence življenjskih razmer sta visoko na političnem dnevnem redu Evropske komisije. Dejavniki neenakosti lahko vključujejo spol, starost, invalidnost, zaposlitveni status in državljanstvo, kar vpliva na plačo in dohodek, dostop do socialnih, zdravstvenih in izobraževalnih storitev.

Neenakomerna slika spreminjajoče se Evrope: Ugotovitve iz e-raziskave Življenje in delo v EU 2025
Ugotovitve iz osmega kroga Eurofoundove e-raziskave Življenje in delo v EU iz leta 2025 kažejo na vztrajne gospodarske pritiske in neenakomerno stopnjo odpornosti med državami članicami. Kljub nižji inflaciji in trgam dela, ki ostajajo razmeroma stabilni glede na glavne kazalnike, se anketiranci še vedno soočajo z velikim finančnim pritiskom, z večjimi razlikami med dohodkovnimi skupinami, naraščajočo negotovostjo med najemniki in srednjeletnimi osebami ter nadaljevanjem negotovosti glede stanovanj, zlasti med gospodinjstvi z nizkimi dohodki in enostarševskimi gospodinjstvi.Ali je duševno zdravje Evrope še vedno v krizi?
Duševno zdravje v Evropi je na kritičnem razpotju. Čeprav so se nekateri kazalniki od pandemije izboljšali, novo poročilo Eurofounda razkriva zaskrbljujoče trende, vključno z zaskrbljujočo zaustavitvijo desetletja trajajočega zmanjševanja števila samomorov. V tej epizodi Eurofoundovih pogovorov se Mary McCaughey pogovarja z višjim vodjo raziskav Hansom Duboisom o tem zapletenem vprašanju in poudarja, da slabo duševno zdravje nesorazmerno prizadene ranljive skupine.A picture of wealth inequality across EU Member States
Wealth inequality across EU Member States has important implications for access to education, healthcare and housing, as well as for people’s ability to actively participate in society.
This article summarises some of the main findings from the recently published report Unequal wealth: Exploring socioeconomic disparities across the EU. It maps wealth inequalities across EU Member States by drawing on data from the European Central Bank’s Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), covering the period between 2010 and 2021.
Neenakosti so se v nekaterih državah v zadnjih desetletjih povečale zaradi dejavnikov, kot so globalizacija, tehnološke spremembe, davčna politika in gospodarska kriza. Te neenakosti ovirajo gospodarsko rast in lahko vodijo v socialne konflikte, zmanjšujejo udeležbo v družbi in povečujejo socialno izključenost.
Cilj evropskega stebra socialnih pravic iz leta 2017 je odpraviti neenakosti na ključnih področjih in s tem okrepiti evropski socialni model. Ključne razsežnosti stebra so enake možnosti in dostop do trga dela, pravični delovni pogoji, ustrezna socialna zaščita in socialna vključenost.
To je izbor najpomembnejših ugotovitev v zvezi s to temo.

Economic and social inequalities in Europe in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic had varying impacts on social groups, depending on existing disadvantages, and it was widely believed that it triggered a rise in inequalities across different areas of life. Using indicators from the EU’s Multidimensional Inequality Monitoring Framework (MIMF), this report shows how inequality in the spheres of income, health, employment and education changed between 2010 and 2020. It also examines the main drivers of this change during the pandemic and explores the relationships between government policies in several domains and inequality.

Monitoring convergence in the European Union: Looking backwards to move forward – Upward convergence through crises
Upward convergence lies at the heart of the EU project. Member States and their citizens sign up to be part of the Union, as they expect their membership will lead to balanced economic prosperity and social progress across countries. Increasing disparities between Member States, as happened during the 2008–2013 economic crisis, could be seen as a betrayal of the EU’s promise, and potentially lay the seeds for discontent and disintegration. This flagship report is the culmination of Eurofound’s research into monitoring convergence in the EU, which was initiated in 2017. It describes the shifting dynamics of upward convergence over the period 2008–2019, explores the short-term impact of COVID-19 on European economies and societies, together with its implications for convergence, and discusses the long-term effects of the pandemic and the future of upward economic and social convergence in Europe.

Living, working and COVID-19 (Update April 2021): Mental health and trust decline across EU as pandemic enters another year
The third round of Eurofound's e-survey, fielded in February and March 2021, sheds light on the social and economic situation of people across Europe following nearly a full year of living with COVID-19 restrictions. This report analyses the main findings and tracks ongoing developments and trends across the 27 EU Member States since the survey was first launched in April 2020. It pinpoints issues that have surfaced over the course of the pandemic, such as increased job insecurity due to the threat of job loss, decline in mental well-being levels, erosion of recent gains in gender equality, fall in trust levels vis-à-vis institutions, deterioration of work–life balance and growth of vaccine hesitancy. The results of the survey highlight the need for a holistic approach to support all the groups hit hard by the crisis in order to prevent them from falling further behind.

Wealth distribution and social mobility
This report explores the distribution of household wealth in the EU Member States and analyses the role of wealth in social mobility. Using data from three datasets (the Household Finance and Consumption Survey, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe and the Luxembourg Wealth Study), it focuses on wealth per household member. Wealth composition is compared across social groups and countries, and the role of housing assets in wealth distribution and negative wealth is assessed. The findings show that parental background, including parental wealth, has an impact on educational and wealth mobility. In order to promote equality of opportunities in terms of access to education and housing, the impact of wealth inequalities, including differences in parental wealth, should be counterbalanced. The report also suggests that regularising wealth declaration in the EU could be a way of promoting social justice by minimising hidden wealth and combating tax evasion.

A more equal Europe? Convergence and the European Pillar of Social Rights
The European Pillar of Social Rights is designed to act as a compass for a renewed process of upward convergence among Member States towards better working and living conditions. It is accompanied by a Social Scoreboard to monitor the progress made by Member States. This policy brief presents the results of an investigation into the upward convergence patterns of the headline indicators of the Social Scoreboard and the relationship between convergence and the business cycle from 2008 to 2018. The results show that although the economic crisis that engulfed Europe from 2008 slowed down the convergence of Member States on some indicators, upward convergence on several has been restored, including the indicators on employment and risk of poverty. While the analysis uncovers different dynamics of upward convergence for most indicators, some very stable and some more unstable, few indicators still show a downward trend over the decade.
