This report analyses and compares the content of 94 collective agreements in three low-paid sectors – manufacture of food, leather, textiles and clothes; residential and social care; and retail – across 11 EU Member States and Norway.

Foundational challenges: The housing struggles of Europe’s youth

Europe faces a housing affordability crisis that impacts all age groups, with particularly pronounced implications for young people. For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being. This report examines the housing situation of the EU population, with a specific focus on young people. It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.

Beyond the twin transitions: Measuring EU Member States’ multidimensional performance with composite indicators

This research report presents a holistic, multidimensional framework for measuring the economic and social performance of EU Member States, including in terms of their EU’s green and digital twin transitions, through composite indicators. Extending the established Landesmann and Székely model, this study incorporates six key dimensions – economic, social, institutional, environmental, digital, and social cohesion and trust – into the model to capture the complex, interdependent dynamics of socioecological progress.

Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This report presents an in-depth compilation of evidence and analysis on how the EU’s principle of equal pay for the same work and work of equal value can be implemented in practice, with a particular focus on work of equal value – thus, pay equity. According to this principle, when two jobs can be regarded as equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibilities and working conditions, they should be remunerated equally. But how can such equivalence be established?

Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Ports sector – 2025

This study regarding the ports sector provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the organisations involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for this sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of Eurofound’s studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the sector.

Incentivise, not restrict: Climate policy views in the Living and Working in Europe e-survey

As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality, the Just Transition Mechanism seeks to ensure this process is fair. But are people on board? The e-survey findings show that several other factors beyond environmental concern are at play here, especially when policies directly affect people’s everyday lives.

Är Europas psykiska hälsa fortfarande i kris?

Den psykiska hälsan i Europa står vid ett avgörande vägskäl. Även om vissa indikatorer har förbättrats sedan pandemin visar en ny rapport från Eurofound på oroväckande tendenser, bland annat ett oroväckande stopp för den decennier långa minskningen av självmordstalen. I det här avsnittet av Eurofound Talks talar Mary McCaughey med forskningschefen Hans Dubois om denna komplexa fråga och betonar att psykisk ohälsa i oproportionerligt hög grad drabbar utsatta grupper.

Bostäder

Tillgången till överkomliga och lämpliga bostäder är ett stort problem i många medlemsstater, i deras städer och regioner, och förvärras av de senaste årens kriser. Människor som har problem med att ha råd med en bostad riskerar att bli utestängda, osäkra på att behöva lämna sitt hem, att inte ha råd med andra saker på grund av höga boendekostnader och att tvingas bo kvar i bostäder som inte är lämpliga för deras behov. Med stigande levnadskostnader kommer risken för energifattigdom för låginkomstfamiljer som inte har råd att hålla sina hem tillräckligt varma eller betala hyra eller amorteringar. Samtidigt ökar hemlösheten i en stor majoritet av medlemsstaterna.
