Overview report
Publication metadata
Work plays a pivotal role in people's lives, in the functioning of companies and in society at large, Improving the quality of work and working conditions has long been at the forefront of EU policy, most recently in the Europe 2020 Strategy towards 'Smart, inclusive and cohesive growth'. The fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) explores topics as diverse as physical risks, working time, gender segregation, work-life balance, employee representation, work organisation, stress at work, skills development and pay, as well as health and well-being. The survey charts trends in working... conditions, identifies major risk factors and highlights issues meriting policy attention. Based on interviews with 44,000 workers across 34 European countries, the fifth EWCS represents a rich store of information and analysis on work in all its dimensions in Europe today.
