This report provides a comparative analysis of job quality covering approximately 1.2 billion of the world’s workers in the EU28, China, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, the United States (US), Spanish-speaking Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama), Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. It is the result of a pioneering project for the collection and analysis of data on working conditions around the world by the International Labour Office, the secretariat of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and Eurofound, both tripartite agencies that aim to improve working conditions and the well-being of workers. 2019.05.06 Working conditions in a global perspectives – ILO EuroFound

Burnout is a topic that has triggered widespread interest among the general public and the media, with articles on the subject being published on a regular basis. While some articles have sought to question the existence of burnout, others have discussed its different stages, factors and warning signs, as well as investigating the actions and measures employers and employees can take to address the issue. In addition to the attention it has received from the media, burnout has been the subject of research and policy responses across Europe. With a view to gaining an EU-wide perspective on the issue, Eurofound asked its Network of Correspondents in the 28 EU Member States of the European Union and Norway to identify the most relevant national research and policy debates on burnout – what is its incidence? Is it a disease or a syndrome? What are its work-related determinants? – and compare how the issue has been addressed by the social partners and in public policy in each country. 2018.09 Burnout in the workplace, A review of data and policy responses in the EU - Eurofound

The aim of this study was to undertake a more detailed analysis of the data from the Second European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER-2) concerning the management of health and safety in European Union (EU) workplaces. It was commissioned by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) to build on the earlier findings of analyses of ESENER-1 and ESENER-2 with a view to: 1) identifying measures that might foster higher levels of commitment to occupational health and safety (OHS) among establishments; 2) identifying types of enterprises that are more likely to have low commitment and on which support should be focused; 3)  helping policy-makers to make the best use of limited resources in the prevention of health and safety risks. 2018.02.15 Management of occupational health and safety in European workplaces ESENER_2 – EU-OSHA

Since 1991, Eurofound has been monitoring working conditions in Europe through its European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). The survey aims to measure working conditions across European countries, analyse the relationships between different aspects of these, identify groups at risk, highlight issues of concern and areas of progress and, ultimately, contribute to developing EU policy aimed at improving job quality. In 2015, the sixth EWCS interviewed almost 44,000 workers (both employees and self-employed people) in 35 European countries: the 28 EU Member States, the five EU candidate countries, and Norway and Switzerland. Workers were asked a range of questions concerning employment status, work organisation, learning and training, working time duration and organisation, physical and psychosocial risk factors, health and safety, work–life balance, worker participation, earnings and financial security, as well as work and health. 2017 Update 6th European Working Conditions Survey – Eurofound
