Living, working and COVID-19 / Eurofound

Eurofound, European foundation for improvement of quality of living and working conditions, based in Dublin, Ireland prepared a new report which presents the results of the e- survey on the COVID-19 on living and working of citizens and in the EU. The survey was realised with the intention to provide insights of the impact of COVID-19 on life and work across Europe and to grasp possible economic and social consequences. 87, 477 respondents participated in the survey across the EU. Two rounds of the e- survey were carried out: the first one in April, when the majority of EU Member States were in lockdown, and the second one in July, when society and economies slowly started to re- open. Therefore, it is the unique survey that enables a trend perspective of the situation during the crisis. In the mentioned short-term period, there was a slight improvement in Europe regarding the working hours and job security, but also very adverse cumulative social and economic impact of the pandemic on citizens’ lives that weakens social cohesion in Europe. The survey provides an accurately informative picture of the deep adverse implications of COVID-19 on the living and working conditions of people across the EU27. The cumulative social and economic impacts of COVID-19 have been disturbing for people across Europe, most notably for women and young people. However, consequences of this crisis could be lessened by ambitious, targeted and cooperative policies that take into the account adequate economic and health priorities, which should be the basis for recovery and Europe’s future economic and social development.
