Scientific Description
Since its launch in 1990 the European Working Conditions Survey has provided an overview of working conditions in Europe in order to: Assess and quantify working conditions of both employees and the self employed across Europe on a harmonised basis; Analyse relationships between different aspects of working conditions; Identify groups at risk and issues of concern as well as of progress; Monitor trends by providing homogeneous indicators on these issues; Contribute to European policy development.The scope of the survey questionnaire has widened substantially since the first edition, aiming to provide a comprehensive picture of the everyday reality of men and women at work. Gender mainstreaming has been an important concern in recent reviews of the questionnaire.Themes covered today include employment status, working time duration and organisation, work organisation, learning and training, physical and psychosocial risk factors, health and safety, work-life balance, worker participation, earnings and financial security, as well as work and health.
