European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) European wide survey – 5 waves already: 1991, 1995, 2000 (+01/02), 2005 and questionnaire / translated in all the languages  2010: 25 languages and 16 variants Country coverage: EU + neighbour countries  5 th EWCS (2010): 34 countries covered : EU27 + NO + ACC3 + IPA3  interviews in total (1000/4000 interview per country) Workers survey: employees and self-employed (15+) (LFS def)  face to face interviews Covers many different aspects of the conditions of work and employment of European workers (more than 100 questions)  Demographics, structure of workforce, job characteristics, household info (incl work at home)  Working time : duration, organisation  Physical and psychosocial work factors  Nature of work / place of work / work organisation  Job content and training  Work-life balance  Information and consultation  Outcomes : health, job satisfaction  Earnings Gender mainstreaming : central in reflection on questionnaire

Change over the last 20 years Globalisation Structure of employment  More in services, less in industry  A wide variety of employment contracts (& blurring division between self-employed and employees) A more diverse workforce  More women on the labour market _-> but gender segregation remains  Ageing workforce (National) policies aiming at modernising working life aimed at social progress and /or developing competitiveness

Working time working time duration  Working time is decreasing on average From 40.5 hrs/week in 1991 (EC12) to 37.5 hrs/week in EU27 (2010) - On average men work 7 hrs more than women in paid empl - However: paid + unpaid work: women work more  Time segregation (next to occupational/sectoral/pay segreg) - Women work more shorter hours -Men work more longer hours -But women do bulk of household work Working time organisation Working time preferences

Psychosocial risks Complex phenomenon:  work related ‘stress’ can be related to many issues. Worrying developments:  stable high levels of work intensity  no increase in workers’ room for manoeuvre Work related stress factors :  Work demands work intensity, working long hours, cognitive demands, work-life balance  Emotional demands contact with people, emotional involvement, consequences of mistakes  Room for manoeuvre  Social relations  Value conflicts and work dissatisfaction  Employment insecurity and lack of career prospects and insecurity in the work  Violence, harassment and bullying

Conclusions Working conditions : limited but noticeable changes over time … Challenge:  Understand the phenomena  No simple answers / explanation to most phenomena Multilevel. Multi actions needed European-wide comparative data Workers and employers surveys Differences between groups of workers, economic activities and countries are important.  Changes don’t go into the same directions for all groups of workers.  Identification of groups of workers, situations of work which are of concern but also of groups and situations which shall encourage us Context remains important Change is possible and actors have a role to play  Evidence of change over time of a number of indicators. Are we heading into the right direction ? Do we want to foster / nurture more changes ?
