Working conditions and working time in an enlarged Europe (report)

Pubblicato: 17 November 2005

Working conditions and working time in an enlarged Europe presents a comparative study of working time in 10 central and eastern European countries (CEECs). Eight of these countries (the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) are among the 10 new Member States (NMS) of the European Union, while Bulgaria and Romania are two candidate countries whose accession is set for 2007. The report makes extensive use of the Foundation survey data on working time and contrasts this with research available from other sources.

Working conditions in the acceding and candidate countries (report)

Ten new Member States will join the European Union in May 2004 as part of the current phase of enlargement. The differing norms in both living and working conditions across the continent pose real challenges for Europe’s policymakers. Working conditions in the acceding and candidate countries provides the first important benchmark of the situation in all 13 countries. Gauging the status on issues ranging from stress in the workplace to types of employment or working hours, the report attempts to portray a realistic picture of the working environment of these countries as they take this critical step towards an enlarged Europe.
