European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS)

European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS)

The European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) is a comprehensive survey conducted every five years to evaluate the working conditions of employees and the self-employed across Europe. It provides a detailed overview of the daily work experiences of men and women, covering various themes such as employment status, working hours, training opportunities, physical and psychosocial risks, health and safety, work-life balance, financial security, and worker participation. The survey enables researchers to explore the interconnections between different aspects of working conditions, identify at-risk groups and areas of concern, track progress, and monitor trends over time. This information is crucial for policymakers, employers, and researchers to understand and improve the quality of work life in Europe.
