Eurofound has launched the fieldwork for the sixth European Working Conditions Survey.

Based on interviews with over 43,000 workers, this research tracks the current state of working conditions in Europe, highlights the quality of work and employment, and monitors changing trends. The first findings of the survey will be presented at the end of 2015.

The European Working Conditions Surveys provide comparative information about working conditions, including issues such as working time, health and safety at work, work organisation, work-life balance, training, and overall satisfaction with working conditions. The underlying aim is to help policymakers improve overall living and working conditions.

To date, Eurofound has carried out five European Working Conditions Surveys, in 1991, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010.

In cooperation with Ipsos, Eurofound will interview around 43,000 workers in 35 European countries during the period February to June 2015. Interviews will be carried out face-to-face in the person’s home and collected information will be treated in the strictest confidentiality.

The survey targets a random sample of working people ranging from 1,000 to 3,300 in each country. The Maltese section is being handled by Misco.
