European Working Conditions Surveys: 1991-2005
The evolution of the EWCS follows the changes in the EU itself over the last 15 years. In 1991, it covered
just 12 countries; 15 in 1995 and 16 in 2000 (including for the first time a non-EU country, Norway). The
2000 survey was extended in 2001 to cover the 10 candidate countries for EU membership. The fourth
survey, carried out in 2005, covered all 25 EU Member States, plus the acceding countries, Bulgaria and
Romania, the candidate countries, Croatia and Turkey, and the EFTA countries, Switzerland and Norway.
In this paper, the analysis is restricted to those countries that were EU members at the time each successive
survey was carried out.
