Abstract:
Work plays a significant part in the lives of most Europeans. It is recognised at EU policy level that understanding the conditions under which people work across the different EU countries is central to achieving improved quality of work, greater productivity and increased employment the so called Lisbon objectives. The Foundations European working conditions surveys, conducted every five years, have been providing a valuable insight into quality-of-work issues since 1990. The fourth European Working Conditions Survey presents the views of workers on a wide range of issues including work organisation, working time, equal opportunities, training, health and well-being and job satisfaction.

Abstract:
The Foundations European working conditions surveys, conducted every five years, have been providing a unique insight into quality-of-work issues since 1990. In this fourth survey, interviews were conducted in late 2005 with nearly 30,000 workers in 31 countries (the EU25, the two acceding countries of Bulgaria and Romania, as well as Croatia, Turkey, Switzerland and Norway). The survey covers a wide range of topics, including physical risks, working time, work organisation, employability, work satisfaction, health outcomes, absenteeism, work sustainability, worklife balance, violence and harassment and job performance.
