This fourth annual review examines four key dimensions of working conditions and quality of work and employment: career and employment, health and well-being at work, skills development and worklife balance. The report outlines relevant legislative and policy developments, and examines trends in the workplace.
Gender equality and modernising labour law, which represent the cornerstones of the revision of the European social model, played a major role in policy developments and official reports on working conditions in Europe in 2006. The task of modernising labour law, in particular, ensured that the flexicurity debate took a central place in policy discussions.
Introduction
1 Legislative developments
2 Policy developments: Employment and social inclusion
3 Policy developments: Working conditions
4 Official statistics and trends in working conditions
6 Conclusion
Bibliography
