This annual review highlights the most significant industrial relations developments in 2006 both at national and EU level. It examines the key issues covered by collective bargaining pay, working time, job security, training, and equal opportunities and looks at developments in the area of social partner activity, industrial action, cross-border activity and reconciliation of work, family and private life. The final, thematic chapter explores the topic of gender and career development, looking in particular at workplace segregation, the underrespresentation of women in managerial posts, the prevalence of part-time work and the attitudes of the social partners towards gender equality.
The study was compiled on the basis of individual national reports submitted by the EIRO correspondents. The text of each of these national reports is available below. The reports have not been edited or approved by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. The national reports were drawn up in response to a < http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/docs/eiro/tn0703019s/tn0703019s.doc > questionnaire and should be read in conjunction with it.
