Abstract: This Yearbook sets out to distil Eurofound’s key findings during 2009. The first to be published as part of Eurofound’s four-year work programme ‘Better work, better life’ can deliver only a partial picture of Eurofound’s research findings, given the breadth of the work undertaken every year. However, as a glance through the Yearbook reveals, the impact of the recession dominated Eurofound research across its various areas of expertise.

The first to be published as part of Eurofound’s four-year work programme ‘Better work, better life’ can deliver only a partial picture of Eurofound’s research findings, given the breadth of the work undertaken every year. However, as a glance through the Yearbook reveals, the impact of the recession dominated Eurofound research across its various areas of expertise. Moreover, Eurofound’s periodic, longitudinal research proved its worth, demonstrating the changes that have followed in the wake of the downturn to date.

Abstract: This second annual Yearbook on Living and working in Europe 2010 aims to convey the main findings of some of Eurofound's key currents of research – in particular, results and analysis from its three pan-European surveys on company practices, working conditions and quality of life.

All the surveys now enable us to paint some pictures of trends over time, crucial for understanding how Europe is developing and the changing challenges it is encountering. Not least among these challenges is the creation of a truly multicultural European society, a task being undertaken daily by both majority and minority communities. As detailed in last year’s publication, European governments and social partners are still dealing with the effects of the economic crisis; in many countries, short-time working schemes were extended or introduced as one response. Eurofound’s Yearbook also outlines how such responses to the crisis may also provide an opportunity, highlighting ways of adapting such schemes to combine both greater flexibility and greater security. Such adaptation can only take place with the cooperation of the social partners: the Yearbook 2010 looks at how both trade unions and employer organisations are adapting to meet the challenges of changing times.

All three surveys have been conducted repeatedly at regular intervals so that trends can be captured. Close monitoring of labour market developments lead to other interesting insights, like the fact that Europe has created better jobs but not more. The 2011 Yearbook can only provide a partial picture of the broad range of work undertaken by Eurofound during the past year.

Abstract: Il volume illustra i contributi al dibattito sulla qualità del lavoro che l'Isfol ha prodotto negli ultimi trent'anni, configurandosi come uno dei principali referenti, per l'Italia e per gli altri paesi, della ricerca sul tema. L'interesse dell'Isfol per tale filone di ricerca è nato già dall'inizio degli anni '80, e ha acquistato un nuovo impulso negli ultimi dieci anni, con l'avvio di un'indagine campionaria a carattere ricorrente, giunta ormai alla terza edizione.

L'interesse dell'Isfol per tale filone di ricerca è nato già dall'inizio degli anni '80, e ha acquistato un nuovo impulso negli ultimi dieci anni, con l'avvio di un'indagine campionaria a carattere ricorrente, giunta ormai alla terza edizione. Proprio in vista della presentazione dei risultati dell'indagine più recente si è voluto fare il punto sull'evoluzione della ricerca Isfol sulla qualità del lavoro, evidenziando in questo volume i riferimenti teorici, gli ambiti tematici, la metodologia e i risultati principali.
