Learning and working in the EU neighbouring countries

This report reflects learning and working conditions in the EU neighbouring countries, stemming from a multiyear survey methodology, developed in collaboration with the ETF for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) and based on Eurofound’s multi-year survey on living and working conditions. Eurofound and ETF have joined forces in 2022 to expand living and working research to provide a unique, comparable evidence base on living, working, and learning conditions across EU Member States and EU neighbouring countries. This paper presents the main findings from 2024 survey implemented in the ETF partner countries. Whenever applicable, the analysis includes comparisons with 2023 data. The analysis offers trend insights on access to quality work, education and training, career guidance, work-based learning, and key social dimensions such as gender equality and worklife balance.
