Special Eurobarometer 377: Employment and Social Policy

A new Eurobarometer survey on employment issues and social affairs shows that more than a third of European citizens currently working are concerned about losing their jobs. However, the general sense of gloom about society as a whole — and about the chances of the economic crisis ending quickly — has not translated into a crisis of confidence when it comes to the way in which most respondents view their own prospects. Europeans generally consider that the impact of the EU on employment and social policies in their country is beneficial; it matters a great deal for European confidence – not to mention the EU itself — that ordinary citizens are aware of the EU’s efforts to tackle the problems that are such a source of anxiety today.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
