Impact of the coronavirus on the life and work of European citizens

In late September 2020, Dublin-based European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) published a new report presenting the results of a survey on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on personal and professional lives of citizens across the European Union (EU). The period between April and July 2020, despite showing a mild improvement in terms of working hours and job security, also saw a very unfavourable cumulative social and economic impact of the pandemic on citizens’ lives, especially for women and young people. Croatian respondents to the survey highlighted significant existential problems, they are pessimistic with regard to their financial future and have very low levels of trust in the national governments and the EU.
