    Representativeness of the European social partner organisations [er] : ICT and telecoms sector. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2019], c2019.
    Summary
    The aim of this representativeness study is to identify the relevant national and supranational social partners (that is, the trade unions and employer organisations) in the field of industrial relations in the telecommunications sector and the ICT sector, and to show how they relate to the sector’s European interest associations representing the employees and the employers. The report is divided into three parts: an overview of the economic specificities and the employment trends in the ICT and telecommunications sectors; an analysis of the social partner organisations in all 28 EU Member States; and an analysis of the relevant European organisations, in particular their membership composition and capacity to negotiate. In this chapter, the objectives of the study are presented along with an introduction to the applied methodology. The context of this study is the European sectoral social dialogue committee (ESSDC) for the telecommunications sector, which was formally established in 2000 by UNI Europa and the European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association (ETNO). Before 2000, UNI Europa and ETNO had been involved in an informal working group which was established in 1990. This is the historical background of this study. Since then, the ICT and telecommunications sectors have converged. Therefore, both sectors are analysed in this report. Specific to the telecommunications sector is the importance of large telecommunications companies. ETNO is an association of a number of those large telecommunications companies; it does not have any employer organisations in its membership. This study, however, with its bottom-up approach to data collection, considers both these large corporations as well as the sectoral employer organisations (see the second and third chapters) in the telecommunications and ICT sectors. As a result, the European DIGITAL SME Alliance and DigitalEurope are included in the fourth chapter along with ETNO.

    Representativeness of the European social partner organisations [er] : metal sector. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2018], c2018.
    Summary
    Representativeness studies are conducted for three reasons: - the European Commission’s aims to confirm the representatives of the social partner associations consulted under Article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU); - representativeness is a criterion to be eligible for setting up of an ESSDC, or the participation in one of them; - representativeness means also having the capacity to negotiate agreements that can lead to an implementation by Council decision as provided by Article 155 of the TFEU. Representativeness is defined by the Commission Decision on the establishment of European Sectoral Social Dialogue Committees (98/500/EC) (European Commission, 1998). It includes the following requirements for an organisation to be recognised as a representative European social partner organisation: - to relate to specific sectors or categories and be organised at European level; - to consist of organisations that are themselves an integral and recognised part of Member States’ social partner structures and have the capacity to negotiate agreements, and are representative of several Member States; - to have adequate structures to ensure its effective participation in the work of the sectoral social dialogue committees. To accomplish the aim of the study, the study first identifies the relevant national social partner organisations in the metal sector before analysing the structure of the sector’s relevant European organisations, in particular their membership composition. This involves clarifying the unit of analysis at both the national and European level of interest representation. The study includes only organisations whose membership domain is classed as metal-‘sector-related’. In terms of territorial coverage, the study includes the EU28

    The future of manufacturing in Europe [er]. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2019.
    Summary
    The pilot project The Future of Manufacturing in Europe is an explorative and future-oriented study. It explores the future adoption of some key game-changing technologies and how this adoption can be promoted, even regionally. The analysis of implications for working life focuses primarily on tasks and skills, not only at the white-collar, tertiary-education level, but also for blue-collar occupations, including a focus on challenges facing national and company apprenticeship systems. The future orientation also includes quantitative estimates of the employment implications of the Paris Climate Agreement, of large increases in global tariffs and of radical automation. It also measures the return of previously offshored jobs to Europe. Other research examines how the deepening globalisation provides opportunities for small companies to engage in international supply chains. This final report summarises the 10 project reports, which are complemented by 47 case studies, 27 policy instruments and 4 associated publications.

    Technology scenario [er] : employment implications of radical automation. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2019.
    Summary
    This report looks into the impact of the accelerated application of automation and digitisation technologies on the wage and tasks structure of employment in Europe. Despite the high level of uncertainty of these projections, the contribution of this report is to extend the analysis beyond just the technologically feasible substitution of workers by machines by incorporating some economics to the analysis. This includes the macroeconomic feasibility of the investment cost of automation, the multiplier effects of loss of demand – not only because of initial job loss, but also as a result of the shift away from other labour incomes – and job creation in the supply chain emanating from the increased demand for information and communications technology (ICT) equipment. The analysis is carried out using the E3ME macroeconometric model, which provides information on sectoral impacts, together with the Warwick Labour Market Extension model for occupational analysis. Further analysis of the employment developments in Europe is undertaken using Eurofound’s European Jobs Monitor.

    Company initiatives to align apprenticeships to advanced manufacturing. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2019.
    Summary
    Building on the analysis of national apprenticeship systems in the 2018 Eurofound report 'Adaptation of national apprenticeship systems to advanced manufacturing', this report summarises the results of 14 case studies of good practice in the manufacturing sector in five EU Member States (Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland and Italy) and two countries outside Europe (Australia and the United States). Situated in different national and sector-specific environments, all case studies are characterised by the aim to adjust apprenticeship programmes and/or practices in response to challenges emerging from advanced manufacturing technologies and processes. The case studies examine a series of different issues, notably context, drivers for implementing change, impact and crucial factors for success.

    Reshoring in Europe : overview 2015–2018. European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2019.
    Summary
    Reshoring – namely the relocation of value chain activities back to the home country or its nearby region – has attracted an increasing interest both among scholars and policymakers. The European Reshoring Monitor is a collaborative project between Eurofound and a consortium of Italian universities aiming to monitor reshoring cases in Europe. This 2018 annual report provides a holistic and longitudinal overview of EU reshoring trends and characteristics by examining reshoring cases (from 2014 to 2018), policy initiatives, and the related literature. In quantitative terms, reshoring appears to be substantially stable, while qualitatively significant changes emerge relative to target countries, sectors and motivations. Reshoring flows have broadened to encompass northern and eastern Europe. The concentration in labour-intensive sectors observed in the past has declined. Cost factors that dominated the first wave of the phenomenon have today given way to factors linked to the global reorganisation of value chain activities.
