More perceptions, opinion survey on adult learning and continuing vocational education and training in Europe [er]. Volume 2, Views of adults in Europe. European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

In this second volume on the findings of its second opinion survey on adult learning and continuing vocational education and training (CVET), Cedefop has analysed the views of more than 40,000 people aged over 25 in the European Union, Iceland and Norway. The aim is to see how different circumstances, such as age, level of education and occupation, influence views of adult learning and CVET. It shows that adults strongly support adult learning and CVET and have a firm belief in the benefits they bring. However, participation in adult learning and CVET is not determined so much by the positive image and attractiveness, but by the unique circumstances that individuals face in their working lives. To help people better, aspects of vocational education and training policy need a rethink.

CSIRT capabilities in healthcare sector [er] : status and development. European Union Agency for Cybersecurity.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

In recent years, digitalisation has turned everything into something connected and smarter. However, while creating numerous opportunities for the European economy and society, technologies bring forward several new challenges. According to a recent study, cyber threats increase year over year, as the popularity of emerging technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, the large use of cloud computing, as well as connected devices, provide copious ways to invade an organisation. This report focuses on sectoral CSIRT capabilities status and development within the health sector since the implementation of the NIS Directive. The aim of the report is to offer insights on current incident response (IR) trends in order to draw practical recommendations about the development of IR capabilities in the health sector.

The childcare gap in EU Member States [er]. European Commission. Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion.

Publication	Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2020.
Summary	This policy memo offers an overview of what is known about the childcare gap, discusses policies to address the gap and reflects on how future research might build on this knowledge base. Member States might look to reduce the childcare gap by expanding childcare leave policies, ECEC provision, or a combination of the two, but this is a complex policy area with competing pressures and trade-offs.

Enablers and disablers of crossborder long-term apprentice mobility : evidence from country- and project-level investigations. European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

Cross-border long-term mobility of apprentices (CBLTMA) is understood as the period an apprentice spends abroad in in-company training (potentially combined with training at a VET provider) for a duration of minimum six months, and typically of up to 12 months, as part of his/her apprenticeship training. It is more difficult to organise than mobility in school-based VET and higher education, largely due to the nature of the relationship between the apprentice and the training companies; the latter must be willing to let the apprentice undergo a part of his/her training abroad. By considering the specific cities of apprenticeships, this publication presents considerations on the enablers and disablers of CBLTMA and shows what would need to be considered to make CBLTMA work in the medium to long term.

Study on the implementation of life cycle assessment and environmental footprint methods in the context of public procurement [er] : final report. European Commission. Directorate-General for Environment.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

Directives (EU) 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU define the European regulatory framework on public procurement. They enable public procurers to use green criteria in their tenders, e.g. those that the European Commission develops and publishes (EU GPP criteria). Lifecycle assessment (LCA) plays a role in some of these criteria. The respective laws of the EEA Member States encourage the use of environmental criteria and allow instruments that are build upon LCA methods. The European Commission launched its Environmental Footprint Initiative in 2013 to support methodological harmonisation in the field of LCA as a potential suitable basis for supporting environmentally driven policies. This study aims at supporting the Commission in assessing how to best address LCA-based information in public procurement procedures by evaluating existing practices in nine EEA countries and assessing how LCA-based instruments may serve contracting authorities and tenderers. An analysis of relevant regulations, literature and an empirical approach that integrated interviews with experts on Green Public Procurement identified various instruments of interest. All of these entail benefits and limits and none can be seen as applicable in all EEA countries without adaptation. Nevertheless, this study shows existing requirements and identifies possible best practice approaches and future options.

Summary

The EIB Group, invests in projects and operations that make a real difference to people’s lives, as well as protecting the environment and tackling climate change. Impact therefore drives everything the Group does. Its shareholders — the Member States of the European Union — ask the Group to support investments that are not just financially sound, but also transform the lives of people across Europe and around the globe. This report provides an overview of the methods we use at the EIB Group to track and understand our impact. It shows the interrelationship between the different instruments we have at our disposal. For example, it describes how we meticulously incorporate the assessment of results and impact into the Bank’s systems to provide our own decision-makers and stakeholders with consistent and reliable information on what our projects achieve, and to make sure that our operations achieve the greatest impact. It shows how we estimate the macroeconomic impact of EIB Group activities and demonstrates how we complement systematic results assessment with targeted economic studies to gain deeper insights into how our projects ultimately impact people’s lives.

Convergence ascendante dans le domaine de l’égalité de genre [er] : l’Union se rapproche-t-elle de l’égalité? European Institute for Gender Equality.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

Au cours de la dernière décennie, l’UE a progressé lentement sur la voie de l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes. Étant donné que les réalisations en matière d’égalité de genre varient considérablement d’un État membre à l’autre, il importe de comprendre l’évolution des disparités entre les États membres et les conséquences de cette évolution sur la convergence économique et sociale ascendante dans l’UE. Il est essentiel de noter que les incidences de la crise de la COVID-19 risquent non seulement d’anéantir les réalisations passées, mais pourraient également entraîner des disparités croissantes entre les États membres. La présente note d’orientation, élaborée conjointement par Eurofound et l’EIGE, examine les modèles de convergence en matière d’égalité de genre, mesurés par l’indice d’égalité de genre, dans les États membres au cours de la période 2010-2018.

Convergencia al alza en igualdad de género [er] : ¿cuán cerca está la Unión de la igualdad? European Institute for Gender Equality.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

A lo largo de la última década, la UE ha avanzado lentamente hacia la igualdad de género. Dado que los logros en materia de igualdad de género varían considera-blemente de un Estado miembro a otro, es importante comprender la evolución de las disparidades entre los Estados miembros y las implicaciones que esto tiene para la convergencia económica y social al alza en la UE. Fundamentalmente, el impacto de la crisis de la COVID-19 no solo amenaza con anular lo logrado hasta la fecha sino que además puede dar lugar a un aumento de las disparidades entre los Estados miembros. Este informe, elaborado conjuntamente por Eurofound y EIGE, investiga patrones de convergencia en materia de igualdad de género medidos con el Índice de Igualdad de Género en los Estados miembros durante el período 2010- 2018.

Aufwärtskonvergenz der Gleichstellung der Geschlechter [er] : wie weit ist die Union der Gleichheit noch entfernt? European Institute for Gender Equality.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

In den vergangenen zehn Jahren hat die EU langsam Fortschritte auf dem Weg hin zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter gemacht. Da die Erfolge bei der Gleichstellung von Männern und Frauen von Mitgliedstaat zu Mitgliedstaat unterschiedlich sind, ist es wichtig, die Entwicklung dieser Unterschiede zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten und ihre Auswirkungen auf die wirtschaftliche und soziale Aufwärtskonvergenz in der EU zu verstehen. Von entscheidender Bedeutung ist es, dass die Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Krise nicht nur die bisherigen Erfolge gefährden können, sondern auch eine Verschärfung der Unterschiede zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten nach sich ziehen können. Die vorliegende politische Kurzanalyse wurde von Eurofound und EIGE gemeinsam erarbeitet und widmet sich der Untersuchung der Konvergenzmuster bei der Geschlechtergleichstellung, gemessen am Gleichstellungsindex, im Zeitraum 2010-2018 in den Mitgliedstaaten.

Defining and identifying femicide : a literature review. European Institute for Gender Equality.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.

Summary

This report is part of the work of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) on the collection of administrative data on violence against women. This report is part of a broader EIGE study aimed at supporting EU Member States in their efforts to collect administrative data on intimate partner violence and gender-related killings of women and girls (femicide). It is accompanied by further publications on data collection on violence against women. This literature review contributes to a comparative analysis of definitions of, types of, indicators of and data collection systems on femicide in the EU Member States and the United Kingdom, and at international level. It is based on a comprehensive and in-depth search for studies published in respected peer-reviewed journals and in books. The aim is to give an overview of the existing multidisciplinary literature on variables and factors used to identify femicide and gender- related motives of female homicides. It provides a structured outline of the state of play on defining and creating typologies of femicide. The literature review relies on a broad definition of femicide as ‘structural violence’, while acknowledging that femicide is an individual act with a specific motivation. It also reviews methodologies of gathering data on femicide, together with current challenges, and identifies adequate variables to identify femicide and gender-related motives of homicide. Only some of the literature described can contribute to developing an indicator of femicide or statistical measurement. This literature review presents an overview of peer-reviewed articles and publications on femicide from 2015 to 2020. Only some earlier articles and books are included, often quoted within more recent work. The systematic search was mainly restricted to English-language publications.
