'The report examines changes in working conditions, focusing on the extent of occupational concentration of, .and segregation between, the sexes in today’s workplace and showing how this impacts on the quality of women’s and men’s working lives. Key similarities and differences in women’s and men’s working environments are examined, while specific aspects of job quality – including working hours, job satisfaction, work–life compatibility and work-related health outcomes – are explored to help gauge the experiences of women and men in an everchanging workplace.'
'In 2015, the sixth EWCS interviewed almost 44,000 workers (both employees and self-employed people) in 35 European countries: the 28 EU Member States, the five EU candidate countries, and Norway and Switzerland. Workers were asked a range of questions concerning employment status, work organisation, learning and training, working time duration and organisation, physical and psychosocial risk factors, health and safety, work–life balance, worker participation, earnings and financial security, as well as work and health.'
