"Work is growing more intensive, new technology use and training opportunities are still limited, working hours are getting shorter but are still mainly set by employers with limited scope for change, health and safety at work still remain a big concern, working conditions differ widely between the “old” and “new” Member States, between women and men, and between different age groups. This is the evidence from the Fourth Working Conditions Survey done in 2005 by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, following those of 1991, 1995 and 2000/2001. As the fourth survey, it is a rich seam of information on trends in European working conditions."
