This podcast, launched on International Women’s Day this year in conjunction with the European Institute for Gender Equality, debates issues related to closing the gender gaps across pay, employment and caring, and explores innovative options to promote change.

COVID-19 turned everything upside down as we have seen from the results of our unique pan-European Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey and we are still striving to make sense of the new hybrid, blended work experience. Will this in fact mean we can finally work longer and better while still maintaining a good quality of life?

Émotions (au travail)Les effets pervers de l'autonomie au travailDans ce nouvel épisode de Travail (en cours), Camille Maestracci s’interroge sur notre besoin d’autonomie au travail. Est-ce qu’on gagne tous à décider de comment on exerce notre travail, à quel rythme, et dans quel but, ou est ce qu’on a aussi besoin de repères, d’un cadre, voire même d’une hiérarchie ? Est-ce que l’autonomie est forcément bénéfique, ou peut-elle aussi être toxique ?La question de l’autonomie est centrale dans les questions de qualité de vie au travail. A la fin des années 1970, Robert Karasek, un sociologue...2021-01-2827 min

Литва в мире. Мир в Литве02122020 | Литва в мире. Мир в ЛитвеПострадавшим от репрессий белорусам литовские визы будут выдаваться бесплатно, решило правительство. По данным нашего МИДа, пока в Беларуси продолжаются протесты оппозиции, а режим продолжает применять насилие, в Литву приезжает все больше граждан соседней страны. Часть из них пользуются Шенгенской визой, часть - получают специальное гуманитарное разрешение МВД Литвы.***Жители нашей страны чаще, чем среднестатистический европеец, пользуются бесконтактными платежными карточками. По данным Центробанка Европы, мы бесконтактной картой рассчитываемся каждый второй раз, а в среднем житель еврозоны – каждый третий. Однако не менее важными остаются и наличные, это все еще самый популярный способ оплачивать покупки и услуги. Наши соотечественники также чаще других европейцев покупают в интернет-магазинах. С другой стороны, жители Литвы - одни из лидеров в списке получающих постоянные доходы наличными. Заработок прямо в руки получает каждый пятый наш человек, а в еврозоне – каждый десятый.***Европарламентарии предлагают обеспечить людям право после работы отключаться от интернета. Комитет по делам занятости уверен, что и в правовых актах Содружества, и в трудовых договорах необходимо предусмотреть право работников после окончания рабочего времени выключать все цифровые приборы и оставаться недоступными. По поводу данной резолюции весь европарламент намерен голосовать в январе. По данным агентства Eurofound, с начала пандемии коронавируса более чем две трети жителей ЕС работают из дома, интенсивно используя для этого интернет и технологии. Однако, по данным специалистов, это имеет и пагубные последствия, поскольку постоянная доступность создает условия для более долгого рабочего дня и стирает границы между профессиональной и личной жизнью.2020-12-0201 min
