E-GRUiEN is an inter-disciplinary and multi-method research project that asks:
E-GRUiEN combines historical analysis from similar past transformations, observational data, such as legal and policy analyses, public statements by social partners, as well as quantitative analyses of secondary data from labour force and social surveys with original data that will be collected through qualitative interviews, focus groups, and participatory action research. Through this, we will get a systematic understanding of the current situation in social dialogue, bargaining, and the current outcomes which can be linked to the industrial relations for each case sector in each case country.
Overall, the project will give evidence based guidance on how social dialogue institutions can be designed to steer societies through fundamental economic transformations such as the rise of new sectors and the growth of new forms of work in the context of digitalisation and green transition.
