This thematic paper sheds light on the extent and nature of “temporary agency posting” through a legal and empirical analysis of the manner and conditions under which TWAs are involved in posting, their characteristics, the risk of non-compliance, and enforcement challenges.

The dataset contains original data collected through an online survey targeted at posting and receiving companies about their access to information regarding the posting of workers. As the first of its kind, this pilot survey study provides a window into the posting information access practices, challenges, needs, and recommendations of posting and receiving companies in the construction sector. 

The increase in demand for long-term care raises questions about the capacity of governments to provide access to needed care, how these services will be properly resourced and who should receive these benefits. This book provides a roadmap for investing in long-term care systems. It argues for increased public investment in high-quality, universally accessible long-term care and explains why these systems benefit everyone: households, health systems, economies, and societies. Bringing together a team of academics and policy experts from around the world, this book explains why and how governments can, and should, take action. Ricardo Rodrigues, Cassandra Simmons and Kai Leichsenring have contributed a chapter on the impact of long-term care on the financial situation of families in Europe.

This report is summarizing the findings of Work package 2 of the ECHOFunds project which conducted research on EU funds and the multi-annual financial framework (MFF) of the EU, the Charter conditionality, compliance and non-compliance with Charter rights and principles, as well as the role of national bodies with a human rights remit (NHRIs, equality bodies, ombuds institutions) and organisations representing civil society in the EU funding cycle.

The study analyses the experience of posted TCN workers in selected case study countries – Poland, Portugal and Slovenia – and during their posting assignments to other EU Member States.
