This Country Report Austria is part of the GDPoweR project on platform work in food delivery and ride-hailing. It explores three areas: how platforms collect and use worker data, social partners' strategies for negotiating collective agreements, and how these agreements are monitored and enforced. 

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.

Europe is undergoing significant demographic shifts, that call, among other things, for strengthening long-term care (LTC) systems. The European Centre is once more contributing to related policy discussions through an updated report on Facts and Figures on Long-Term Care and Healthy Ageing. This report provides comparative data on ageing and the state of LTC. Needs, funding, workforce trends and challenges are highlighted as well as the role of informal care, inequalities, unmet needs, and the impact of digital transformation and climate change.

The Bridge Building (BB) Peer Review Report on Fighting Undeclared Work was developed within the European Centre's Bridge Building Initiative to follow up on the successful implementation of the project BB Peer Reviews and Training—Mutual Learning Activities in BB countries (06/2021 – 03/2024).
