About Eurofound
The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) is a tripartite European Union Agency, whose role is to provide knowledge to assist in the development of better social, employment and work-related policies. Eurofound was established in 1975 by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1365/75 to contribute to the planning and design of better living and working conditions in Europe. A new Founding Regulation was adopted on 20 December 2018 and took effect on 20 February 2019.
Eurofound performs research, conducts surveys and communicates its findings to a wide audience.
Eurofound’s research priorities for 2025–2028 are shaped by the opportunities and challenges arising from four mega-drivers: climate change, demographic change, technological change and re-globalisation.
