02/12/2016
In this report Ursula Huws, Neil H. Spencer and Simon Joyce firstly investigate how crowd workers use online platforms in order to generate an income and secondly, identify their characteristics. The analysis shows that the gig economy is on the rise in the aforementioned five Member States, offering new employment structures and different types of work to various age groups. FEPS and UNI Europa as well as the respective co-funders published the results of each crowd working survey at press events and on their websites. The research project has attracted high media attention at the national level and the interest of several EU officials and academics across Europe, underlying the relevance and the innovative character of this project.

“It’s a mistake to think we can go back to the old normal after Trump”. Interview with FEPS Secretary General László Andor in Telex (HU), where he discusses the global trade tensions triggered by Trump-era tariffs, the shifting US-China dynamic, and the need for the EU to develop a new strategic approach in a permanently changed world order.
In an article in Delo, László Andor criticises Viktor Orbán government's economic policies, such as not allowing Hungary to join the euro area, which he believes would have helped curb inflation. He also criticises the government for blaming external enemies such as the President of the European Commission, to cover up its own failures.
