Nearly two thirds of Romanians consider current working conditions in the country are bad, while 55 percent consider these conditions have deteriorated over the past five years, according to a Eurobarometer survey released Thursday.

Working conditions are defined as working time, work organisation, health and safety at work, employee
representation and relation with the employer.

Just over half of the respondents say that working conditions in their country are good (53 percent), with 8 percent saying they are ‘very good’ and 45 percent that they are ‘fairly good’.

On the other hand, more than one quarter say conditions are ‘fairly bad’ (28 percent), while 15 percent think
they are ‘very bad’.

Country results vary from 87 percent in Denmark to 16 percent in Greece.

Respondents who are currently working are much more likely to say working conditions in their country are good when compared to people with working experience who are not currently working (61 percent vs. 46 percent). Employees are more likely to say that working conditions in their country are good compared to self-employed and manual workers (64 percent vs. 54 percent and 52 percent respectively).

All respondents were asked whether they thought working conditions in their country had improved, stayed the same, or deteriorated over the last five years6. Most think working conditions have deteriorated during this period (57 pct). Just over one quarter (27 pct) think conditions have stayed the same, while 12 pct think conditions have improved.
