Eurofound has just put online the 3rd round of its survey “Living, working and COVID-19”. Its aim is to understand the profound implications of the pandemic on the way people live and work in Europe. The first two rounds of the survey were carried out in April and July 2020.

The third cycle will run until 29 March 2021. It includes new questions, such as what people think about vaccination programmes and the quality and use of public services during the pandemic.
