A new survey published today reveals that the majority of Europeans have a positive view of the EU's role in employment and social affairs. In addition, three out of four say the European Union impacts positively on access to education and training as well as on job creation and unemployment. The survey results also show that the vast majority [84%] of European workers are confident about keeping their current jobs in the short term, but a similar proportion accepts that a 'job for life' is a thing of the past. Most respondents stress the importance of regular training and being able to adapt to a new job. In this respect, many recognise the support of the European Social Fund which helps people to improve their skills and job prospects. |
