Despite lower inflation and labour markets that remain relatively stable by headline indicators, respondents continue to face significant financial pressure, with widening gaps between income groups. Among employees, work–life balance continues to be an issue, particularly for those whose preferences for remote working do not match their actual arrangements. Preferences for regular telework have increased, with around half of men and women wishing to work from home several times a week. Respondents who would like to telework but cannot report the highest levels of fatigue and work‒family conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=90161%26qid=4876849\u002F1\u002F0107019c570da705-f0aae2d0-d3f6-4074-9730-535372c1e3b1-000000\u002FWHg8DTVLaWnCm8AzDbJDLqvxK2Q=246\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal mkoksal@etui.org.
