Annual Survey of the Community Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity, PROGRESS

Welcome to the starting page of the PROGRESS Annual Survey!

The survey is structured around five distinct, yet interlinked PROGRESS policy sections, with their key policy aims mentioned below:

1. Employment (supports the implementation of the European Employment Strategy (EES);
2. Social protection and social inclusion (supports the implementation of the open method of coordination (OMC) in the field of social protection and inclusion);
3. Working conditions, including restructuration (supports the improvement of the working environment and working conditions, including health and safety at work and reconciling work and family life);
4. Anti-discrimination and diversity (supports the effective implementation of the principle of non-discrimination and promotes its mainstreaming in all Community policies);
5. Gender equality (supports the effective implementation of the principle of gender equality and promotes gender mainstreaming in all Community policies).

Each of the above mentioned policy sections have a separate questionnaire. They are similar in structure, yet adjusted to the outcomes and outputs of the concrete policy section. Each questionnaire consists of multiple choice questions and should take you about 15 minutes to complete. The questionnaires are available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Your responses will be kept confidential and will not be divulged to anyone.

To start with the survey, please select below one of the questionnaires that corresponds to your competence area. For authentication purposes you are also requested to indicate your e-mail address. Within several minutes you will receive to it some further instructions and the link to the online questionnaire you selected.

Upon completing the selected questionnaire, you will be given an option to return to this page and fill in the questionnaires dealing with the remaining policy sections as well!

We kindly ask you to complete the questionnaires you choose to answer by February 5, 2010.
