Abstract The European Union (EU), together with its citizens, is undergoing profound change. Demographic change, greater global competition, technological developments and the enlargement of the EU itself are all shaping the lives, both private and professional, of ordinary men and women across the Member States. This overview uses the European Foundation's (Eurofound) research findings to capture a snapshot of what it means to live and work in Europe at the start of the 21st century. The detailed reports available through the Eurofound website provide deeper insights into the issues summarized here.
