Key challenges and how we deal with them
Issues
Fragmentation of the sector at the national level
Lack of up-to-date and reliable data due to rapid changes in the labour market and in the sector
Complex picture at national level due to diversity of – Labour markets
– Economies
– Legal frameworks
– Needs of employers and employees
Lack of comparable data across countries due to different definitions and national classifications
Our approach
Deep knowledge of national context (labour market, industrial relations, labour law etc…)
In-depth face to face interviews key to collect information from primary sources (member organisations of EURO-MEI/UNI Europa, FIA, FIM, EFJ, EBU and CEPI)
Interviews with relevant stakeholders such as national skills councils in the audiovisual sector or equivalent bodies, national statistical institutes, or relevant Ministries
Independent research: Unbiased and transparent presentation of findings
Mixed methods: quantitative and qualitative analysis – comparative analysis of available evidence& contextualisation of findings
Identifying gaps in evidence and questions for follow-up research or actions
12
Next steps for this study (Stage 2)
Analysis of EU and international sources: – Analysis of Eurostat data (tailored made requests for Labour Force survey data focusing on
the audiovisual sector)
– Analysis of available literature at EU/international level (including ILO Global Dialogue Forum on Employment Relationships in the Media and Culture Sector)
National research (10 Member States - pilot countries: FR, IT, ES) Our team of researchers may have already contacted you/your organisation, or will contact you soon
– Finalisation of the research tools for national researchers and provision of contact details
– Desk-research at the national level, including data collection
– Semi-structured interviews with member organisations of EURO-MEI/UNI Europa, FIA, FIM, EFJ, EBU and CEPI at the national level (mostly face-to-face interviews, between 4-8 per country)
– Interviews with relevant stakeholders such as national skills councils in the audiovisual sector or equivalent bodies, national statistical institutes, or relevant Ministries which may collect data on sectoral trends
– Drafting on national reports
