The overall objective of Woliweb was to contribute to the understanding of citizens' work life attitudes, preferences and perceptions by a quantitative, nine-country analysis of the impact of a citizen's socio-economic framework on his/her attitudes, preferences, and perceptions with regard to this framework. The analyses focused on four issues:

• perceptions of pay discrimination by gender or ethnicity in relation to any factual pay gap;
• preferences for more or fewer working hours in relation to working hours and household duties;
• attitudes towards collective bargaining coverage in relation to actual coverage by agreements;
• perceptions of job insecurity in relation to dismissals and reorganisations at the workplace.
