Summary:

Special Eurobarometer published by the European Commission in March 2014 on attitudes relating to undeclared work in the European Union (EU).

Further information:

Undeclared work, in the sense of paid activities which are legal but concealed from public authorities, is an important component of tax and social security fraud. There is a legitimate concern that today’s difficult labour market and social situation encourage undeclared work.

However, this Special Eurobarometer, a re-edition of a similar survey conducted in 2007, not only shows little variation in the extent of the phenomenon since the crisis, but even a significant reduction in some countries, which may be associated in many cases with new, effective policies to combat it. Further analysis of the survey and the underlying policy scene is provided in the 2013 Employment and Social Developments in Europe Review.
