^Objectives

^{The aim is to create a European Data Centre for Work and Welfare (EDACwowe) which will integrate and make publicly available existing and new quantitative and qualitative, micro and macro data relevant for the analysis of tensions between work and welfare. The aim is also to demonstrate how the (meta) data covered by EDAC can be used in analyses.}

Note

_{The EDAC database is  in the air as from April 2008}

^{The overall objective of the work package is to establish and run EDACwowe, which is an open-to-all, service oriented, integrated European Data Centre for Work and Welfare, where existing quantitative and qualitative data relevant for the analysis of tensions between work and welfare are organised into meta-data shells, and where new data generated within the network's strands are gathered, integrated, and harmonised. The Centre's services will be open to network members and others interested, such as policy-makers, interest groups, academics, students, media, etc.}

^{The operational objectives of the European Data Centre for Work and Welfare are:}

^{- To install and operate an Indicators Bank, which covers macro-statistical, aggregate level social indicators regarding work and welfare at trans-national, national and regional level,}

^{- To install and operate a Values Bank, which covers individual level data of work and welfare values, attitudes and preferences from a series of European opinion surveys,}

^{- To install and operate a Policy Bank, which covers systematized, qualitative data on work and welfare policies and policy reforms in European countries, e.g. in the form of policy maps}

^{- To carry out and present an Integrated Data Demonstration Project, which aims to show how the EDAC can be used to carry out studies which link macro quantitative data, micro quantitative data and institutional qualitative data into advanced, single analyses,}

^{- To install and operate the EDACwowe website which for EDACwowe clients will function as the single, integrated front stage access point to its services.}
