Undeclared work in European countries

Undeclared work (UDW) is a major issue which affects governments, businesses and workers across Europe.

It can have far-reaching consequences for individuals, firms and societies, including

• breaches of workers’ rights,
• unfair competition,
• reduced tax revenues.

European countries are affected differently by UDW.
