Coverage
Data was collected from 2001 to 2010 (the survey was not carried out in 2005). The initial sample size was 6,020 people (in 1999) and was increased to approximately 9,000 people after 2006 (in 2010, it was 9,240).

Catalonia is also represented
ECVT is a multi-stage, stratified survey, according to the census tracts, the dwellings and one person from each dwelling aged 17 and over. The questionnaire is composed by several areas of interest:
- demographic features: age, sex, educational level
- some occupational variables describing the workplace
- quality of life at work, including satisfaction, organization, environment, social relations at work, working time, security, income, professional training, reconciling work and family life, collective agreements, social and geographical mobility, associations, general life assessments. All the ECVT issues cover five main domains (satisfaction with work organisation, contracts and health conditions at work), work organisations, training, social and geographical mobility, and reconciling family and work.
Tables are depicted with a set of classification variables that refer to individuals (age, sex, level of education, professional status, occupation, income), to work (contract types, seniority in the workplace, types of work days, working conditions, economic activity, company size) and to others (regions, municipal size).

Applicability
ECVT investigates the quality of life at work by asking for information on situations and activities that occur in the people’s work environment and their family, and on subjective perceptions that workers have about their conditions and labour relations.
The weakness of ECVT is clearly related to the inconsistency during the last decade, which has been improved in the last five years where the domains, concepts and sample size were stabilized. No provision of microdata also limits the survey’s usefulness.
