Working conditions of male and female football players
This was a series of two projects on the working conditions of football players of both sexes.
The following projects were both funded by the Global Players’ Unions during 2016-2018:
- Player labour conditions survey - women's game
- The labour conditions of professional footballers 2016/17
They involved the conduct for the first time of worldwide surveys of footballers playing for clubs and national teams. The survey findings relate to a number of issues:
- pay
- tournament prize money
- education
- discrimination
- money fixing
- the transfer market
- work-family balance.
