Summary:
This report by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) uses European Working Conditions Survey data and describes findings that the emotional demands of work have increased, underlining the growing importance of psychosocial risks at work. It also reveals that changes over time suggest that although the risk of poor health is concentrated in certain occupations, those occupations traditionally considered to be protected are increasingly exposed to risks that are likely to affect workers’ health and well-being.
