Abstract

The objectives of the study were to explore the employment factors associated with long working hours, known as a risk factor for various health outcomes. The study relied on the national representative data of the 2013 French working conditions survey and a study sample of 23,378 full-time employees. Long working hours were defined by the threshold of 48 hours a week following the European Working Time Directive. The prevalence of long working hours was higher among men (13.5%) than among women (8.5%). Employees of the private sector, with permanent work contract, in small companies, and men in the services had a higher prevalence of exposure. This prevalence increased with educational and occupational levels. Our findings may help decision-makers to define preventive strategies. More research is needed to improve our knowledge of the employment factors associated with long working hours, as there may be strong differences between countries.

法国与长时间工作有关的就业因素

这项研究的目的是探讨与长时间工作有关的就业因素，这被认为是各种健康结果的风险因素。这项研究基于2013年法国工作条件调查的全国代表性数据，以及23378名全职员工的研究样本。根据欧洲工作时间指令，长工作时间被定义为每周48小时。长时间工作的流行率在男性中(13.5%)高于女性(8.5%)。拥有长期工作合同的私营部门雇员、小公司雇员和服务部门的男性受感染的比例较高。随着教育和职业水平的提高，这种流行率也在增加。我们的发现可能有助于决策者确定预防策略。需要更多的研究来提高我们对与长时间工作有关的就业因素的认识，因为国家之间可能存在很大的差异。

期刊介绍： Safety and Health at Work (SH@W) is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published quarterly in English beginning in 2010. The journal is aimed at providing grounds for the exchange of ideas and data developed through research experience in the broad field of occupational health and safety. Articles may deal with scientific research to improve workers'' health and safety by eliminating occupational accidents and diseases, pursuing a better working life, and creating a safe and comfortable working environment. The journal focuses primarily on original articles across the whole scope of occupational health and safety, but also welcomes up-to-date review papers and short communications and commentaries on urgent issues and case studies on unique epidemiological survey, methods of accident investigation, and analysis. High priority will be given to articles on occupational epidemiology, medicine, hygiene, toxicology, nursing and health services, work safety, ergonomics, work organization, engineering of safety (mechanical, electrical, chemical, and construction), safety management and policy, and studies related to economic evaluation and its social policy and organizational aspects. Its abbreviated title is Saf Health Work.
