| Abstract |
On the basis of representative surveys conducted in Germany, this research report analyses the prevalence of job stain and health problems among employees, with an emphasis on flexible forms of work (temporary work, predefined duration employment, shift work, night work, weekend work). Based on an empirical approach, the report first compares workers' physical and psychological loads during the years 1985/1986 with those of the years 1998/1999, then briefly describes trends in flexible work methods. Finally, with the help of bivariate and multivariate methods, it analyses the influence of flexible forms of work on workers' health problems. |
