In France, a relatively high level of physical risk

In France, work-related physical risks are 17% higher than the European average, biochemical risks are 13.8%, work intensity is 4%, and work environment quality is 10% lower.

On the other hand, job security is 6.1% higher than the European average, and stability is 1.2%.

This is revealed by the work of researchers at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Public Policy Assessment (Liepp) at Sciences Po, who have just launched the “Scientific Mediation Project” to make the results of many scientific works accessible to all. Social (economics, management, sociology, political science, etc.) in relation to the work situation in France. the worldIn cooperation with lib Presses de Sciences Po will broadcast on Emploi’s channel Lemonde.fr The thirty texts that make up this project.

The quality of employment and work opens this series. After determining what the concept covers, the three researchers Mathilde Gergoat-Larivière, Malou Mufkami and Christine Ehrhel conducted a European comparative analysis. It shows that France is a rather poor student in Europe in terms of work quality, training and career prospects, but a good student for job security. While Italy also ranks poorly in terms of professional development, it does care about working conditions; As for Germany, its weakness in this matter relates to the quality of its ergonomics.

Exposure to high risks

The countries noted have a fairly high level of job quality, and France is in the middle, but it is ‘Not commensurate with his level of wealth’, note the researchers. Its high exposure to risk is most notable in this regard It has a relatively non-industrial employment structure..

From European surveys on living conditions conducted by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), an agency of the European Union, researchers developed a set of indicators to measure the quality of employment and work on several dimensions: conditions of employment (type of contract, job security), working conditions and its quality, working time and the balance between family and professional life, and finally access to training and employment opportunities. Deviations from the European average are calculated across all EU countries, plus the UK and Norway.
