- Description
- 'In all countries of the world, especially in high-income countries, women declare a higher level of life satisfaction than men when they experience similar conditions (for example, pay and working conditions), but score lower on measures that capture short-term positive and negative emotions, and suffer from higher levels of depression. It is true that the advantage of women in terms of happiness and life satisfaction is not uniform along the life cycle: women are less happy than men the age of 18, happier than men afterwards and until their fifties, and less again thereafter. .The positive gap in life satisfaction is not explained by women’s situation on the labour market, their income, education, personality traits or other personal features or living conditions. On the contrary, women would have obvious reasons to be less satisfied with their life and their professional situation than men: they perform longer hours of unpaid work, receive lower wages and are still predominantly clustered into less prestigious occupations. Authors propose two main explanations for this contrasted picture. The first one is that men and women make different use of their time, especially when they live together. The second one is that they have different expectations.'

- Description
- 'She Figures 2015 investigates the level of progress made towards gender equality in research & innovation (R&I) in Europe. It is the main source of pan-European, comparable statistics on the representation of women and men amongst PhD graduates, researchers and academic decision-makers. The data also sheds light on differences in the experiences of women and men working in research – such as relative pay, working conditions and success in obtaining research funds. It also presents for the first time the situation of women and men in scientific publication and inventorships, as well as the inclusion of the gender dimension in scientific articles.'

- Description
- The aim of this report is to provide a complete research project on the issue of women in industrial research, as well as on the obstacles they might encounter as their careers develop and how they can overcome them. The fist part of the report 'Quantitative analysis' presents the results of a statistical analysis of the situation of women industrial scientists and engineers across Europe, and in comparison with non-European countries. Recommendations for the improvement of existing data sources and the development of complementary ones have been done. Also proposals for building gendersensitive indicators and benchmarking women's participation in industrial research have been put forward. The second part 'Qualitative analysis' identifies and describes good practices to promote increased female participation and improved career development in private sector research. Herefore, 29 case studies have been carried out in 11 EU-countries, and the different kinds of good practices have been analysed.

- Description
- This study suggests a way of looking at how embedded gender assumptions affect occupational health. Using a survey done by the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Health and Safety (TUTB) in 2001-2002, it contains a general analysis of the data returned by the survey, a consideration of trade union action and community policy, and a description of practical experiences through nine case studies that show the potential for 'engendering' preventive practices. With list of tables. Original title: La santé des femmes au travail en Europe : des inégalités non reconnues.

- Description
- Author investigates the interaction between the subjective and objective occupational conditions in affecting the overall health of women workers in industries that have accommodated information technology. The sample consisted of 23 establishments and 630 women respondents. Results show that the most prevalent issues among workers in the electronics industry included the need to upgrade skills, repetitive and fast paced work, pressure at work, and work that entailed both physically and mentally demanding tasks. It was found that the overall good physical health of the workers was affected by these factors: overtime, mental work, close monitoring, medium industries, poor quality of work, and hazardous work. Contrary to the belief that IT is light and stimulating, assembly line workers have reported rather issues in both objective and subjective occupational conditions affecting their health.
