Publication d’un numéro spécial de la revue WORK

A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation, traitant du genre, des horaires de travail et de la règlementation travail-famille

Sandrine Caroly et Karen Messing sont fières d’annoncer la publication d’un numéro spécial de la revue scientifique WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation, traitant du genre, des horaires de travail et de la règlementation travail/famille. Le Gender and Work Technical Committee (TC) de l’International Ergonomics Association (IEA) est responsable de ce numéro spécial (voir ci-dessous pour plus d’informations sur le TC). Ce numéro porte sur les stratégies liées à l’équilibre travail-famille utilisées en milieu de travail. L’accent est mis sur les professions à l’extérieur du travail de bureau, et pour plusieurs articles, sur des professions à faibles revenus qui ne sont habituellement pas étudiées dans ce contexte.

The TC, set up by IEA to provide a gender perspective in ergonomic analysis, has been particularly active in discussing themes like work schedule regulation, risk perception, work methods, and other themes at the intersection of gender and ergonomics: How can we understand the differences between men’s and women’s working conditions and their effects on health? How can we integrate gender-sensitive analysis into our intervention and research in ergonomics? How can we design working situations that take into account the biological and social differences between men and women? How to understand the various work activity and regulatory strategies of women and men in male-dominated, female-dominated and more mixed-sex workplaces? How does thinking about gender change our models and our methodologies for ergonomics research and intervention? This journal issue represents the results of some of these discussions.
