Abstract: Trends in gender, jobs, and working conditions in the European Union (EU) were examined. In 2000, representative samples of approximately 1,500 workers in each of the EU member states (500 in Luxembourg) were surveyed. To identify trends, the survey findings were compared with those of similar surveys conducted in 1991 and 1996. The comparison established that the pattern of working conditions in Europe and the gender dimension of those patterns remained fairly stable over the 1990s. Working intensity, as measured by the perceived speed of work, increased for both sexes. Gender segregation in paid and unpaid work remained a persistent feature in Europe. Although some gender differences in some aspects of working conditions were identified, no systematic pattern involving all the study indicators was identified. Women were lower paid and were more likely to be working in jobs dealing directly with customers or other users of the workplace, to have experienced or been aware of intimidation and discrimination at their workplace, and to feel that they have insufficient health and safety information when working in hazardous conditions. Women were also less likely to have planning responsibilities and more likely to have lower levels of job autonomy and working-time autonomy and were more likely to be employed part-time. (Sixty-seven tables/figures are included. The multivariate regression results are appended. The bibliography lists 46 references.) (MN)
