VIRTUAL EVENT: Employment and mental health: towards a shorter standard working week
21 Oct 2020, 13:00 – 14:00
In the session, Daiga Kamerāde will examine whether it is quantity or quality of work that matters most for workers' mental health, and how reduced working hours and Corona Job Protection Scheme (furlough) affected workers’ mental health during the pandemic .
She will be exploring the Employment Dosage research project and other ongoing research.
Using data from Understanding Society Survey and European Working Conditions Survey, she will discuss the minimum number of working hours needed in order to gain mental well-being benefits from paid work.
She will also discuss the number of working hours where the mental health benefits of work are at their highest.
