Abstract

Uvod: Članek obravnava razlike med spoloma v delovnih razmerah ter z njimi povezanimi psihološkimi in zdravstvenimi tveganji v Sloveniji. Metode: Analiza temelji na 5. evropski raziskavi o delovnih razmerah in podatkih iz posebnega modula o psihičnih in zdravstvenih tveganjih na delovnem mestu v Sloveniji, pridobljenih v letu 2010. Rezultati: Obstajajo razlike med spoloma v delovnih razmerah in zadovoljstvu zaposlenih z delovnimi razmerami ter v fizičnih in psihičnih zdravstvenih težavah, ki jih zaposleni imajo. Analiza povezanosti med z zdravjem povezanimi težavami in različnimi delovnimi razmerami kaže tudi na razlike med spoloma. Zaključek: Ženske so bolj preobremenjene s plačanim in z neplačanim delom, poročajo o manjši avtonomiji na delovnem mestu, so manj zadovoljne z delovnimi pogoji in poročajo o večjem številu telesnih in duševnih težav, ki so povezane z delom.
