Description
The objectives of the study were to explore the employment factors associated with long working hours,
known as a risk factor for various health outcomes. The study relied on the national representative data
of the 2013 French working conditions survey and a study sample of 23,378 full-time employees. Long
working hours were defined by the threshold of 48 hours a week following the European Working Time
Directive. The prevalence of long working hours was higher among men (13.5%) than among women
(8.5%). Employees of the private sector, with permanent work contract, in small companies, and men in
the services had a higher prevalence of exposure. This prevalence increased with educational and
occupational levels. Our findings may help decision-makers to define preventive strategies. More
research is needed to improve our knowledge of the employment factors associated with long working
hours, as there may be strong differences between countries.
