This book provides a comprehensive, updated summary of research
evidence on the effects of stressful working and employment
conditions on workers’ health, as based on one of the worldwide
leading theoretical models, effort-reward imbalance. It offers
three innovative features that are appealing for research as well
as for policy.
Firstly, it presents and discusses comparable research findings
from different continents, in particular from Japan, China, and
Latin America. Secondly, it extends the conceptual framework
of research on this topic by analysing associations of work
stress with health in a life course perspective, and by linking
these associations to the macro-level of national labour and
social policies. Thirdly, the book helps to strengthen programs
and policies that aim at promoting healthy work locally,
nationally, and internationally, by providing solid facts on
which such programs can be based.
