Those interested in the other studies currently available (in the original language or in English translation) can obtain them from the European Foundation. The European Foundation wishes to stress that the analyses and opinions contained in the study reports are the sole responsibility of the institutes which compiled them. 1.4 In a very general way, it can be observed that there is an increase in shiftwork. This increase is particularly noticeable in the mechanical engineering, food, drink and tobacco, plastics, and paper sectors. However it is necessary to note that this arises much more from an increase in the proportion of number of workers affected than from an increase in the number of establishments using such a production system. 1.5 Even if one observes a general decrease in employment in a given branch of industry, it appears that the proportion of shiftworkers may remain the same. 1.6 1.6.

The European Foundation wishes to stress that the analyses and opinions
contained in the study reports are the sole responsibility of the
institutes which compiled them. 1.4 In a very general way, it can be observed that there is
an increase in shiftwork. This increase is particularly
noticeable in the mechanical engineering, food, drink
and tobacco, plastics, and paper sectors. However it is
necessary to note that this arises much more from an
increase in the proportion of number of workers affected
than from an increase in the number of establishments
using such a production system.
1.5 Even if one observes a general decrease in employment in
a given branch of industry, it appears that the proportion
of shiftworkers may remain the same.
1.6 1.6.1 Regarding the trend of development of shiftwork
according to the shift system, important
disparities appear both at international comparison
level and at national, region by region.
1.6.2 There does not appear to be a general connection
concerning the development of continuous and
semi-continuous work relative to the development
of discontinuous work. However a tendency to a
reduction in night work is shown, although tending
to apply to cleaning, machine surveillance and
maintenance work.
1.7 The following table indicates the proportion of shiftworkers,
by shift system, as a percentage of total shiftworkers:
