| Almost all women will do paid work at some time during their lives. It is therefore necessary to handle gender appropriately during quantitative and qualitative studies. Women in the workplace, even when they share job titles with men, are often exposed to different musculoskeletal and psychological constraints and specific toxic agents. Job and task assignments may differ by sex. Gender-associated biological and social characteristics may interact with workplace constraints to modify the exposures or the effects of working conditions. Jobs preferentially assigned to women may have specific exposures that escape the attention of researchers. This session will present the implications of women's specific experiences of work for their health | ||||
