The worst working conditions in Europe where Kosovo is positioned?

Euroverification takes a look at the data behind these claims.

Social networking users in France have reacted to statements recently made on television by economist Jean-Claude Delgènes, who said France has <x0nd) left behind in terms of working conditions”.

“In a study carried out at the end of 2021 and published in 2022, France is ranked 36th, at the end of the list with Albania, in terms of working conditions”, said Delgenes for Public Senate, the official TV channel of the French Parliament's upper house.

His statements have prompted a flurry of reactions on social networks, Telegraphy broadcast.

This is at a time when the issue of poor working conditions has become a hot topic in France.

During the past two and a half months, five young and interns aged 15 to 19 have lost their lives in accidents at work, raising questions about working conditions in the country.

Euronews took a closer look at the data to verify Delgenes' claims.

France lags behind most other European countries where Kosovo is located?

These claims are based on a 2021 Eurofound study, a Dublin headquarters agency that conducted research on living conditions and work in European countries.

Their latest analysis of working conditions in Europe, known as EWCS, dates back to 2021. It is expected that up-to-date ground results will be released later this year.

The research analyses working conditions in 36 European countries, including all 27 European Union member states.

The study includes a <x0Dide of the quality of work”, which combines data on various aspects of health, safety, job satisfaction, and others to measure the stress level that workers experience in the workplace.

The results suggest that more employees in France are exposed to extremely stressful “ ” or very stressful “” than in most other countries.

According to these findings, in Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia and Poland alone, there are more workers working under extremely stressful “ “ ” or “very stressful” than in France.

Meanwhile, Kosovo is better positioned by ranking at 10.

Kosovo has a very small percentage of the extreme load, just like most other countries involved in the analysis. While in the segment of the top charge, our country ranks proportionally with other states such as Spain, Montenegro, Italy and Sweden.

France is not in the same position as “with Albania”

When we take into account even those who have mentioned subx0 medium-loading”, France ranks before the end, with only Slovakia having the worst result, and Albania posing slightly better.

Thus, the search does not put France “to the end, along with Albania on working terms”, as Delgenes claim.

When we see only employees mentioning “of extreme charge” or the most severe conditions, France ranks 30th place, above other EU member states such as Croatia and Cyprus, as well as the United Kingdom.

Needs for Security and Health

However, data places France behind most other European countries when it comes to working conditions.

Data provided by Eurostat, the EU statistical office, confirms this trend.

According to recent estimates, only Malta ranks worse than France in the number of fatal accidents in the workplace.

These concerns have recently increased with the tragic death of five young workers at their workplace in just two and a half months. According to estimates, two people die each day at the workplace in France.

The French government is considering a proposal to punish employers responsible for problems in the workplace, both through fines and prosecutions, according to a document that French media have recently seen, including Le Monde. /Periscope/
