Abstract
Results are reported of a survey on the effects of shiftwork on women and men working rotating shifts under comparable job conditions. Discriminant analyses revealed that gender-related effects of shiftwork could not be found. However, off-the-job work stress, e.g. a gender-related unequal division of domestic duties, clearly differentiated between women and men and the presence or absence of children in the house. The ‘double burden’ for women, in particular for those with children, did not result in more severe psychosocial or subjective health impairments.Keywords
