Abstract

The working conditions in Switzerland's healthcare sector are currently a cause for concern. Staff shortages, high workloads and irregular hours can lead to burnout and health problems, resulting in early departure from the profession. Several databases can be used to gain insight into this issue. 

This presentation aims to explore the potential of data from the Swiss Labour Force Survey (SAKE/ESPA), particularly the core module which contains in-depth information on working time, as well as the European module which focuses on accidents at work and other work-related health issues.
