Study title

Several special programs had been on this topic, for instance from the years 1991 (Mikrozensus MZ9103) and 1987 (Mikrozensus MZ8703). In connection with the ongoing debate on the flexibilisation of Working Time more detailed information on working- and extra hours as well as weekend- and shift work is needed. In addition to the main topic “Working Time” data on social insurance-relevant aspects (marginal employment especially of women and the new contract for work and labour regulations) are an important basis for ongoing public (political) debate. There are questions on teleworking and VDU working due to the changes at the work place or of the work-organisation. One question is also on the general question of working at home. A question on nursing leave was also included, although there is practically no connection with the other parts of the program, due its importance for the question program.
