Are Quebecers More Stressed Out at Work than Others? An Investigation into the Differences between Quebec and the Rest of Canada in Level of Work Stress
|
| Abstract |
The authors note that work stress is costly and decreases productivity. They found that Quebecers are much more likely to report high work stress than other Canadians, and English Quebecers are more stressed than French Quebecers and English-speaking people in the rest of Canada. Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey spanning 2003–2012, the authors study the determinants of reported work stress. They conclude that chronic disease, mental health, and lifestyle choices all contribute to work stress. They found that 37.8 percent of Quebecers reported high work stress, compared with 28.7 percent in Ontario, and 26.4 percent in the rest of Canada; compared to the rest of Canada, fewer people are legally married in Quebec (37.1 percent), and many more people live in a common-law marital relationship in that province (29.1 percent) relative to the other jurisdictions in Canada; average personal income and hours worked are lower in Quebec than in the rest of Canada; and compared with the rest of Canada, residents of Quebec are relatively more likely to consume alcohol regularly, are more inactive, and have a lower sense of belonging to their communities.
