ELOSMET

Longitudinal Survey of the Observatory on Health and Well-Being at Work (ELOSMET)

To achieve its objectives, OSMET set up a major longitudinal study targeting 100 companies and 5,000 employees followed every year over a period of 5 years. The data thus collected will make it possible to distinguish, over time, the work and non-work factors that promote health and well-being among people in employment, and to isolate the factors specific to workers aged 50 and over, to workers at the beginning of their career, and, to immigrant workers.

Workers 50 years and older

With the population aging, there is pressure to keep people in the labor force longer, while seeking to delay the deterioration of their health in retirement. It is therefore important to establish, for example, how many years of healthy working conditions can slow the onset of health problems.

Early career employees

They are also a vulnerable group because they are more likely to experience symptoms of psychological distress, depression, and burnout. It appears relevant and necessary to act concretely to increase the chances that they will remain active longer in the labor market and reach retirement in a better state of health.

Immigrant workers

Societies affected by an aging population rely more heavily on immigration to meet their labor needs. However, knowledge about working conditions and management practices that promote or degrade the mental and physical health of immigrants is extremely limited.

The latest results from ELOSMET are disseminated by the FLASH Research
