QUAND LE TRAVAIL DÉTRUIT ET TUE

For one in two French employees, work is primarily a source of psychological distress, and 17% of them even report experiencing high levels of distress. And yet, rhetoric about these French people who supposedly don't want to work, about these people who should be put back to work, abounds in the media and political spheres. But the statistical reality is quite different. Not only do most people work, but for most of them, it is, at the very least, a source of stress. For example, 61% of the French workforce feels stressed. Another study from 2023 shows that 40% of employees in France report suffering. As a result, the number of burnouts has skyrocketed in recent years. Lack of meaning, pressure, work overload, mistreatment: for many people, going to work is an ordeal. But that's not all; for some employees, going to work is simply risking their lives. The number of people who die at their workplace in France continues to rise. In 2023, 759 people lost their lives in France as a result of workplace accidents. And this figure doesn't include the 332 deaths that occurred during commuting accidents or the 196 due to occupational illnesses, bringing the total to 1,287 work-related deaths for that year alone. On average, two people die every day in France because of their work. And these figures are likely underestimated, as they exclude civil servants, farmers, the self-employed, and other categories of workers. The sectors most affected are construction, transportation, and maintenance. Manual laborers are five times more likely to die at work than managers. Young people under 25 are particularly vulnerable, especially those with less than a year of experience. So how can work be so destructive? How did we get to this point? And above all, what does this situation reveal about our economic and social structure? Find out in this in-depth program on work on Blast.
