Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Concern about possible adverse reproductive effects of employment reflects the increasing participation of pregnant women in the labor force. Although the literature on the effect of employment-related physical activity on pregnancy outcome is substantial, no general consensus has been reached. A growing number of studies, however, suggests that prolonged standing and long working hours may pose a risk to pregnancy. The provision of maternity benefits varies greatly between the United States and European countries. Current modifications of working conditions for both pregnant and non-pregnant women differ even among European countries. |
