"Par diverses mesures de politiques publiques, notamment la réduction / crédit d'impôt pour l'emploi d'un salarié à domicile, la France soutient depuis plus de deux décennies le secteur des services à la personne. Cet article réalise une comparaison critique des évaluations de ces mesures afin d'en donner la vision la plus globale possible. Il en ressort que les hausses successives du plafond des dépenses éligibles ont été moins efficaces en termes de coût public par emploi créé que la mise en place initiale de la réforme, où le plafond était relativement bas. D'un point de vue redistributif, les services répondant à des besoins sociaux (garde d'enfant, aide à la dépendance) ne représentent qu'une part minoritaire des sommes allouées par la subvention fiscale, qui bénéficie principalement aux ménages les plus aisés."

"The rise to prominence of the service sector - heralded over half a century ago as the great hope for the twenty-first century - has come to fruition. In many cases, employment in the service sector now outnumbers that in manufacturing sectors, and it is accepted that in all developed countries, the service sector is the only one in which employment will grow in future. The reasons for this is the subject of much controversy and debate, the outcomes of which are not merely of academic interest but of decisive importance for economic policy and the quality of working and living conditions in future.



In order to examine these various arguments, research teams from eight European countries worked together for three years on a comparative study of the evolution of service sector employment in EU member states. They also investigated working and employment conditions in five very different service industries (banking, retailing, hospitals, IT services and care of the elderly) in a number of countries, and the results of their research are presented in this informative new collection, of interest to students academics and researchers involved in all aspects of industrial economics."

"We use the literature reporting prevalence and aetiology of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in first responders as a catalyst to discuss for organisations the policy implications for prevention and intervention of psychiatric morbidity. We searched PubMed and Google to identify studies and reports of mental health and behavioural problems in occupations including police, fire, and emergency service workers. The prevalence of PTSD ranged from 6 per cent to 32 per cent. Biological markers of PTSD, such as neuroendocrine activity, appear less useful than psychological markers, such as levels of hostility and self-efficacy, to predict PTSD. Prevalence of PTSD was generally less than that found among victims themselves, but higher than general community prevalence. Theoretically, if prevention and intervention strategies were working effectively, there should be a minimal rate of psychiatric morbidity attributable to these individuals' workplaces. Against this background, there is a case for routine screening on an annual basis for those at risk."
