CN&SC member Daniel Blanche received a new post-graduate degree in Social Sciences at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona (Catalonia). The master’s program in Sociology and Demography, with a clear research orientation, draws knowledge from both fields to examine key aspects of modern societies.
His thesis, titled “Psychosocial work factors and older worker’s health in Europe”, explores the associations between known stress factors present in the workplace and health status of the older workers population (those between 50 and 65 years old) in several European countries. The topic addresses the importance of worker’s health for work sustainability in view of increasingly ageing societies.
