  • The social changes of recent years, which have significantly affected the avail-ability of jobs, can be a strong element of stress for working people. The present study has two objectives: to know if there are differences according to gender in work stress, and to analyze the connection between work stress, with the health and well-being of women and men. Statistically significant differences were found between women and men in the labor changes experienced over the last year, which was found to be greater in men. When analyzing the association between work stress and the health of women and men, it was found that, although the magnitude of the correlations was not high, and varied between the type of work stress and the health indicator that was considered, the workers with greater work stress had worse health, greater mental symptoms, lower self-esteem, less satisfaction in general with life, and less psychological well-being.
