Summary
A new analysis cited by the Danish Employers' Association (DA) argues that age and gender are stronger predictors of stress risk than workplace factors, sparking debate about corporate responsibility for employee stress. Critics call the analysis misleading and insist that workplaces must be part of the solution. The analysis suggests young women face the highest risk of developing severe stress regardless of job type or education level.
