It is important to know whether working time schemes offer, following the adoption of the 1990 ILO Night Work Convention, a better use of the actual knowledge in moderating the adverse effects of shiftwork for both sexes. The last two national studies on a representative sample, about working conditions in France (1991, 1998), show an increase of night work among female nursing staff. Long hours of work are becoming more common for nurses. The percentage of women health care workers not working the same number of days every week increased, with work weeks of 7 days or more. Few positive aspects exist such as a reduction in the proportion of those having to work 17 Sundays or more and a reduction of shifts beginning before 7 a.m. for female nurses. New negotiations, starting in 2001, should be an opportunity for improvements.
重要的是要了解，在1990年国际劳工组织《夜间工作公约》通过之后，工作时间方案是否能更好地利用实际知识来减轻轮班工作对两性的不利影响。最近两项针对法国工作条件的具有代表性样本的全国性研究（1991年、1998年）表明，女性护理人员中的夜班工作有所增加。长时间工作在护士中变得越来越普遍。每周工作天数不同的女性医护人员比例有所增加，工作周长达7天或更长。几乎没有什么积极方面，比如必须工作17个或更多周日的人员比例有所下降，以及女性护士早上7点之前开始的轮班有所减少。从2001年开始的新谈判应该是一个改进的契机。
