Abstract(s)
Since the establishment of the Gender and Work Technical Committee (TC) of the International Ergonomics
Association (IEA) in 2006, many researchers have addressed the role of sex and gender in ergonomics,
producing a great deal of new information. This special issue aims to present new ways of viewing women's
work and gender differences in work-related injury risks in an era of rapidly changing labour market
configurations. It offers innovative methods for integrating sex and gender into ergonomic analysis and for
designing work environments. It shares reflections on the intersection of vulnerabilities according to certain
identity markers. Finally, it contributes to establishing milestones standards of practice so that the
consideration of sex and gender can be more systematically modelled in ergonomics research and
interventions, for example in training ergonomists or in knowledge transfer initiatives.
