From a study by a number of academic researchers, it appears that 55% of Belgian
employees feel work is the main source of stress in their lives. After that come
financial, personal and family problems, and unemployment . Almost half feel that
stress has increased In the last two years . A third would change jobs given the
chance. Men feel more stress,(partlcularly In the financial sector) . The main
causes: too much work for too few people and problems with superiors . The result
Is that 25% of Belgians are damotivated and do not enjoy their work. 20% of sick
leave is due to stress .

An international study by ARISE (an association of researchers specialising In the
science of enjoyment) on 5000 people shows that stress is the most important
stress factor for half of them. According to the study, chatting with colleagues,
coffee breaks, a cigarette, snack or a variation in the work are the most common
anti-stress remedies in Belgium . However, there Is pressure to do away with
"relaxants" like smoking or eating snacks . ARISE defends people's right to make
use of legal forms of enjoyment that can Improve their quality of life and make
them happier .

+ new Item on sponsoring by tobacco and alcohol Industry :
Claude Javesu admits It might raise suspicion, but counters it: "if you judge all the
qualifications of these people who are part of ARISE and knowing the university
ethics I do not have the slightest suspicion -otherwise I would not be here- that
they are paid directly or I do not question their laboratory research . As for as their
sociological research Is concerned I have a certain reticence but that is because I
do not like this kind of Interview by phone which I think Is not representative
enough."
