text: **3.6 Conclusions**
  The exposure**to psychosocial risks**is increasing, with mental health prevalence still emerging. Major 
  work-related exposures have grown in the past 15 to 25 years that is, time pressure, difficult clients, 
  longer working hours and poor communication. There is also some evidence that countries with over- 
  average employment in sectors like health and care or other human and client-oriented services 
  (education, social work, tourism, entertainment) suffer from longer working hours and more mental 
  burden. The northern countries are at the top of the countries with highest mental burden. The southern 
  countries have a high share of specific psychosocial risks related to work in tourism and entertainment, 
  characterised by atypical working times and issues with difficult clients.
