text: In 2007, 2013 and 2020,**Eurostat**asked employed persons in its ad hoc surveys to the Labour Force 
  Survey (LFS) whether they had**‘… exposure to risk factors that can adversely affect mental well-**
  **being’**.10 In 2007 and 2013, the questions covered four items (time pressure and overload of work, 
  violence or threat of violence, harassment and bullying, other factors). In the 2020 survey,11 ‘Mental 
  well-being’ was operationalised by an additional four response options, resulting in a total of eight 
  options:12 
  
  *1. Severe time pressure or overload of work;*
  *2. Violence or threat of violence;*
  *3. Harassment or bullying;*
  *4. Poor communication or cooperation within the organisation;*
  *5. Having to deal with difficult customers, patients, pupils etc.;*
  *6. Job insecurity;*
  *7. Lack of autonomy, or lack of influence over the work pace or work processes; and*
  *8. Another significant risk factor for mental well-being.*
  
  Forty-five per cent of the employed persons reported being exposed to risk factors that can adversely 
  affect mental wellbeing. The country data vary significantly. Sweden, Greece and Luxembourg report 
  over two-thirds such exposures, and Germany, Lithuania and Czechia one-third or less.13
