Abstract: This article deals with work intensification in French manufacturing industry over the last twenty years. The extent and the various forms of work intensification are analyzed in the different industries. Three main forms of work intensification are identified : Taylorist forms, incident-driven forms and market-driven forms. The analysis reveals the persistence of Taylorist forms, the rise of incident-driven forms linked to the development of automation and the extension of market-driven forms linked to the diffusion of just-in-time production. The paper examines the role played by the age structure of the workforce in the relationship between work intensification and the evolution of employment. Then it studies the contribution of work intensification to the increase in labor productivity. Finally it explores the relationships being established between forms of work intensification and the evolution of economic profitability.
