Many PhD students in Sweden do not take holidays, according to a report from ST and SFS

A report from the trade union ST and Sweden’s united student unions, SFS, now shows, among other things, that every second PhD student does not take a holiday and every fourth person works overtime several days a week. Just over a third of the respondents state that they have difficulty thinking about anything other than their doctoral work, and almost one in five have sleep problems several times a week. The survey is based on a survey answered by almost 1000 PhD students at eight universities, among them the University of Gothenburg.
