Hi - your question is rather broad because there are so many types of biologists in all three countries and I'm not sure what you mean by "conditions" . Depending on job work in the field, in the lab, in private industry, for NGOs and government agencies. The work can be computer-based, lab-based or may involve long periods of fieldwork.

Generally biologists have secondary education qualifications and so are seen as "professionals" in the three countries you name. Salaries are usually pretty good but not  massive (i.e. less than medial doctors, lawyers etc) so most biologists are comfortable but not rich (relative to US/UK/Canadian standards).

Have a look at our careers section for more info that may be relevent to you and do post again if you have more specific questions we can help with
