Precarious employment and occupational injuries in Sweden between 2006 and 2014: a register-based study

Abstract: BackgroundPrecarious employment (PE) has been suggested as a risk factor for occupational injuries (OIs). However, several issues such as under-reporting and time at risk pose obstacles to obtaining unbiased estimates of riskObjectiveTo investigate if PE is a risk factor for OIs in Sweden.MethodsThis register-based study included employed workers aged 18–65, resident in Sweden between 2006 and 2014. PE was operationalised as a multidimensional construct (score) and by its five items (contract insecurity, contr… Show more

“…When Berdahl and McQuillan4 adjust estimates for individual characteristics among workers including industry, they find no higher risk of injuries for unionised workers. The varying risk of OIs between occupations and industries are not accounted for in Kreshpaj et al ’s1 analyses, and might explain some of the findings. Detailed knowledge about how precarious employment is distributed across the working life could help to explain the findings from the register data.…”

“… 3 30 Using the LISA register, each of these five components was individually scored, as well as summed up to a total index ranging from −9 to 2. 30 Previous established cut-off points for PER, SSER and SER 31 were used in the current study. Individuals scoring less than −3 were classified as PER, individuals scoring between −3 and −1 were classified as SSER, and individuals scoring ≥0 were classified as SER.…”
