摘要:People who involuntarily leave the labor market due to health problems run the risk of entering into a viciouscircle as exiting the labor market can aggravate their initial health problems, especially if accompanied by otherforms of social exclusion. While this problem affects large parts of the population, especially during economicdownturns, it may particularly affect those with a weak initial labor market position, such as those with low so-cioeconomic status (SES). This unequal burden has been documented in an interesting paper in this issue of theScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health (1). The authors report findings from five European regionsshowing that lower-educated persons had increased risks of exit from paid employment due to health problemscompared to those with higher education levels.
