Abstract
The importance of preventing work-related disability.
Highlights
This is the published version of a paper published in Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health
Recent articles have addressed a variety of work-related factors that have increased the risk of disability pension [3,4,5,6]
Temporary employment predicted longer duration of prolonged sickness absence (4–12 months), especially among the lower educated and older workers, but had no influence on onset and recurrence. This finding raises important questions about the current labor market: Is there sufficient institutional support for temporary employees? Are employers less willing to hire temporary employees with depressive symptoms? Is there less access and lower quality of rehabilitation programs for temporary employees? These questions urgently need answers given the rapid growth in flexible labor contracts in most countries
