Quality (and lack) of employment linked to mental health-related disability
A new article was published in the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health by Rebeka Balogh, Sudipa Sarkar, Chris Warhurst and colleagues at Interface Demography at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Karolinska Institute.
The article examines the link between types of employment trajectories and Belgium workers having a subsequent registered disability from mental health.
Results suggest a particularly increased risk for the unemployed and for workers in trajectories characterised by lower income, potential spells of unemployment and non-standard/subsidised employment.
