the effects of Employment Conditions on smoking status and smoking intensity the analysis of korean labor income panel 8th 10th wave
PLOS ONE, 2013Co-Authors: Youn Jung, Juhwan Oh, Ichiro KawachiAbstract:Background The neoliberal policies and its socioeconomic consequences in Korea have made Employment Conditions insecure and affected employees' health as well. Methods and Findings To examine the association between Employment condition and smoking status, we selected male respondents aged 20–59 that participated in all of the 8th–10th wave of Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) which is a nationally representative data. Precarious working was significantly associated with smoking compared to standard working even after adjusting for socioeconomic indicators and self rated health status. After controlling for overall life satisfaction, the odds ratio of smoking among precarious workers decreased, but it was still marginally significant (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 0.99 to 2.07). A relation between precarious working and heavy smoking was also significant. Precarious working was associated with a decreased likelihood of quitting smoking, while it was not significant any more after adjusting for overall satisfaction on life. Precarious work was also related to a higher likelihood of relapse among former smokers, but was not significant after adjusting for other confounders. Conclusions Precarious workers were more likely to be smokers and heavy smokers than standard workers. UnEmployment is also a significant risk factor for decreased quitting and smoking relapse. However, insecure Employment was an even more consistent determinant of current smoking behavior than unEmployment.

s05 5 Employment Conditions as determinants of psychological wellbeing among workers in chile association of temporary Employment job insecurity and Employment precariousness with job satisfaction and mental health
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Alejandra Vives, Joan Benach, Francisca GonzálezAbstract:Introduction Transformations in the world of work have led to a growth of temporary Employment, job instability and perceived of job insecurity, and an overall precarisation of Employment relations. In Chile, transformations in Employment relations go back to the 1979 Plan Nacional, but scarce epidemiologic research has addressed the effects on psychological wellbeing. This study assesses the associations between different measures of insecure or precarious Employment Conditions and the job satisfaction and mental health of workers in Chile. Methods Subsample of 2679 formally employed workers from the first Chilean Work, Employment health and quality of life survey (2009–2010). Prevalence rate ratios were estimated via Poisson regressions for each exposure (perceived job and income insecurity; self-reported job instability; temporary contract; Employment precariousness (Employment Precariousness scale) and outcome (job satisfaction and mental health (GHQ-12)). Age, education, occupation and previous unEmployment were included as potential confounders. Results Job satisfaction increased slightly in women with temporary contracts, decreased significantly with job insecurity in men and with income insecurity, self-reported job instability and Employment precariousness in both women and men. Mental health showed no significant association with type of contract, decreased significantly with job insecurity, especially in men, and with income insecurity and self-reported job instability in women and men, and, in a graded manner, with Employment precariousness in women. Conclusion As elsewhere, in Chile poor Employment Conditions are associated with decreased worker wellbeing. However, well-known exposure measures such as type of contract showed no associations, and job insecurity exhibited less consistent „associations than self-reported Employment stability. The multidimensional Employment precariousness scale demonstrated associations only for women. Results highlight the importance of Employment Conditions for workers’ psychological wellbeing and of the theoretical and operational approach to their measurement for occupational health research.

introduction to the who commission on social determinants of health Employment Conditions network emconet study with a glossary on Employment relations
International Journal of Health Services, 2010Co-Authors: Joan Benach, Carles Muntaner, Vilma Sousa Santana, Orielle Solar, Michael QuinlanAbstract:Although the Conditions and power relations of Employment are known to be crucial health determinants for workers and their families, the nature of these relations and their effects on health have yet to be fully researched. Several types of Employment—precarious Employment in developed countries; informal sectors, child labor, slavery, and bonded labor in developing countries—expose workers to risky working Conditions. Hazardous work and occupation-related diseases kill approximately 1,500 workers, globally, every day. Growing scientific evidence suggests that particular Employment Conditions, such as job insecurity and precarious Employment, create adverse health effects; yet the limited number of studies and the poor quality of their methods prevent our understanding, globally, the complexity of employer-employee power relations, working Conditions, levels of social protections, and the reality of Employment-related health inequalities. This article introduces a special section on Employment-related he...

Six Employment Conditions and health inequalities: a descriptive overview.
International journal of health services : planning administration evaluation, 2010Co-Authors: Joan Benach, Vilma Sousa Santana, Orielle Solar, Montserrat Vergara, Christophe Vanroelen, Antía Castedo, Javier Ramos, Carles MuntanerAbstract:Standard full-time permanent Employment—providing a minimal degree of stability, income sustainability, workers' empowerment, and social protection—has declined in the high-income countries, while it was never the norm in the rest of the world. Consequently, work is increasingly affecting population health and health inequalities, not only as a consequence of harmful working Conditions, but also because of Employment Conditions. Nevertheless, the health consequences of Employment Conditions are largely neglected in research. The authors describe five types of Employment Conditions that deviate from standard full-time permanent Employment—precarious Employment, unEmployment, informal Employment, forced Employment or slavery, and child labor—and their health consequences, from a worldwide perspective. Despite obvious problems of measurement and international comparability, the findings show that, certainly in the low-income countries, these Conditions are largely situated in informality, denying any possibl...
