Abstract

Most research into the relationship between health and work has been limited to ad hoc studies: few studies have been based on large‐sample surveys directed to the general population. We propose here approaches to developing work‐related health indicators from currently collected National Labour Force Surveys, in particular the Italian Labour Force Survey‐ISTAT. Four potential indicators are proposed: temporary reduction in working ability (TRWA), continued reduction in working ability (CRWA), permanent inability to work (PIW), and exclusion from the active population (EAP). Our analysis indicates that CRWA and EAP are highest among manual workers, consistent with the well‐described relationship between job class and health status. This approach provides an opportunity to monitor the relative health status of workers on a continuing basis using readily available, population‐based data and to conduct additional analyses on the basis of occupational stratification.
