Projektbeskrivning:

The overall objective of the project is to synthesize knowledge from published studies with new results on the effect of the working environment on transitions between work, sickness absence (SA), temporary and permanent exit from the workforce, as well as on healthy working life expectancy, utilizing nationwide register and survey data from four Nordic countries. The information generated during the project will form the Nordic Work Disability Database (NWDD). We aim 1) to identify occupations and occupational groups in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden with excessive SA, temporary and permanent exit from paid employment, and substantially reduced healthy working life expectancy; 2) to synthesize international, evidence-based knowledge on work-related factors associated with work participation and exit from paid employment with the information from the NWDD and 3) to identify working conditions that need to be prioritized in workplace interventions to enhance work participation and
