inequalities. This study analyzed the effects of social status on both

|
|
|
|
|
|
work environments and health outcomes.
|
|
|
|

|
Methods: The study sample consisted of 27,598 wage employees aged 15
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years and older from among the Korean Working Condition Survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants in 2011. Work environments included atypical work, physical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risks, ergonomic risks, work demands, work autonomy, social supports,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and job rewards. Health outcomes comprised general health, health and

injury. Multivariable logistic-regression models were used to identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the associations between social status and work environments and health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Employees in the demographically vulnerable group had lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational status compared with their counterparts. Low social status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was largely related to adverse work environments. Especially, precarious
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and manual labor occupation were associated with both adverse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work environments and poor health outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Precarious and manual workers should take precedence in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational health equity policies and interventions. Their cumulative

|
|
|

|

|
vulnerability, which is connected to demographics, occupational status,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adverse work environments, or poor health outcomes, can be improved

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through a multilevel approach such as labor market, organizations, and
