abstract: 'BackgroundPrecarious work is an increasingly common characteristic of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industrialized labor markets that can widen health inequities,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially among disadvantaged workforce segments. Study objectives are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to compare precarious employment in workers with and without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities, and to examine the modifying effect of disability in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationships between age, job tenure and precarious
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work.MethodsEmployed Canadians with (n=901) and without disabilities (n
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=901) were surveyed on exposure to precarious working conditions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Information on age and job tenure were collected from respondents along
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with sociodemographic, health and work context details. Multivariable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
logistic models examined the association between disability and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precarious work. Also, multigroup probit models examined precarious work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for young (18-35yrs), middle-aged (36-50yrs) and older adults (>50yrs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and job tenure and was stratified by participants with and without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities.ResultsAlmost equal proportions of young, middle-aged and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
older participants were recruited. Mean job tenure of participants was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.5years (SD=9.0). Close to one-third of participants reported working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precariously. At the multivariable level, a disability was not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with working precariously. However, multigroup modelling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicated that disability was a significant effect-modifier. Older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adults with a disability had a 1.88 times greater odds of reporting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precarious work when compared to young adults (OR=1.88, 95\%CI 1.19,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.98). When reporting a disability, longer job tenure was related to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.95 times lower odds of precarious work (OR=0.95 95\%CI 0.93, 0.98).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The relationship between age and job tenure was not significant for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those not reporting a disability.DiscussionPrecarious work has the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
potential to affect workers with and without disabilities. For those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with a disability, being an older adult and/or a new worker can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contribute to a greater likelihood of being employed precariously.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Policies and programs can be recommended to address precarious working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions and related health inequities for people with disabilities
