abstract: 'Objective The study investigates the trends in health-related
|
|
|
|
inequalities in paid employment among men and women in different
|
|
|
|
educational groups in 26 countries in 5 European regions.
|
|
|
|
Design Individual-level analysis of repeated cross-sectional annual data
|
|
|
|
(2005-2014) from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions.
|
|
|
|
Setting 26 European countries in 5 European regions.
|
|
|
|
Participants 1 844 915 individuals aged 30-59 years were selected with
|
|
|
|
information on work status, chronic illness, educational background, age
|
|
|
|
and gender.
|
|
|
|
Outcome measures Absolute differences were expressed by absolute
|
|
|
|
differences in proportion in paid employment between participants with
|
|
|
|
and without a chronic illness, using linear regression. Relative
|
|
|
|
differences were expressed by prevalence ratios in paid employment,
|
|
|
|
using a Cox proportional hazard model. Linear regression was used to
|
|
|
|
examine the trends of inequalities.
|
|
|
|
Results Participants with a chronic illness had consistently lower
|
|
|
|
labour force participation than those without illnesses. Educational
|
|
|
|
inequalities were substantial with absolute differences larger within
|
|
|
|
lower educated (men 21\%-35\%, women 10\%-31\%) than within higher
|
|
|
|
educated (men 5\%-13\%, women 6\%-16\%). Relative differences showed
|
|
|
|
that low-educated men with a chronic illness were 1.4-1.9 times (women
|
|
|
|
1.3-1.8 times) more likely to be out of paid employment than
|
|
|
|
low-educated persons without a chronic illness, whereas this was 1.1-1.2
|
|
|
|
among high-educated men and women. In the Nordic, Anglo-Saxon and
|
|
|
|
Eastern regions, these health-related educational inequalities in paid
|
|
|
|
employment were more pronounced than in the Continental and Southern
|
|
|
|
region. For most regions, absolute health-related educational
|
|
|
|
inequalities in paid employment were generally constant, whereas
|
|
|
|
relative inequalities increased, especially among low-educated persons.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions Men and women with a chronic illness have considerable less
|
|
|
|
access to the labour market than their healthy colleagues, especially
|
|
|
|
among lower educated persons. This exclusion from paid employment will
|
|
|
|
increase health inequalities.'
