The severity of non-fatal work-related injuries has seldom been examined among young workers. We estimated the extent and distribution of workdays lost due to non-fatal work injuries using compensation data.
Data are from the Brazilian Institute of Social Insurance, for 2006. The study population is comprised of all insured workers of age 16-24. Descriptive statistics reflect workdays lost due to health-related disability, according to sex, age group, wage, and trade.
Out of 4.8 million insured workers ages 16-24 years, we estimated 1,282,940 workdays lost. We observed a larger number of median workdays lost among males age 20-24 in retail and service trades (83 days) and among 16-19-year-old females in the agriculture/fish/forestry/cattle (142 days).
Young workers experience a heavy burden of work-related injuries. Disability workdays may compromise school attendance and performance. Other potential impacts affect productivity and social insurance costs.
非致命性工作相关伤害的严重程度在年轻工人中很少被研究。我们使用赔偿数据估计了非致命性工作伤害导致的工作日损失程度和分布。
数据来自巴西社会保险研究所，时间为 2006 年。研究人群由所有年龄在 16-24 岁的参保工人组成。根据性别、年龄组、工资和行业，描述性统计反映了因健康相关残疾而导致的工作日损失。
在 480 万年龄在 16-24 岁的参保工人中，我们估计有 1282940 个工作日损失。我们观察到，在零售业和服务业中，20-24 岁的男性以及在农业/渔业/林业/畜牧业中 16-19 岁的女性，中位数工作日损失较多（分别为 83 天和 142 天）。
年轻工人经历着严重的工作相关伤害负担。残疾工作日可能会影响到学生的出勤率和表现。其他潜在影响会影响生产力和社会保险成本。
