Several studies have reported health or safety risk of temporary agency workers (TAW). Since most of the studies are just cross-sectional studies, we intended to identify the risk of occupational injury in TAW, using longitudinal study design.
The Korea Health Panel 2009-2018 data were used in the study. For the statistical analysis of this study, we used a panel logit model to identify the risk of occupational injury in TAW compared to direct contract workers (DCW).
There was no significant difference in risk of occupational injury between TAW and DCW among the overall population (adjusted OR 0.920, 95% CI 0.600-1.411). However, there was a significant increase in occupational injury in women (adjusted OR 2.134, 95% CI 1.092-4.170) and the "19-34" age group (adjusted OR 2.744, 95% CI 1.103-6.825) of TAW.
This study provides evidence for vulnerable groups such as women and younger age groups in the relationship between TAW and occupational injury.
多项研究报告了临时工（TAW）的健康或安全风险。由于大多数研究只是横断面研究，我们旨在使用纵向研究设计来确定 TAW 职业伤害的风险。
本研究使用了 2009-2018 年韩国健康面板数据。为了进行本研究的统计分析，我们使用面板逻辑回归模型来确定 TAW 与直接合同工（DCW）相比职业伤害的风险。
在总体人群中，TAW 与 DCW 之间的职业伤害风险无显著差异（调整后的 OR 0.920，95%CI 0.600-1.411）。然而，女性（调整后的 OR 2.134，95%CI 1.092-4.170）和“19-34”岁年龄组（调整后的 OR 2.744，95%CI 1.103-6.825）的 TAW 职业伤害显著增加。
这项研究为 TAW 与职业伤害之间的关系中的女性和年轻群体等弱势群体提供了证据。
