This paper estimates the incidence and costs of teenage occupational injuries by severity in the United States.
Existing estimates of occupational injury costs are adapted for the teenage population. Incidence estimates are constructed using data from the US 1993 Annual Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness and the 1993 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries combined with incidence data from the National Health Interview Survey.
In 1993, an estimated 371,000 teenagers were injured in the workplace, accounting for 4.2% of all occupational injuries. These injuries cost $5 billion, approximately 3% of the total of injury costs involving teenagers.
Teenagers appear to account for a larger share of the total number of occupational injuries relative to their presence in the employed workforce, but a lower share of the costs of such injuries.
本文估算了美国青少年职业伤害按严重程度划分的发生率及成本。
现有的职业伤害成本估算适用于青少年人群。发生率估算是利用1993年美国职业伤害与疾病年度调查、1993年致命职业伤害普查的数据，以及国家健康访谈调查的发生率数据构建的。
1993年，估计有37.1万名青少年在工作场所受伤，占所有职业伤害的4.2%。这些伤害造成了50亿美元的损失，约占涉及青少年的伤害总成本的3%。
相对于青少年在就业劳动力中的占比，他们在职业伤害总数中所占份额似乎更大，但在这类伤害成本中所占份额较低。
