Abstract |
Recent research documents the consequences of workplace injuries, and the resulting time off work, on the mental health and quality of workers and their families. This study examines several social and economic consequences of workplace injury for an entire provincial population of injured workers and their families, using a linked administrative database of health care and social service records. Given prior evidence of such consequences, there is an important issue of fair compensation to workers and cost transfer from the workers' compensation system to health care plans and social security. The study provides crucial evidence to address this. |
