Under-reporting of non-fatal occupational injuries among precarious and non-precarious workers in Sweden
Conclusions
This is the first register-based study to empirically demonstrate in Sweden that under-reporting of OIs is 50% higher among precariously employed workers. OIs under-reporting may represent unrecognised injuries that especially burden precariously employed workers as financial, health and social consequences shift from the employer to the employee.
