OBJECTIVES:To examine the effects of ill health on selection into paid employment in European countries. METHODS:Five annual waves (1994-8) of the European Community Household Panel were used to select two populations: (1) 4446 subjects unemployed for at least 2 years, of which 1590 (36%) subjects found employment in the next year, and (2) 57 436 subjects employed for at least 2 years, of which 6191 (11%) subjects left the workforce in the next year because of unemployment, (early) retirement or having to take care of household. The influence of a perceived poor health and a chronic health problem on employment transitions was studied using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:An interaction between health and sex was observed, with women in poor health (odds ratio (OR) 0.4), men in poor health (OR 0.6) and women (OR 0.6) having less chance to enter paid employment than men in good health. Subjects with a poor health and low/intermediate education had the highest risks of unemployment or (early) retirement. Taking care of the household was only influenced by health among unmarried women. In most European countries, a poor health or a chronic health problem predicted staying or becoming unemployed and the effects of health were stronger with a lower national unemployment level. CONCLUSION:In most European countries, socioeconomic inequalities in ill health were an important determinant for entering and maintaining paid employment. In public health measures for health equity, it is of paramount importance to include people with poor health in the labour market.

目的:研究健康状况对欧洲国家选择有偿就业的影响。
方法:欧洲共同体家庭小组的五次年度调查(1994-8年)用于选择两个人口:(1)4446名失业至少两年的受试者,其中1590(36%)受试者在下一年找到工作, (2)57 436名受雇至少2年的对象,其中6191(11%)个受雇者由于失业,(提前)退休或不得不照顾家庭而在第二年离开工作岗位。使用逻辑回归分析研究了感知不到的健康状况和慢性健康问题对就业转变的影响。
结果:观察到健康与性别之间的相互作用,健康状况较差的女性(优势比(OR)0.4),健康状况较差的男性(OR 0.6)和女性(OR 0.6)的机会少于有良好状况的男性健康。健康状况差,教育水平低/中级的受试者失业或(早退休)的风险最高。照顾家庭仅受未婚妇女健康的影响。在大多数欧洲国家中,健康状况不佳或慢性健康问题预计会留下或变得失业,而且国民失业水平较低时,健康的影响更大。
结论:在大多数欧洲国家,健康状况不佳的社会经济不平等是进入和维持有酬就业的重要决定因素。在实现健康公平的公共卫生措施中,将健康状况不佳的人纳入劳动力市场至关重要。
