Projected Impact on Labour Productivity Costs of Cancer-Related Premature Mortality in Europe 2018-2040.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To estimate the potential cost of lost labour productivity due to cancer-related premature mortality in Europe (EU-27 plus Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and United Kingdom) from 2018 to 2040.

Methods

Deaths and years of potential productive life lost due to 23 types of cancer were estimated for 2018-2040, for 31 European countries. The data were analysed by age groups, by sex and by year. Projected productivity costs were estimated by calculating gross earnings by country, gender and age group using the Human Capital Approach, adjusting for projected labour force participation and unemployment rates. Various data sources were used. Sensitivity analyses were conducted.

Results

Between 2018 and 2040, cancer is expected to cause around eight million premature deaths (
