Adverse employment histories and health functioning: the CONSTANCES study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With changing employment histories in European labour markets, occupational health research needs to be supplemented by an approach that integrates adverse characteristics of entire employment histories, in terms of precarious, discontinued and disadvantaged employment careers.
