Working conditions and health inequalities, evidence and policy implications

In this final scientific report of research accomplished within Work Package 3 of DRIVERS (‘Work and Health Inequities, including Policy Recommendations’) we demonstrate how the three main project aims have been accomplished. These aims are:

1. to establish an updated knowledge base on associations of work, social inequality, and health;
2. to synthesise current evidence on feasibility and outcomes of work and health-related interventions at different levels, by critically evaluating applied methodologies and by comparing the methods of improving intervention effectiveness; and
3. to develop and apply a theoretical model linking national labour and social policies to the quality of work and their effects on unequal health.
