Impact of interventions and policies on prolonging working life in good health: an international study

欧洲各国政府制定了政策，让工人留任到老年，但许多工人因疾病、残疾或健康状况不佳而比预期提前离开工作岗位。尽管这一现象具有社会影响，但我们对可能鼓励工人更长时间工作的卫生干预措施和政策以及这些干预措施的经济成本知之甚少。该项目旨在确定能够通过减少健康问题的负面后果或通过改善工人的整体健康来帮助工人维持就业的政策和干预措施。反过来，该项目还研究了就业和退休政策对保持良好健康的影响。该项目的重点是工作场所干预措施、健康促进方案以及支持有健康问题的工人继续从事带薪工作的立法和政策；以及防止健康问题发展或恶化的政策。该项目还研究了延长不同社会群体工作寿命的干预措施和政策的成本效益。该项目将提供关键证据，说明国家政策对延长工作生涯和劳动力健康的影响。它还将展示工作场所和卫生干预措施对就业时间和工人健康的潜在好处。

European governments have developed policies to keep workers stay in employment until older age, yet many workers leave work earlier than expected due to illness, disability or poor health. Despite the societal implications of this phenomenon, we know little about the health interventions and policies that could encourage workers to stay longer in work, as well as the economic costs of these interventions. This project aims to identify the policies and interventions that can help workers maintain employment by either diminishing the negative consequences of health problems or by improving the overall health of workers. In turn, the project also examines the impact of employment and retirement policies on maintaining good health. The project focuses on workplace interventions, health promotion programmes, and legislation and policies that support workers with health problems to remain in paid employment; and policies to prevent the development or aggravation of health problems. The project also studies the cost-effectiveness of interventions and policies for prolonging working lives in different social groups. The project will provide key evidence on the consequences of national policies on prolonging working careers and on the health of the workforce. It will also demonstrate the potential benefits of workplace and health interventions on the length of employment and worker's health.
