Abstract

Working life occupies a considerable part of life for most people and is therefore of great importance to public health. Besides work environment factors, employment conditions and the possibilty to balance work and leisure are of importance to individual health. Working environment conditions and the health of individuals are also important issues for the development and growth of organizations and regions. Health in working life is therefore a special target in several European and Swedish policy documents. In the Europe 2020 strategy it is pointed out that ensuring quality of work and employment is a core element for achieving competitiveness and sustainability. According to the community strategy on health and safety at work, good health at work helps improve public health in general and also the productivity and competitiveness of businesses. In a recent Swedish governmental report addressing a renewed work environment policy it is stated that the positive and health promoting effects of a work environment must be more visible. Furthermore, workplace problems of health and safety exact a high cost for social protection systems and therefore workers need to be provided with suitable working conditions if their general wellbeing is to be enhanced. Working environment and employment relations are also important when discussing social determinants for health and health equity in working life.

就职社论:现代工作生活和包容

对大多数人来说，工作生活占据了生活的相当一部分，因此对公共卫生非常重要。除了工作环境因素外，就业条件和平衡工作与休闲的可能性对个人健康也很重要。工作环境条件和个人健康也是组织和地区发展和成长的重要问题。因此，在欧洲和瑞典的一些政策文件中，工作生活中的健康是一个特别目标。在欧洲2020战略中指出，确保工作和就业质量是实现竞争力和可持续性的核心要素。根据关于工作场所健康和安全的社区战略，良好的工作场所健康有助于总体上改善公众健康，也有助于提高企业的生产力和竞争力。瑞典政府最近在一份关于更新工作环境政策的报告中指出，工作环境的积极和促进健康的作用必须更加明显。此外，工作场所的健康和安全问题使社会保护系统付出了高昂的代价，因此，如果要提高工人的总体福利，就需要为他们提供适当的工作条件。在讨论工作生活中健康和健康公平的社会决定因素时，工作环境和雇佣关系也很重要。(发布日期:2012年9月25日)引文:弱势群体与包容。http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/vgi.v3i0.19579
