The world of work is facing an ongoing pandemic and economic downturn with severe effects worldwide. Workers trapped in precarious employment (PE), both formal informal, are among those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper compares different energy-related investment options that can be implemented in a kraft pulp mill with potential steam surplus. The investigated include lignin extraction, electricity production, capturing of CO2 and black liquor gasification production or biofuels, here DME. are compared respect to annual net profit global emissions for future energy market scenarios. A further analysis how parameters such as policy instruments costs affect the technologies also is included....
Under-reporting of occupational injuries (OIs) among precariously employed workers in Sweden challenges effective surveillance OIs and targeted preventive measures.To estimate the magnitude under-reporting precarious non-precarious 2013.Capture-recapture methods were applied using national register records from a labour market insurance company. Employed 18-65 resident 2013 included study (n=82 949 OIs). Precarious employment was operationalised register, while injury severity constructed...
Precarious employment (PE) is a well-known social determinant of health and inequalities. However, as most previous studies have focused on physical mental well-being, less known about the social-related outcomes (ie, precarity) associated with precarious arrangements. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate whether PE precarity in working population 401 nonstandard employed workers Stockholm, Sweden (2016-2017). was assessed Swedish version Employment Scale (EPRES-Se) analyzed...

Objectives Precarious employment (PE) is a social determinant of poor health workers. However, this population usually lack sampling frame, making it challenging to identify the characteristics group.
