Working Safer or Just Working Longer? The Impact of an Aging Workforce on Occupational Injury and Illness Costs (University of California, Berkeley; Frank Neuhauser, Center for the Study of Social Insurance, Project funded under contract with the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers’ Compensation (California)). This report looks at aging workforce. It also finds that “the risk of occupational injury is 20% to 50% higher for women in the same job working the same hours as men.” See report here.
