Information about the incidence and distribution of occupational diseases is essential to develop these occupational health interventions for the purpose of prevention [ 9- 12].
Based on a merger of workers' compensation data from the public fund Victorian Workcover Authority for the period 1996 1998 and denominator data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 1996 Census, the relative distribution of occupational injury risk in the Victorian construction industry has been calculated.
This in turn created and enforced new institutions that were consistent with the new distribution of occupational rents and economic structure.
This period of structural change inevitably altered the distribution of occupational rents against rural labour, which increased rural-urban inequality and exacerbated the deflationary tendencies of the transformation.
Distribution by occupational category was 68 (49%) professional or managerial, 29 (21%) intermediate, and 41 (30%) routine and/or manual.
We also observed a significant difference in the distribution of occupational radiation breast doses between controls who provided a blood spot card and controls who did not.
There were some differences between the groups in the distribution of occupational branches and insurance districts (see online appendix table 1).
We used descriptive statistics to examine the distribution of occupational characteristics of the U.S. workforce with and without paid sick leave.
Both EW and CA had significantly different distribution across occupational group; white-collared category having 26.1% EW and 42.8% CA, compared to 8.9%andd 26.1% of EW and CA, respectively, among unskilled/subsistence workers (p<0.0001).
The distribution of occupational complexity was similar in the high baseline cognition and slow decliners groups; those in the low baseline cognition and immediate decliners groups were more likely to have a non-intellectual job.
