Association between working hours, income, and work-related injury among freelancers in Japan: a cross-sectional study
Long working hours, particularly exceeding 60 h/wk, are associated with a significantly higher risk of work-related injuries among freelancers. Additionally, 2 high-risk groups were identified based on the combination of working hours and income levels: those with relatively low incomes, and high-income earners who also worked extended hours.
