Socio-economic inequalities in the association between diabetes and labour force participation in Germany: A repeated cross-sectional study
Diabetes-associated labour force participation shortfall mainly affects people with low socio-economic position, which indicates that this population subgroup not only carries a higher risk of diabetes, but also might be more strongly affected by its negative impact on productivity. Future studies aiming to quantify diabetes-associated productivity losses should take associations specific to socio-economic position into account.
