Employment quality and mortality in Canada
Our findings reinforce the need to move away from a binary view of jobs as either 'standard' or 'precarious', encouraging a more nuanced understanding of contemporary employment arrangements and their health-related consequences. Policy interventions that promote access to high-quality jobs and protect workers exposed to precarious employment may yield substantial improvements in population health, including longevity.
