Work Ability in Young Adult Survivors (WAYS WF-10217): Documenting Labor Force Participation, Occupation, and Educational Attainment Following Cancer Treatment
While YAs in this sample generally demonstrated higher employment and educational attainment rates than the national average, those with lower educational levels face greater challenges in work ability. Workplace accommodations may only be provided to individuals experiencing the greatest deficits in work ability and productivity. This study highlights the need for additional data regarding workplace accommodations to enhance work ability and mitigate productivity loss among YAs.
