Working conditions and the health of workers: An elaboration of a responsible prevention ratio
利用2005年法国就业调查数据，构建负责任预防指数，结合工作条件严重程度与风险预防得分，分析其对工人因健康原因停止工作的影响，发现预防能改善健康且存在最优企业社会责任支出水平。
The coincidence between trends in the decline of workers’ health and the increasing practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seems a paradox. Using data from the French Employment Survey 2005, in this article the authors develop an index of responsible prevention by combining a score of severity of working conditions with a score of risk prevention at the workplace. The authors then explore the influence of this variable on the propensity to stop working for medical reasons. The results show that prevention increases workers’ health status and suggest the existence of an optimal level of social CSR expenditure.
