1. What type of workers are the most likely to experience job insecurity, workplace stress and dangerous working conditions? See end of page 67.
2. Health risks are created in the workplace as a result of the existence of what conditions? See page 68 for the list.
3. What is the definition of high job strain and what health conditions are linked to it?
4. Go to this website. https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=82335
It contains cross-national data on job strain. Make sure age, sex and education are set to “Total”. Select the time period 2015 (latest year for which data are available unfortunately). What three countries had the highest percentages of job strain in 2015? What three countries had the lowest percentages of job strain? The percentages are provided in a single column located to the right of country names.
(Note: The OECD database is useful for comparative research or just learning about the labour market dynamics of different countries. In case this database is of interest to you, there are many other datasets/indicators, besides job strain, which can be accessed via the left hand side of the screen (e.g., earnings, employment protection, labour force statistics, trade unions and collective bargaining, etc.).
5. Studies (from outside our textbook) have found manual labour is linked to greater risk of early death than those with more sedentary jobs. Do you think workers who are employed in high manual labour, high stress and high risk working environments are compensated for the toll it takes on their minds and bodies? In other words, do you think their job earnings and/or benefits compensate them for the wear and tear of their jobs on their minds and bodies? Explain your yes or no answer.

13. What are some criticisms of the IRS? See page 76.

Jackson, Andrew and Mark Thomas, Work and Labour in Canada: Critical Issues (2017), Chapter 7
15. Describe/summarize three general disability trends/statistics. See pages 148 or 149.
16. Describe/summarize five employment related disability trends/statistics. See pages 150-151.
