Abstract

Unfavorable working conditions are common in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, a region with high mortality and morbidity. This chapter reviews the evidence related to the association between work-related social and psychosocial factors, such as unemployment, job insecurity, long working hours, or work stress, and health outcomes in the region and investigates whether these factors could contribute to an increased risk of death and other health outcomes among working population in countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
