What the paper says

Occupational ApplicationsThirty-four percent of the Dutch working population work in physically demanding jobs, and this proportion remained relatively stable over time. Self-reported physical work demands were higher in those with a lower (compared to higher) education level. Specific self-reported physical work demands (substantial force exertion, repetitive movements, uncomfortable body postures, and vibrations) differ between genders, age groups, and occupational sectors. Our findings show that physical work demands remain prevalent in the Dutch working population, indicating the necessity for a better understanding of the health effects of these work demands and occupational interventions and policies targeting these work demands. Our results identify specific groups on which such interventions and policies could be focused.
