Abstract Background A large number of studies have found job control to be consistently associated with an increased risk of disability pension. However, most previous studies have measured job control by self-report, introducing possible reporting bias inflating the risk estimates. Furthermore, previous studies have not accounted for the potential selection of individuals with pre-existing risk factors for disability pensioning into low control jobs. Methods We analyzed data from the nationwide register-based Danish Work Life Course Cohort (DAWCO; n = 960,562 with approx. 6 million person-years). We measured job control annually by a job exposure matrix, based on a scale of five self-reported items from The Danish Work Environment Cohort Study, and disability pension using registers on public transfer payments. To account for potential selection into occupations with lower levels of job control, we included numerous life course confounders, including parental socioeconomic position and psychiatric and somatic diagnoses. Results Employees in jobs with lower levels of job control had increased risk of disability pensioning. The association attenuated after adjustment for confounders but was not explained by selection into job groups with lower levels of job control (hazard ratio: 1.16 (95% CI: 1.03-1.31). Conclusions Our findings suggest that lower levels of job control are associated with an increased risk of disability pension, and that this association is explained by neither reporting bias nor a selection of individuals with an increased risk of disability pensioning into job groups with lower levels of job control. Key messages Lower levels of job control appear associated with an increased risk of disability pension independent of life course confounders. Further research is needed on preventive measures in occupations with low levels of job control.

Prospective Association

Abstract Background Previous studies have found low job control to be associated with a higher risk of disability pension (DP). Most studies have measured job control only at one time-point, and there is a lack of knowledge regarding the role of exposure duration. This study examines the prospective association between job control and DP measuring exposure both cumulated throughout work life and most recent. Methods We included 712 519 individuals (about 4.5 million person-years) from The Danish Work Life Course Cohort which follows young employees in Denmark from their entry into the labour market. Job control was assessed with a job exposure matrix and DP with register data on public transfer payments. We adjusted for several potential life course confounders, including physical demands at work and parental socioeconomic position and psychiatric and somatic diagnoses. Results Employees in occupations with low job control had a higher risk of DP. There were effects of both cumulated and most recent job control when mutually adjusted. Fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were 1.14 [95% confidence intervals (CIs) 1.11–1.17] and 1.15 (95% CI 1.02–1.29) for cumulated and most recent job control, respectively. Without mutual adjustment, estimates were 1.15 (95% CI 1.13–1.18) and 1.55 (95% CI 1.39–1.72) for cumulated and most recent low job control, respectively. Conclusions Low job control predicts a higher risk of DP, even after adjustment for physical demands at work. The results indicate both gradual and short-term effects of low job control on DP risk.

The Right

This chapter dwells on disruptions of normative time, on what is done ‘at the right time’, and by whom. It empirically situates ‘intersections’ of age, sexuality and gender, as bringing forward certain subjects, while rendering others out of time, backwards, behind and redundant. Sexualities research is replete with metaphors of ‘coming of age’ and, with the passing of Equalities legislation, may well be seen as a discipline that has itself, ‘got on’ or ‘arrived’. Yet only certain gendered and sexual subjects are constructed as on time, planned alongside work-life balance, situated against anticipated life-course trajectories, and as endorsed in social policies, institutional practice and normative imaginings. I draw on concepts from Bourdieu, and ideas of ‘queer temporalities’, to explore how (non)normative personhood is produced and ruptured. I locate myself in and through research, as inevitably intersecting my own cares, biography, personal and professional identity (as also a queer subject ‘getting on’).
