Are immigrants, ethnic and linguistic minorities over‐represented in jobs with a high level of compensated risk? Results from a montréal, Canada study using census and workers' compensation data

OBJECTIVES: Few Canadian data sources allow the examination of disparities by ethnicity, language, or immigrant status in occupational exposures or health outcomes. However, it is possible to document the mechanisms that can create disparities, such as the over-representation of population groups in high-risk jobs. We evaluated, in the Montréal context, the relationship between the social composition of jobs and their associated risk level.
