What explains the socioeconomic status-health gradient? Evidence from workplace COVID-19 infections

Raphael Godefroy et al.

Summary: This study examines the role of the workplace in the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes. The findings suggest that during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses with low SES were more likely to contract the virus due to workplace exposure, while there was no correlation between SES and nonwork-related infection rates. The differences in workplace infection rates were larger than expected, indicating that subtle differences in work conditions can contribute significantly to the SES-health gradient.
