abstract="BACKGROUND: Severity of workplace injury tends to increase with age. Whether older workers who experience a workplace injury or illness exit the labor force sooner than comparable peers is not established. <br><br>METHODS: A case-cohort study design and complementary log-log model were used to identify factors associated with average time to early substantial labor force exit among workers' compensation claimants 50-64 years of age with permanent impairment from an occupational injury or illness. Analysis was based on Ontario's workers' compensation claimant data from 1998 to 2006 linked with Canadian tax files. <br><br>RESULTS: Workers with permanent impairment left the labor force earlier, on average, than peers without claims. Early retirement was associated with older age in the injury/illness year, greater impairment, lower pre-claim income, physically demanding jobs, and soft-tissue injuries. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Policies aiming to extend older adults' working lives should account for the potentially disparate impacts on older workers of occupational injury and illness.<br><br>© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
