Abstract in brief

  • This study develops a standardized framework to estimate the economic impact of work injuries and diseases in European Union countries, considering direct healthcare, productivity losses, and intangible health costs.
  • Indirect costs, mainly related to lost productivity, make up the largest portion of the economic burden, with Poland and Italy identified as the most affected countries in terms of overall costs relative to GDP.
  • The framework can be used by policymakers to better understand the economic consequences of workplace injuries and guide resource allocation and safety policies across different countries.]
