Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Sociology of Work
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Premature work disability incurs substantial economic and social costs in Finland.
  • Work ability is a complex interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors.
  • Research has extensively covered aging workers but neglected young adults' work ability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review themes concerning the work ability of young adults.
  • To highlight the gap in research on young adults' work ability compared to older populations.
  • To examine factors influencing work ability in early career stages.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of themes related to young adults' work ability.
  • Analysis of factors influencing work ability, including social, environmental, and individual aspects.
  • Examination of the impact of economic conditions and childhood factors on work ability.

Main Results:

  • Work ability is influenced by physical fitness, coping skills, social support, and health behaviors.
  • Environmental factors like exposures and unemployment significantly impact work ability.
  • Finland's economic situation creates excessive workloads and increases unemployment risk for young adults, hindering their entry into working life.

Conclusions:

  • Young adults face unique challenges to work ability due to economic polarization and potential childhood influences.
  • Further research is needed to understand and support the work ability of young adults.
  • Addressing factors affecting young adults is crucial to mitigate long-term economic and social costs associated with work disability.
