Reasons for not working |
|
Reasons for not working have been summarised as three main types (Figure 22)6:
1. Injury related, including: still injured; new injury; old injury got worse or aggravated; psychological reasons; and can’t work in that job due to type of injury.
2. Left employment, referring to those who indicated they had left the workforce on a permanent or temporary basis including: retired; resigned; studying; no work
available/seasonal.
3. Retrenched/dismissed, including: retrenched; dismissed by employer; and employer closed down.
In 2008/09, fewer non-working injured QLD workers (60%) were not working for injury related reasons and more because they had either left employment, or been retrenched or dismissed. In 2005-06 the proportion of injured QLD workers not working for injury-related reasons was close to 80%.
