Sickness absence, work disability associated with illness or injury, is a major public health problem worldwide. Some studies have investigated determinants of sickness absence among workers with shorter job tenure, but have only focused on certain diagnostic groups. Although it is well established that job tenure has an inverse relationship with work injury rate, less is known about its association with sickness absence for other disorders. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the risk factors for incidence and duration of sickness absence according to diagnosis over a 7-year period. A dynamic cohort consisting of all permanent civil servants hired from 2005 to 2011 by the Goiania municipality-Brazil. Data of certified sickness absences longer than 3 days were analyzed. The incidence density was calculated per 1000 person-years in each ICD-10 category. The association between sickness absence and socio-demographic and occupational characteristics was examined using negative b...

Objective: To describe the use of psychotropic drugs among civil servants with registered absenteeism due to mental disorders, and to investigate associations with duration of leave of absence. Methods: A cross-sectional study with civil servants on leave of absence due to mental disorders, between January and December 2017. Demographic, occupational and clinical variables were extracted from secondary data. Non-parametric tests were used to investigate correlations between use of psychotropic drugs and leave duration. Cluster analysis was used to investigate associations between occupational characteristics and illness profile. Results: Antidepressants were the most commonly used drugs (82.9%). Central tendency values for days on leave differed according to the number of psychotropic drugs used. In cluster analysis, a particular cluster (servants of intermediate age group and work experience – mean of 46 years and 15 years, respectively) stood out regarding use of antidepressants, severity of depression and frequency and duration of leave of absence. Conclusion: Leave of absence due to mental disorders was associated with higher rates of psychotropic drug use. The group of servants identified in this study may be a primary target for health promotion, prevention and recovery actions at the organization.

Housing affordability in the urban areas depends on the income of urban households. Changes in income trends have an impact on housing affordability. In 2015 government of Bangladesh declared an eighth pay scale increasing the salary of government employees which is activated from July 2016. The purpose of the study is to find out whether the current income trend of government employees (grade 6 to grade 9) impacts on housing affordabilityor not. If impacts then how. Here, in this paper, Mohammadpur, a middle income area of Dhaka, was taken as a case to study. Various types of survey methods such as field survey and structured interviews were used to collect the primary data. Information from secondary sources was also used. It was found that the income increment impacts on housing preference but fails to impact on housing affordability. This paper discussed about this issue and the findings will contribute to better understand the housing affordability of government employees specifically in a middle income area of Dhaka city. It may lead public and private housing providers to take appropriate steps to solve the housing problem of government employees in near future.
