DDA-0280 „Nordhavn Repair Yard
Survey, 1976-1979“
(Lars Iversen and Hans Klausen)
The Nordhavn Repair Yard Survey 1976-
1979 consists of two main parts: Part I:
Working Environmental Problems at the
Nordhavn Repair Yard, 1976, and Part II:
Consequences of the Nordhavn Repair Yard
Closedown, 1977-1979.
Part I examines working environmental
problems at the Nordhavn Repair Yard
(employing approx. 100 workers), and Part II
(consisting of 3 follow-up surveys) examines
the consequences (occupational, social,
family, health and financial consequences)
of the Nordhavn Repair Yard closedown for
the workers.
The purpose of the original survey (Part I)
was to examine the workers’ attitudes,
individually and collectively, to working
environmental and health problems. The
importance of safety organizations and unions
at firm level was assessed. And the survey
demonstrated that activities concerned with
improving the working environment were an
integrated part of industrial activity in general,
and that working environmental improvements
always had to be imposed on the employers.
Part II:
6 months after the data collection, the
Nordhavn Repair Yard closed down. Because
of this, the primary investigators decided to
carry out 3 follow-up surveys to find out
what the costs and consequences of this
closedown were for the workers with regard
to occupation, financial conditions and health,
as well as with regard to their exclusion from
the labour market.
(Follow-Up Survey I was carried out in
1977, Follow-Up Survey II in 1978, and
Follow-Up Survey III in 1979).
File dimensions: 100 cases, 631 variables.
DDA-0363 Fertility and Occupation
in Denmark, 1979
(Pamela Rachootin and Jørn Olsen)
The purposes of the survey are 1) to assess the
methodological problems connected with the
use of patients under medical treatment for
infertility as study subjects in an epidemiological
study of the relationship between
occupation and fertility, 2) to estimate the
prevalence of reduced fertility and spontaneous
abortions as well as to estimate the
average time required for conception, and 3)
to examine the types of occupation associated
with reduced fertility, spontaneous abortion
and stillbirth.
All the data were collected in interviews
with a stratified random sample of approx. 1.4
per thousand Danish females between 25 and
45. The sample consisted of a total of 953
women, and 74.4% of these were interviewed.
The interviews were carried out as part of the
omnibus survey which was carried out by
Danmarks Statistik and the Danish National
Institute of Social Research in October 1979
(DDA-0522). The questionnaire included
information about present and former occupation
of the woman and her husband/cohabitant,
female reproductive history (including
time required for conception, medical consultations
for infertility problems, number of
pregnancies, result of pregnancies, etc.) as
well as socio-demographic information.
File dimensions: 709 cases, 149 variables.
