and mechanisms underlying the higher morbidity of precarious<br />

workers What are the health-damaging pathways and<br />

mechanisms among immigrants from different social classes<br />

What are the mechanisms underlying the often-observed<br />

statistical interaction between age, gender, or race/ethnicity and<br />

employment conditions in producing health inequalities in light of<br />

these considerations, we have included sections on “selected<br />

scientific findings”, “selected case studies” and “gaps in<br />

knowledge” for each employment dimension. our main goal in this<br />

chapter is to show the main links between employment conditions<br />

and health inequalities, both directly and through working<br />

conditions (see figure 23).<br />
