shipley, Marmot, stansfeld, & smith, 1998) and managerial<br />

pressure (Muntaner et al., 2004). They can also vary in terms of<br />

experiencing physical, biological and chemical hazards.<br />

ultimately, the level of physical and psychosocial exposures at<br />

the workplace determined by power will depend on the workers’<br />

stratification (social class, gender, race/ethnicity, age), type of<br />

occupation and work organisation (see also section 8.3. on<br />

“working conditions”). Phenomena such as gendered and ethnic<br />

occupational segregation, discrimination in the workplace or<br />

wage inequalities also shape health inequalities among full-time<br />

permanent workers. since our central issue is employment<br />

relations, in the fol<strong>low</strong>ing sections we will focus on “nonstandard”<br />

employment relations.<br />
