Outline of Final Research Achievements

Because socioeconomic factor, one of social determinant of health, is shared at a group of community and family, each person's health factor will be expected to have effect on other members　within the group. In this study, we assessed the relationship between such personal health factor and whole health status in their community or/and family from the perspective of non-regular work, such as day work, part-time job, and dispatched work as precarious employment.
During our research period, we have confirmed followings; the deterioration of regular workers' health together with non-regular workers according to increasing the number of latter workers; insufficient health check receiving among non-regular workers; female worker's unhealthy status in particular to non-regular workers under　unwilling employment; economic disparity in household status and health.
