Occupational Health Economics

The research programme for Occupational Health Economics is intended to deliver on the strategic objectives related to the development of analysis tools and data infrastructure based on the prioritisations of the ‘National Strategy for Working Environment Research’, the NFA’s institutional strategy and the Ministry of Employment’s group-wide evidence and data strategies. The research programme is particularly focused on developing Occupational Health Economics as a research area, running development and use of methods for register analysis and impact measurement as well as a concentrating more on using new approaches such as big data and machine learning.

Vision

The vision for the research programme is to contribute to positioning the NFA as a leading research environment in Denmark within methods for quantitative analysis of working environment data and the relationship between working environment and labour market status, including the development of a new prioritised research effort in Occupational Health Economics. The aim is to ensure that the NFA is regarded as a credible actor with considerable relevance and methodological quality in its research and analysis products. The strategic efforts in the departments will be undertaken in close collaboration with the other research areas within the NFA as well as with external research environments with a view to ensuring that the efforts contribute as much as possible to the development of methodological and analytical competences throughout the NFA.
