“…Children should be taught that they do not have to do every job that is assigned to them and that they have the right to refuse any job that is assigned to them. However, children in Turkey, the European Union, and other parts of the world should, first and foremost, be provided with economic and social conditions in which they will not be forced to work and will have the opportunity to play and develop themselves in all aspects (Nielsen, et al, 2016;Bravo, et al, 2020;Einarsdottir & Snorradottir, 2020b).…”

Çocuk işçiliği, günümüzde yaygın olan toplumsal bir sorundur. Çözümü için kısa ve uzun vadeli politikalar geliştirilmektedir. Kısa vadeli hedef mevcut durumu iyileştirmek ve iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) açısından daha uygun hale getirmek iken, uzun vadeli hedef ise bu sorunu tamamen ortadan kaldırmaktır. Bu kapsamda; Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu'nun (TÜİK) 2020 yılı verileri kullanılarak çocuk işçiliğine ilişkin istatistiksel hesaplamalar yapılmıştır. Yedi başlık altında risk analiz tabloları hazırlanarak Türkiye'nin mevcut durumu hakkında genel bir çerçeve oluşturulmuştur. Çocuk işçiliğinin, yapılan işin türüne, yaşa ve cinsiyete, bağımsız veya aileleriyle birlikte çalışıp çalışmamalarına bağlı olarak birçok şekil aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışan erkeklerin sayısının çalışan kızların sayısından fazla olduğu ve erkeklerin daha fazla iş kazasına maruz kalmalarının sebebinin ise sanayide daha fazla çalışmaları nedeniyle olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmada sadece Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu'na (SGK) kayıtlı çocuk işçilerin incelenmiştir. Bu çocukların korunması için yasal düzenlemeler yapılarak İSG açısından daha güvenli çalışma ortamlarının oluşturulması ve kayıt dışı çalışan çocukların Türkiye için toplumsal bir sorun olmaması hedeflenmelidir. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda araştırmanın sonuçları değerlendirilmiş, Türkiye'de çocuk işçiliğinin ve iş güvenliğinin sağlanması konusunda yapılması gerekenler ve çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.

“…The present study defines young adults as workers in the age of 19-29 including all working arrangements. The following inclusion criteria were considered: 1) interventions of RTW status, regardless of sustained RTW, full RTW, and partial RTW, 2) inclusion of young adults aged [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]3) studies specified that the mechanisms leading to injury were work-related, 4) studies published in peer-reviewed journals between the years of 2010 to 2020 and 5) studies were published in English or Swedish. Lastly, all types of intervention programs that were performed with the purpose of facilitating young adults RTW following work-related injuries were included, regardless of study design.…”

“…However, taking previous studies into consideration, there seems to be no single specific work-injury that is more related to young working adults. Instead, previous research emphasizes that the type of occupation and working contract [6,27], educational level [4], psychosocial and physical maturity levels, as well as experience [6][7][8] are factors that may influence the type of work-related injury young adults are exposed to. For example, statistics from Sweden show that injuries such as knife-cuts from handheld tools and machines are common for young working adults in construction and metal industries [2].…”

OBJECTIVE: To provide a review of current knowledge about interventions aimed to facilitate young adults to return to work following work-related injuries. METHODS: A systematic review of published literature from the year 2010 and onwards was conducted to identify studies examining return to work interventions for young adults (aged 19–29) following work-related injuries using PubMed and Web of Science. Two reviewers conducted the screening process and assessed the study quality using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute assessment tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional studies. Due to wide heterogeneity and small number of studies retained post-screening, a descriptive summary analysis of the included studies was conducted. RESULTS: No studies were identified that focused exclusively on interventions for young adults. However, two studies, in which an age category of young adults was available, were included and assessed for quality. The study populations were primarily suffering from work-related injuries in the lower back or lower limbs. Both studies revealed that return to work interventions using a case manager coordinating and providing consultation, advice, and risk management to multidisciplinary teams was associated with lower sick leave days. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the emerging evidence that young adults have higher rates of work-related injuries compared to older colleagues, information concerning work-related injuries and return to work interventions specifically targeting young workers is still lacking. Further research is therefore needed to develop and evaluate return to work interventions for the population of young adults.
