Data Insights - COVID-19 deaths and occupational risk: Scotland in a comparative perspective

Abstract

There are occupational disparities in the risk of COVID-19. In this Data Insights, we explore how COVID-19 mortality rates vary by occupation for women and men in Scotland in the period between 1st March 2020 and 31st January 2021. Using a national novel linked data collection, we contrast preliminary results for Scotland with those from a similar linked data study for England.
