Is temporary work a safety risk? Analyzing the Impact on workplace accidents

This presentation evaluates Italy's 2018 labor reform, aiming to reduce temporary employment, on work-related injuries. Using a Difference-in-Differences approach, the study finds no overall impact but shows reductions in mild injuries, especially in high-risk groups. These reductions are linked to improved working conditions, highlighting the importance of focusing on conditions rather than contract types to reduce workplace accidents.
