cord-328747-bf687r6j	St‐Denis, Xavier	Sociodemographic Determinants of Occupational Risks of Exposure to COVID‐19 in Canada	2020-07-13		.txt	text/plain	8958	389	42	This research note explores how occupational exposure risks vary by labor force characteristics using publicly available Canadian data in combination with a data set providing information on the level of physical proximity and frequency of exposure to infections or diseases faced by workers in different occupations. Second, older workers (65 years or more), a group vulnerable to COVID‐19, appear to work in occupations requiring performing activities characterized by a lower level of physical proximity than their younger colleagues, with minimal differences in the frequency of exposure to diseases or infections. The results presented below show an unequal distribution of occupational characteristics associated with a higher risk of exposure to COVID-19 (level of physical proximity with other individuals, and frequency of exposure to diseases or infections) across different groups of the workforce. The distributional statistics reported above provide evidence of important differences in occupational risks of exposure to infectious diseases such as COVID-19 by gender, age, Aboriginal identity, education, and broad occupational category.	./cache/cord-328747-bf687r6j.txt	./txt/cord-328747-bf687r6j.txt
