Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the extent, nature, and economic and social effects of sickness among wage workers in Pennsylvania. By examining the historical background of workmens' compensation laws as well as the current methods of healthcare in the region, the author explores the impact of working conditions on health, and the adequacy of healthcare and insurance in treating and financially alleviating the burden of sickness among workers and their families. The inadequacies of existing systems are examined to provoke discussion on the need for expanding healthcare and social insurance to provide greater protection against sickness for Pennsylvanian workers. Furthermore, the author unpacks the many ways in which sickness disproportionately harms the poorest workers in society, and explores the influence of industrialization on degenerative diseases among workers, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the history of healthcare provision and labor laws in the United States.
