Abstract

CASTELLANO ARROYO, María. Spanish Society and Occupational Medicine in the XXI century. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2014, vol.60, suppl.2, pp.51-67. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2014000600006.

In this paper, we review the changes in Spanish society from a demographic perspective: migration, family patterns, culture and education, economic status or technology. We analyze the characteristics of the labor force, unemployed and retired. From this perspective we analyze the aims of Occupational Medicine and its opportunity to offer imaginative contributions to our future society, progressively aging. Research, health promotion and training in healthy habits since early labor age will provide a better health, not only in labor time, but beyond, until retirement.
