• Description:
  The Lancet Series on Work and Health recognises that changes in the world of work are causing new occupational hazards to physical and mental health and increasing health inequalities within and between countries. These changes have profound implications for official workers' health data and monitoring systems, which have become a global health priority as the world seeks to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These monitoring systems are public goods that provide international organisations, governments, and communities the evidence base for policy and practice that ensures health for all workers. We argue that these monitoring systems must respond to changing working environments by expanding capture of workers' rights, working conditions, and health inequalities. We outline normative data and monitoring products to reach this systemic shift and provide the public health vision for this new direction. [Description provided by NIOSH]
