Development of a Job-Exposure Matrix (JEM) based on the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2018

The publication at hand develops a job-exposure matrix based on the data of the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2018 that assigns each occupation with levels of exposure for different job demands. The JEM comprises five different categories (physical and environmental job demands, work intensity, working time location, and autonomy). Another category for social support was initially also analysed, but not included in the JEM due to the low variation between occupations. The JEM is made available for different occupational classifications (the German Classification of Occupations [KldB] 1992, ISCO 2008).
