Layman's description
Climate change is increasing the frequency of heat episodes. Exposure to heat deteriorates working conditions especially in occupations that are associated with outdoor work and/or physically demanding tasks. This project studies the implications of exposure to heat for occupational choice among current and future generations of workers. In the context of the Netherlands, this project will empirically test whether fewer workers decide to work in outdoor-exposed and physically strenuous jobs after experiencing heat episodes. The analysis will be based on rich microdata on employment histories and educational enrolment combined with high-frequency geo-coded temperature data.
