Characteristics of the study population aged 18 to 69: exposures in person-years and number of failures by type of transition, sex, and time period, as well as educational group in the period 2011–2013.

Time trend in cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis by sex.
Note: Cancer-free working life expectancy represents the expected number of years spent in the labour market that are free of cancer. Cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis is calculated based on the age-specific transition rates between four states: healthy labour force, healthy non-labour force, individuals with cancer, and death; the time trend in cancer-free working life expectancy is statistically significant based on bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. The time trend in working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis is significant only in men aged 60 and above.

Cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis at age 18, age 50, and age 60 by sex and education in period 2011 to 2013.
Note: Cancer-free working life expectancy represents the expected number of years spent in the labour market that are free of cancer. Cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis is calculated based on the age-specific transition rates between four states: healthy labour force, healthy non-labour force, individuals with cancer, and death; educational inequalities in cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis (except women 60 and above) is statistically significant based on bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals.

Proportion of cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis in working life expectancy by sex and period.
Note: Cancer-free working life expectancy represents the expected number of years spent in the labour market that are free of cancer. Cancer-free working life expectancy and working life expectancy after a cancer diagnosis is calculated based on the age-specific transition rates between four states: healthy labour force, healthy non-labour force, individuals with cancer, and death.
