"This study corroborates that poor health is a risk factor for labor force exit. However, previous studies have hardly considered different exit routes as competing events. The choice for the statistical analysis technique influenced the results. The Fine & Gray model allows for better estimation of relative and absolute risks of leaving the labor force in the presence of competing exit routes."
