I wonder how that ratio compares to now. I would assume that men (especially teenage/young adult men) are still more likely to suffer injuries (due to higher risk tolerance/attraction, in addition to continued workplace differences).

- laurent92 6y agoMen are ~93% of workplace fatality in XXIst century, both in USA and France for which I’ve seen the figures, although it’s only 450 deaths in France. It is on upwards trend for women (very recent trend, probably equalization of work) and downwards trend for men (has been on the decrease since WWII).
- InitialLastName 6y agoSpecifically, I'm interested in what proportion of people have (at the point of death) had a bone fracture at some point. I would assume that workplace fatality has been dropping (in line with ~all other forms of non-age-related fatality), but a look back through my mind-palace of anecdotal evidence suggests that a) more of the young men I knew than young women have broken bones and b) not far off 30% of the people I know, in (roughly speaking) the most economically privileged class in world history have broken bones at some point. What I'm curious about is the data to back up the anecdote.
