Abstract: Cancer survivors frequently shift to part-time job, unemployment and early retirement, probably more than the general population. We re-evaluated the impact of cancer in the labour market, using ?comparative? transition matrices between occupational states. The proper consequences of cancer were measured by a significant deviation of the transition matrix for cancer survivors, compared to a prior matrix standardised on the general population. The methodology was declined with stratifications by social class or gender. We disentangle whether systematic differences in socioeconomic status regarding ability to return to work, are illness related (cancer sites or diagnosis prognosis), or job related (physical demands). Results of the paper are in favour of a specific concern of the policy-maker towards manual workers affected by cancer. JEL classification: I10 ; J210 ; J24.
