[Occupational activity and work disability in pregnancy].
From 600 employed pregnant women at least 61% have got a certificate of disablement one time in their pregnancy. 22.4 days of deficiency due in capability of working have been calculated on an average per employed gravida with statistically significant differences with regard to the degree of qualification and the working sphere of these women, too. Combined with an increase in the degree of qualification, a rising amount of days of deficiency has been found (18.5 days in the group of unskilled workers and 30.9 days in the group of pregnant women with high school graduation). The percentage of disablement also clearly varies in the working sphere of gravidae (53.3% in the administration and 71.4% in the public health service). This investigation is a pilot study and will be enlarged and completed later on.
