Illness and injury are often mentioned among the main reasons for leaving HHCS. We examine the impact of illness and injury on Canadian workers' exit from HHCS and discuss the implications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We use linked Canadian longitudinal administrative employment and health microdata from 2009 to 2022, also linked to 2016 Census microdata. Our longitudinal analysis uses the event study framework. We identify HHCS workers' health events using three sources: Records of Employment issued to ill or injured workers, workers' compensation payments, and acute hospitalization records. We use inverse propensity score weighting to balance the characteristics of workers who experienced a health event with those of workers who did not. Estimates for HHCS workers are compared with estimates for workers in long\u2010term care facilities (LTC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Illness and injury rates appear similar in the HHCS and LTC industries.
