From the health promotion perspective, the daily occupation of each person is important.

Different work categories, namely total and partial employment as well as professional prestige or
hierarchical position within an organization, are Deci save factors.

Further, the importance of unemployment should not be overlooked, or the inability to work due

to physical or mental incapacity, retirement age, or domestic obligations.

Other activities, in addition or as an alternative to formal employment, such as domestic activities

or leisure activities for elderly and retired persons, or social solidarity activities are important
factors in promoting health.

Moreover, with the advent of the digital economy, robotics, and the introduction of artificial

intelligence, and quantum computing in production processes (Bowman and Kruse 2017), it is

estimated that the employment problem is one of the great challenges of this new millennium
since a large portion of traditional jobs are rap idly being replaced.

Therefore, the relationship between socioeconomic status and employment needs a new

approach on a global scale (Independent High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence 2019).

Undoubtedly, the level of economic income, even in the medium term, can condition these
variables qualitatively and quantitatively.

These are fac tors such as salary or other income, productive activity, and material possess sons.

The concept of social inequality is also relevant in this matter.

A study by Richard Wilkinson (1992) has shown that average life expectancy at birth is
considerably lower in countries that provide a substantially lower share of income to 70% of the

population (who are in worse socioeconomic conditions).
