We investigate how occupation influences the relationship between temperature and mortality in Mexico. Using multiple … decades of nationwide death records - which include information on occupation - linked to local weather data, we find that … heat-related mortality risk varies sharply by occupation. Young adults in climate-exposed jobs, especially in agriculture …
