abstract: 'One of the most important social phenomena in the global context is the
flow of immigration from developing countries, motivated by economic and
employment related issues. Discrimination can be approached as a health
risk factor within the immigrant population''s working environment,
especially for those immigrants at greater risk from social exclusion
and marginalisation. The aim of this study is to research perceptions of
discrimination and the specific relationship between discrimination in
the workplace and health among Spain''s immigrant population. A
qualitative study was performed by means of 84 interviews and 12 focus
groups held with immigrant workers in five cities in Spain receiving a
large influx of immigrants (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante and
Huelva), covering representative immigrant communities in Spain
(Romanians, Moroccans, Ecuadorians, Colombians and Sub-Saharan
Africans). Discourse narrative content analysis was performed using
pre-established categories and gradually incorporating other emerging
categories from the immigrant interviewees themselves. The participants
reported instances of discrimination in their community and working
life, characterised by experiences of racism, mistreatment and
precarious working conditions in comparison to the Spanish-born
population. They also talked about limitations in terms of accessible
occupations (mainly construction, the hotel and restaurant trade,
domestic service and agriculture), and described major difficulties
accessing other types of work (for example public administration). They
also identified political and legal structural barriers related with
social institutions. Experiences of discrimination can affect their
mental health and are decisive factors regarding access to healthcare
services. Our results suggest the need to adopt integration policies in
both the countries of origin and the host country, to acknowledge labour
and social rights, and to conduct further research into individual and
social factors that affect the health of the immigrant populations. (C)
