abstract: 'Background International migration has emerged as a global issue that
has transformed the lives of hundreds of millions of persons. Migrant
workers contribute to the economic growth of high-income countries often
serving as the labour force, performing dangerous, dirty and degrading
work that nationals are reluctant to perform.
Methods Critical examination of the scientific and ``grey{''''}
literatures on immigration, employment relations and health.
Results Both lay and scientific literatures indicate that public health
researchers should be concerned about the health consequences of
migration processes. Migrant workers are more represented in dangerous
industries and in hazardous jobs, occupations and tasks. They are often
hired as labourers in precarious jobs with poverty wages and experience
more serious abuse and exploitation at the workplace. Also, analyses
document migrant workers'' problems of social exclusion, lack of health
and safety training, fear of reprisals for demanding better working
conditions, linguistic and cultural barriers that minimize the
effectiveness of training, incomplete OHS surveillance of foreign
workers and difficulty accessing care and compensation when injured.
Therefore migrant status can be an important source of occupational
health inequalities.
Conclusions Available evidence shows that the employment conditions and
associated work organization of most migrant workers are dangerous to
their health. The overall impact of immigration on population health,
however; still is poorly understood and many mechanisms, pathways and
overall health impact are poorly documented. Current limitations
highlight the need to engage in explicit analytical, intervention and
policy research Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:338-343,2010. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss,
