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)
