Unguarded and unfavorable atmosphere for the immigrant women workers
Journal Title: Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
It is a fact that owing to the increased life expectancy and a simultaneous increase in the incidence of lifestyle diseases in developed & middle income nations, the number of females employed as a labor force for discharging health care is significantly increasing [1-2]. In-fact, across the world, a large number of women have entered the workforce and a major proportion of them are immigrants [1]. These women more often than not are working in private & informal settings without having any access to social protection or legal rights [3]. This indeed is a paradoxical situation, wherein the migrant women are supporting the shortfalls in health care delivery (viz. child care, long-term care, etc.) while their own rights to health & other welfare measures are compromised [2].
