Building a better understanding of labour exploitation's impact on migrant health: An operational framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited evidence on labour exploitation's impact on migrant health. This population is, however, often employed in manual low-skilled jobs known for poor labour conditions and exploitation risks. The lack of a common conceptualisation of labour exploitation in health research impedes the development of research measuring its effects on migrant health and, ultimately, our understanding of migrants' health needs.

Aim

To develop an operational conceptual framework of labour exploitation focusing on migrant workers in manual low-skilled jobs.

Methods

Non-probabilistic sampling was used to recruit multidisciplinary experts on labour exploitation. An online Group Concept Mapping (GCM) was conducted. Experts: 1) generated statements describing the concept
