“…Prior research has found that low-wage work, despite its conditions, is very meaningful to immigrants (Markova et al, 2015; Montoya, 2016; Rosso et al, 2010).

Few studies integrate work and immigration as intersecting social determinants of health. We synthesize data from 12 focus groups ( N = 97) originating from two separate community-engaged studies that originally centered on exploring barriers to health and hazards of work among immigrant Latinx women and men to explore the role of work in their overall health and well-being. The three major interrelated themes we drew from this research—hazards of work, value of work, and building agency to overcome risk—provide insights that can help to reframe and begin to operationalize how community-based health promotion practice might better incorporate workplace issues for Latinx low-wage workers. The value of work, and its subtheme, pride in performing well specifically, could be engaged by workers to actively change conditions for themselves and others. We discuss findings in light of previous occupational health research and implications for community-based intervention design and practice.

“…Sie ist jedoch auch indirekt relevant, wenn es um die Beschäftigtenperspektive auf die Arbeit geht. Die vergleichende Analyse hat hier eine Deutung identifiziert, die in dieser Weise spezifisch die Narrationen von aus dem Krieg gef lüchteten Menschen aus Ex-Jugoslawien prägt: die Deutung der Dankbarkeit (Sardadvar 2012;Markova et al 2015). Dieses Muster lässt sich nur mit Blick auf den lebensgeschichtlichen Hintergrund verstehen.…”
