Title Working conditions of two specific groups: Uninsured workers and foreign workers
Original title Condiciones de trabajo de dos colectivos específicos: trabajadores no asegurados e inmigrantes [in Spanish]
Bibliographic information July 2009, No.53, p.12-19. Illus. 8 ref.
Abstract Data from the 5th survey on working conditions in Spain were used to analyse the working conditions of two specific groups of workers, namely uninsured workers and foreign workers. The outcome of this analysis is that 5% of workers holding Spanish nationality are not insured by their employers, while the proportion for foreign workers is close to 14%. The latter often work in hazardous sectors and perform the most hazardous tasks. The implications of these findings are discussed.
