Abstract

Globally, migrant workers often take ‘3-D jobs’ – dirty, dangerous, and demanding. In Norway, they mainly work in construction, manufacturing, and healthcare, often in low-wage positions. However, little is known on the occupational health outcomes of migrant workers. This study utilizes Statistics Norway’s (SSB) Living Conditions and Work Environment Panel Survey 2022, which includes 35,000 respondents, to explore how migrant status affects health. Results show that psychosocial work exposure has a stronger association with mental health symptoms among non-Norwegian workers, while mechanical work hazards are more strongly associated with musculoskeletal symptoms among non-Norwegian workers.

挪威有多平等？挪威移徙工人职业健康与安全分析

在全球范围内，移民工人经常从事“3d工作”——肮脏、危险、费力。在挪威，他们主要在建筑、制造业和医疗保健行业工作，通常是低工资岗位。然而，对移徙工人的职业健康结果知之甚少。本研究利用挪威统计局（SSB） 2022年生活条件和工作环境小组调查，其中包括35,000名受访者，探讨移民身份如何影响健康。结果表明，社会心理工作暴露与非挪威工人的心理健康症状有更强的联系，而机械工作危害与非挪威工人的肌肉骨骼症状有更强的联系。
