3.7 Tackling work-related health hazards: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Most workers living in poverty lack basic health and welfare services
and work in an unhealthy and unsafe working environment. For many, their

and poor health thus result from a combination of poor living and working
conditions. Most workers in the informal economy work in precarious and
unsafe conditions, without sanitary facilities, potable water or proper waste

160 million workers fall ill each year as a result of workplace hazards. The
poorest and least protected – often women, children and migrants – are
among the most affected. |
