Resumen
GALVEZ HERRER, Macarena; GUTIERREZ GARCIA, María Dolores y ZAPICO MARTINEZ, Nuria. Occupational health and mental health in migrant worker population. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2011, vol.57, suppl.1, pp.127-144. ISSN 1989-7790. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2011000500009.
Working motivation is the main reason of the migratory phenomenon. It means breaking with cultural, social and language barriers, both in the society of origin as in the receiving. Migration processes do not themselves involve mental health problems, but they raise situations of high vulnerability and challenges of integration. Based on a conceptualization of mental health as the physical, psychological and social well-being, in the present article we will review the legal status, social and labour, and how this relates to their mental and occupational health.
