How to be a full and happy woman?
April 2024
We all agree that the conditions and the healthy work environments , they are a basic human right that contribute to productivity and creativity, and that respond to the daily demands of products and services. The problem is that in many Latin American countries this basic right is ignored. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) offers some interesting revelations of what is happening in Latin America:
According to PAHO, developing countries pay an especially high price in deaths and injuries, since a large number of people are employed in dangerous activities such as agriculture, construction, wood industry, fishing and mining. Throughout the world, the poor and the least protected - often women, children and migrants - are the most affected. It is what is defined as job insecurity and that has to do with insecurity at work, the lack of protection of workers' health and the risk of accidents, of suffering illnesses and stress, the lack of Social Security coverage (in the face of unemployment, diseases, maternity or accidents), or excessively long days.
These are the worst aspects of precariousness in Latin America.
