dc.description.abstract | Expanding businesses was the main reason for the immigration of Chinese people in Spain,
which consists the fifth largest nationality of immigrants in this country. Nevertheless, few studies
have been carried out to understand the working conditions of this population. Using an ethnographic
design, this study examined the work patterns and working conditions among Chinese immigrants
living in southern Spain and how these factors affected their health. Observing participants, field notes,
and semi-structured interviews with question script were conducted with 133 Chinese immigrants.
Five main themes were defined: “Economic improvement as a migratory reason”, “Conception to
Work”, “Labor Sector”, “Work conditions”, and “Occupational health”. Our results showed that
Chinese immigrants worked in the provision of services, with long working hours and little rest.
Although they had low rates of unemployment, the working conditions had an important impact on
their dietary patterns and their family life. Ergonomic and psychosocial risks also explained high rates
of musculoskeletal problems and stress. In conclusion, Chinese immigrants living in southern Spain
work actively in the service sector of the economy, but with many work hours. These characteristics
seem to impact their health at a physical, psychological, and social level | es |
