Occupational Health and Safety and the Poorest
Published By: Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Orga | Published Date: April , 2011The decline of jobs with secure and lasting contracts and work-related social benefits as well as the corresponding rise in precarious and unprotected work are phenomena affecting both industrialized and developing countries.
