Title
Employment-Related Mobility and the Health of Workers, Families, and Communities: The Canadian Context
Abstract
The article discusses employment-related mobility in Canada and examines ways in which it impacts the well-being and health of communities, families, and workers. It explores various reasons individuals would need to partake in labor mobility including seasonal employment, commuting from rural to urban areas, and being employed in the trucking, seafaring, or airline industries. It also discusses Canadian census information regarding migrant and foreign workers, describes various risks that employment-related mobility poses to the social, emotional, and physical health of workers, and analyzes how labor mobility can impact the social formation of communities.
