- Layers of Vulnerability in Occupational Health and Saftey for Migrant Workers: Case Studies from Canada and the United Kingdom
In many high-income countries, like Canada and the United Kingdom, there has recently been a significant increase in the number of migrant workers entering and participating in their labour markets.

Using this layer of vulnerability framework, we compare the situation of at-risk migrant workers in Canada and the United Kingdom....
