One's Workplace, Other's Home? Work and Health of Domestic Workers in Argentina—Baule, 2018

This is an audio summary of the article "One's Workplace, Other's Home? Work and Health of Domestic Workers in Argentina" by Bauleo 2018. This study compared working conditions and their impact on general and mental health in live-in and live-out domestic workers in Argentina. A Spanish version of the European Working Conditions Survey and an ad hoc questionnaire were applied to 201 domestic workers. Results showed that 66% of the participants reported taking care of the elderly, iron and cook, and 17% reported workplace violence. Poor general health was defined by general health self-assessed as poor or fair, and symptoms of common mental disorders (CMD) were considered present if Goldberg's general health score was above 4. After adjustments, violence remained a statistically significant predictor of poor general health and CMD. This is the end of this informational audio track on One's Workplace, Other's Home?
