Analysis Abstract: The exploitation of undocumented workers through labor practices such as wage theft and limited access to healthcare has long been a concern in contemporary society. Such practices have been known to have a negative impact on the mental health of this population, which in turn can lead to a higher risk of crime rates. This research paper aims to provide a detailed examination of the relationship between exploitative labor practices and mental health outcomes among undocumented workers by conducting a comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed articles and data-driven reports. The paper provides an overview of Karl Marx’s theory of exploitation and its relevance to the study of mental health outcomes among undocumented workers. The paper also examines the impact of exploitative labor practices on the mental health of undocumented workers, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicide. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of these findings and provides recommendations for addressing exploitative labor practices to promote the mental health and well-being of undocumented workers.
Introduction: The exploitation of undocumented workers through labor practices such as wage theft and limited access to healthcare is a pervasive issue in contemporary society. The lack of legal status and social protections for undocumented workers means that they are often subject to labor exploitation. Such practices have been found to have a negative impact on the mental health of this population, which in turn can lead to a higher risk of crime rates. This paper aims to examine the relationship between exploitative labor practices and mental health outcomes among undocumented workers. To achieve this, a comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed articles and data-driven reports was conducted. The paper also provides an overview of Karl Marx’s theory of exploitation and its relevance to the study of mental health outcomes among undocumented workers. The paper also examines the impact of exploitative labor practices on the mental health of undocumented workers, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicide. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of these findings and provides recommendations for addressing exploitative labor practices to promote the mental health and well-being of undocumented workers.
