La experiencia migratoria y su impacto en la concepción del trabajo decente. Un estudio de la migración latinoamericana en la Unión Europea

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of Latin American and Caribbean migrants in Europe regarding the concept of decent work. A total of 411 participants, selected through chain sampling, responded to an online survey based on open-ended questions. A mixed-methods approach was applied, including descriptive analyses in SPSS and inductive qualitative analysis using Grounded Theory in NVivo. The results identified four main themes: respect for rights and laws (including fair wages, job security, and reasonable working hours), quality of life, physical and mental well-being, and personal growth. Gender differences were found in job security and work-life balance. The study, aligned with ILO definitions and the 2030 Agenda, highlights the need for comprehensive policies that promote equity, psychological well-being, and fair working conditions for migrants in Europe.
