| Summary: | The aim of this empirical investigation is to assess Bangladeshi temporary migrant‟s general
health status in Malaysia and factors affecting their health. The study was carried out through
the quantitative method. A survey was conducted among 300 Bangladeshi migrant workers
from construction, manufacturing and service sectors. The result indicates that the
Bangladeshi temporary migrant workers reported positive self-reported health status with
percentages good, very good and excellent. It was also found that the construction and service
sector workers reported slightly better health status than manufacturing workers. Result
showed that married workers have more health problems than singles. In addition, the low level
of education creates more health problems among Bangladeshi workers. It was found that
highly educated Bangladeshi workers are more likely to safeguard a sound health status. This
study suggest considering Bangladeshi immigrants‟ health behaviours, health status and
health needs, there should be early health promotion and necessary prevention and/or
intervention to improve their health conditions. |
