Description of impact

A report from Aalborg University highlights the problematic conditions faced by migrant workers in the Danish construction industry, including a higher risk of workplace accidents. The research has led to several opinion pieces and has been referenced in parliamentary debates. Based on the report, the researchers have also participated in two hearings in the Danish Parliament. Additionally, the Ministry of Employment has established an expert group to investigate the causes of serious workplace accidents and to prevent them. This research has both social and political impact. Socially, it raises awareness about the working conditions and safety of migrant workers. Politically, it has influenced decision-makers to take concrete steps towards improving workplace safety through new legislative measures.
