Decent and safe working conditions and non-discrimination in the rights of compensation for serious occupational disorders are of central policy concern in Sweden and for societies in a global sustainability perspective (UN). Despite overall improvements in work-related health in the WHO European Region, inequities within countries persist (WHO, 2019) and relatively large health inequalities still prevail also in welfare countries, such as Sweden (Mackenbach, 2019). The UN SDG target 8.8 consider “Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women and migrants, and those in precarious employment”. While a number of studies within occupational health research have focused inequalities in relation to gender (sex), few studies have focused migrant workers and the combined sustainability approach of inequalities related to migrant status and gender perspectives. This paper reviews studies of indicators of target achievement regarding frequency rates of occupational disorders and equal compensation for occupational disorders, in particular for migrant workers. The aim is to identify and critically analyze previous research conducted within the indicators (the applied methodology and results) and suggest areas where research and academy may contribute towards achievement in these matter.
