Health terminators in working children: a critical ethnography
Working children face multifaceted health risks driven by cultural, behavioral, and structural factors. Comprehensive, equity-oriented policies addressing physical needs, cultural beliefs, health behaviors, and environmental conditions are essential. Interventions such as culturally sensitive health education, improved living conditions, health insurance coverage, and social support can reduce vulnerability and promote equitable health outcomes, contributing to health justice for marginalized children.
