Resumen
ROBAINA AGUIRRE, Caristina y ROBAINA AGUIRRE, Fermín J.. Labor epidemiology in developing countries. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.
The present article analyzes in a critical way the epidemiological situation at work that exists in most of the developing countries. Also the diseases that more frequently affect our populations, mainly the working population including the vulnerable groups such as women and children who are forced to work under poor and unsafe conditions because of economic and social reasons, were assessed. The role played by some industrial nations in the rise of environmental pollution in our third world, with the resulting impact on our populations´s health was stressed.
