“…RU migrants are a distinct and unprivileged group in cities who mostly take up the low‐paid and hazardous jobs that urban natives generally reject (Yang et al., ). Bastian, Owens, Kim, Barnett, and Siegler () found that smokers are more likely to have less education and more job strain which might trigger persistent smoking. Work‐related stressors, such as long working hours, lack of social support, monotonous and anxiety‐provoking work, boredom and repetitiveness, the increasing influence of urban lifestyles, working under time pressure and job dissatisfaction, may all increase the likelihood of smoking (Albertsen, Borg, & Oldenburg, ; Chen et al., ).…”

The magnitude of rural–urban migration in Bangladesh is increasing. Rapid urbanisation and a growing number of slums (dominated by migrants) pose many challenges to health. To our knowledge, studies regarding internal migration and health are scarce and results are mixed. Therefore, we compared several aspects, namely: housing, health knowledge, smoking, mental and general health, for three groups of migrants, designated urban natives/urban to urban migrants (UN/UU), rural to urban migrants (RU) and rural natives/rural to rural migrants (RN/RR). Results based on a sample of 5,136 adults indicated that the majority of respondents were less than 50 years old, female, married and uneducated. The percentages of UN/UU, RU and RN/RR migrants were 9.6, 69.2 and 21.3, respectively. As both bivariable and multivariable analyses indicated greater vulnerability among RU migrants in terms of the above‐mentioned aspects, this particular group deserves more attention from policy‐makers and other stakeholders. Some implications are also discussed. Key Practitioner Message: ● This study provides information regarding internal migration and explains push–pull factors in Bangladesh; ● It provides evidence regarding greater vulnerability in terms of health and other determinants among rural–urban migrants living in Dhaka slums; ● Lastly, the study justifies the importance of intervention strategies targeting poor migrants in urban slums in developing countries.

“…Some evidence suggests indirect effects of the psychosocial work environment on health through health behaviors [Belkic et al, 2004]. In particular, some crosssectional studies of DCM measures in relation to smoking behaviors in working populations have found a positive association of smoking with high psychological demand in men [Hellerstedt and Jeffery, 1997;Kuper and Marmot, 2003;Gun Kang et al, 2005] and in women [Niedhammer et al, 1998;Brisson et al, 2000;Bastian et al, 2001;Kuper and Marmot, 2003], active jobs (jobs where high job demand is combined with high job control) in both men and women, [Brisson et al, 2000] and job strain in women [Bastian et al, 2001]. In the only longitudinal study, [Landsbergis et al, 1998] a decrease in cigarette smoking was associated with an increase in job control over 3 years.…”

“…The workplace could also be the origin of various health inequalities 13 , since working conditions have been found to be associated with employees' health behaviour [14][15][16][17] and health [18][19][20][21][22] . Mentally strenuous jobs and high job control are associated with a healthy diet in Finnish female employees 23 , and physical jobs are associated with a snack-dominating meal pattern in male employees 24 .…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether there are associations between working conditions and the use of staff canteen or packed meals among Finnish employees. Setting: Data were obtained from cross-sectional surveys on working conditions, conducted triennially (1997, 2000, 2003) since 1997. Subjects: In each survey, the subjects were 25-64-year-old employed Finnish employees: 3096 men and 3273 women. Results: Employees at large workplaces used canteens far more often than those at smaller workplaces. Working conditions played a different role in canteen use at small and large workplaces, as well as among the different sexes. At small workplaces, physically demanding jobs held by female employees and low job control encouraged employees to use the canteen. On the other hand, at large workplaces, low social support at work encouraged the use of canteens among men whereas high mental strain at work meant they used the canteen less. Among women, eating packed meals was not related to working conditions, but among men, low social support and high mental strain at work were associated with more frequent use of packed meals. Conclusions: The use of a staff canteen is largely determined by the size of the workplace and by employee education. The underlying factor could be the availability of canteens, a question which must be confirmed in further studies, since well-planned mass catering at workplaces has major effects on public health, well-being and the nutrition education of employees.
