Work-related challenges and their associated coping mechanisms among female head porters (Kayayei) in Ghana

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

While internal migrants (Kayayei) in Ghana have been perceived as a vulnerable group facing various health-related challenges, there has not been enough research on the impact of their work on their health and well-being. This study investigated the lived experiences of the Kayayei to identify the health-related challenges associated with their work and the coping mechanisms they adopt in dealing with these challenges.
