RESUMEN
Reflexión sobre la situación de salud de los trabajadores, así como de las características que adquiere su cuidado dentro del contexto de un mundo globalizado. Para analizar este tema, se inicia con una discusión de los principales conceptos de globalización y sociedad del riesgo. En un segundo momento y bajo la perspectiva conceptual definida, se presenta un panorama estadístico de la salud de los trabajadores a nivel mundial, enfatizando la inequidad existente entre el mundo considerado desarrollado y el de los países pobres o en desarrollo. Posteriormente se discute acerca de los sistemas de salud y su incapacidad de dar respuesta eficiente a los problemas de salud de los trabajadores. Finalmente, se reflexiona en torno a la necesidad de replantear las estrategias de abordaje y de acción para contribuir a mejorar el estado de salud de los trabajadores y sus familias, poniendo en el centro el rescate de la "vida buena" y lo humano.
ABSTRACT
This is a reflection on the current health situation of workers, as well as a reflection on the characteristics of their care system in the context of a globalized world. In order to present this reflection, the first part is focused on the discussion of the main concepts of globalization and risk society. On the second part, and according to the conceptual framework established on the first part, a statistical perspective of workers' health around the world is suggested, emphasizing on the existing inequity between thought-to-be developed world and the developing or poor countries. On the next part, a discussion related to health insurance systems and their incompetence to tackle efficiently workers' health outcomes is established. On the final part, a reflection on the need to reframe the approach and action strategies for improving health status of workers and their families is suggested; this part of the reflection is focused on the recovery of "good life" and human sense of life.
