Abstract:
Latinx and Asian immigrants face significant barriers to health care access. These roadblocks vary considerably across legal status, particularly among those who have undocumented status. Given that health care access is tied to employment in the U.S., such barriers to care may be due in part to employment policies that can exclude immigrants from employment or inadequately protect them from workplace violations. While studies have found that legal status can shape immigrants’ work trajectories and health care access over time, little is known about how one’s undocumented status influences employment exclusions or workplace violations. In this fact sheet, we present data on employment exclusions and violations in the workplace among California immigrants who ever had undocumented status. We used data from the Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) Study to examine Latinx and Asian immigrants ages 18 or older who experienced employment exclusions and workplace violations across their history of undocumented status (n=2,013). RIGHTS is a follow-on survey to the 2018, 2019, and 2020 California Health Interview Surveys (CHIS).
