Working conditions are among the most critical determinants of employees' health, safety, and overall well-being. In an ideal context, work environments should provide not only economic security but also physical, psychological, and social protection for workers. However, in many parts of the world—including both developing and industrialized countries—a significant portion of the workforce continues to face adverse or substandard working conditions that fail to meet national or international standards. These unfavorable environments often involve long hours, low wages, insufficient safety measures, job insecurity, lack of social protection, and exposure to physical or psychological risks.
