Umar, Muhammad Awais; Saeed, Fahad | January 2018
Abstract
This study is an attempt to understand the direct relation between migration decisions and heat stress. It will examine not only the impact of heat on livelihoods, but also take into account explicitly the impact of heat stress or thermal comfort level at home as well as at workplace. Further, this study explains how heat stress affects the workability of the workers? What type of work is more exposed to heat stress? How is the level of income associated with discomfort at workplace and at home? And to what extent these stresses play a role in migration decision and the choice of new destination?
This study has been structured into four sections. Section 1 provides an introduction of the study. Section 2 explains the methodology, data collection techniques and an overview of the study site. Section 3 states the results and discussion on the results, and section 4 draws conclusion based on the results and discussion.
