Abstract

This critical-reflective essay problematizes the labor dynamics in the framework of informality considered as a determinant for access to the health system in Mexico and discusses the vulnerability of workers to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This analysis aims to contribute to the construction of proposals aimed at improving the lives of male and female workers by guaranteeing their right to health.
