ABSTRACTMillions of people migrate to a country other than the country where they live and generally migrate to live a better life and become an immigrant every year in the world. Individuals experiencing migration are exposed to social and economic risks and health risks of migration. This exposure adversely affects the lives of migrants in the country of residence. The working conditions of the individuals constitute the working life of the individuals in order to sustain their lives and obtain a certain economic income. Working life is one of the important indicators that determine the health level of the individual. Male migrants, one of the disadvantaged groups in the country they live in, work in unskilled and environmentally unprofessional workers due to communication problems, discrimination and other migrants, and these jobs are often dangerous and temporary jobs that local workers do not want to work with. Access to a job is limited in more qualified positions. Migrant men experience difficulties in finding suitable jobs and work at low costs. The country which immigrant males' work and migration policies are the main reasons why migrant men cannot use health care services and social services adequately. Nurses, who are among the most effective health professionals in the provision of health care services, should be aware of the health risks of the working life of male immigrants and should take these risks into account for the interventions of migrant men.
