Article 1: "Working Conditions and Health of Small-Scale Fishers in South
Africa" by Leslie London and colleagues, published in the International
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health in 2017.

This article examines the working conditions and health of small-scale fishers
in South Africa. The study found that fishers faced a range of hazards in their
work, including exposure to harsh weather conditions, physical strain, and the
risk of drowning. In addition, many fishers faced financial pressures that
forced them to work long hours without breaks, which further increased their
risk of injury and ill-health.

Article 2: "The Social and Economic Impacts of Fishing on Small

Communities: A Case Study of a Local Fishing Village in the Philippines" by
Arlene Inocencio and colleagues, published in the Journal of Sustainable
Development in 2014.

This article explores the social and economic impacts of fishing on small
communities in the Philippines. The study found that fishing provided a critical
source of income for many families, but also exposed them to a range of risks
and uncertainties, including changing weather patterns and fluctuations in fish
populations. The authors argue that supporting the development of
sustainable fishing practices and alternative livelihoods can help to mitigate
these risks and promote the long-term well-being of fishing communities.

Article 3: "Working Conditions and Health of Artisanal Fishers in Ghana" by

Samuel Ayetey Akor and colleagues, published in the International Journal of
Environmental Research and Public Health in 2019.

This article examines the working conditions and health of artisanal fishers in
Ghana. The study found that fishers faced a range of hazards in their work,
including exposure to hazardous chemicals and the risk of injury from fishing
equipment. In addition, many fishers faced financial pressures that forced
them to work long hours without breaks, which further increased their risk of
injury and ill-health.

Article 4: "Fishing for a Living: An Analysis of Working Conditions and
Occupational Health Risks in Small-Scale Fisheries in Indonesia" by Rian
Pratiwi and colleagues, published in the International Journal of
Environmental Research and Public Health in 2020.

This article explores the working conditions and occupational health risks
faced by small-scale fishers in Indonesia. The study found that fishers faced a
range of hazards in their work, including exposure to hazardous chemicals
and physical strain from lifting heavy fishing gear. In addition, fishers often
faced financial pressures that forced them to work long hours without breaks,
which further increased their risk of injury and ill-health.

Article 5: "The Human Dimensions of Small-Scale Fisheries in Latin America

and the Caribbean: A Review of the Literature" by Elizabeth Finkbeiner and
colleagues, published in the Journal of Latin American Geography in 2018.

This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the human

dimensions of small-scale fisheries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The
study found that small-scale fishers faced a range of challenges in their work,
including limited access to resources, changing regulations and policies, and
the impacts of climate change. The authors argue that a more holistic
approach is needed to support the long-term sustainability of small-scale
fisheries in the region.

Article 6: "The Role of Women in Small-Scale Fisheries: Ensuring

Sustainability and Resilience" by Sarah Harper and colleagues, published in
the Marine Policy journal in 2018.

This article examines the role of women in small-scale fisheries and the
challenges they face in accessing resources and participating in decision-
making processes. The study found that women played a critical role in the
sustainability and resilience of small-scale fisheries, but were often excluded
from formal governance structures and faced gender-specific challenges,
such as limited access to credit and training opportunities.

Article 8: "The impact of employment on school performance of working

students: Evidence from a fishing community in the Philippines" by D. Abad
(2018)
This study investigates the impact of employment on the school performance
of working students in a fishing community in the Philippines. It finds that
working students tend to have lower academic performance than non-working
students due to a lack of time for studying and completing school work.

Fishermen in Alaska" by C. Stern and R. McLaughlin (2018)

fishermen in Alaska. It finds that many young people in this industry struggle
to balance work and education, but that fishing can provide valuable work
experience and income for those who pursue it.

Article 10: "The Impact of Work on the Health and Well-Being of Young
Fishermen in Scotland" by S. Smith and S. Kidd (2018)
This study explores the impact of work on the health and well-being of young
fishermen in Scotland. It finds that the physical demands of fishing can take a
toll on the health of young workers, but that the social support provided by the
fishing community can help to mitigate these negative effects.

Article 11: "Working and Studying: Challenges Faced by Young Fishermen in

Indonesia" by R. B. Nugraha and M. H. Arifin (2018)
