This study explores sex/gender-related differences in ergonomic exposures and musculoskeletal disorders for 4090 working Syrian refugee children (>8-≤18 years) in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon (n = 2107 males; n = 1983 females). Data was collected on demographic, occupational, and socioeconomic indicators and musculoskeletal disorders. Results revealed that children engaged in strenuous work. Ergonomic exposures differed by sex/gender, with girls more likely to engage in repetitive movements and boys in heavy lifting. Girls bore a double burden of work inside and outside their households and were more prone to wrist and hand pain. More girls reported working under pressure to finish their job on time while more boys reported that their salary is based on finishing a specific number of items per day. Syrian refugee child workers need immediate protection to safeguard their health. Interventions could target children of legal age for work in safer conditions and keep younger children out of work.

叙利亚难民童工：人体工学暴露和肌肉骨骼健康方面的性别差异。

这项研究探讨了黎巴嫩贝卡谷地4090名工作的叙利亚难民儿童（>8-≤18岁）（n = 2107男性； n = 1983女性）在人体工程学方面的性别/性别相关差异和肌肉骨骼疾病。收集了有关人口，职业和社会经济指标以及肌肉骨骼疾病的数据。结果显示，孩子们从事艰苦的工作。人机工程学方面的暴露因性别而异，女孩从事重复性运动的可能性更大，男孩从事繁重的运动的可能性更大。女孩在家庭内部和外部承担着双重工作负担，更容易出现手腕和手部疼痛。有更多的女孩报告说他们在压力下按时完成工作，而更多的男孩报告说他们的薪水是基于每天完成一定数量的物品。叙利亚难民童工需要立即保护以保障其健康。干预措施可以针对合法年龄的儿童，使其在更安全的条件下工作，并使年龄较小的儿童失业。
