乌干达新移民的年轻男子不断地面对和评估一系列的风险。受剥削性工作做法、饥饿和危险性行为威胁的健康/福祉。性快感带来的风险通常与贫穷带来的风险并存。服务需要涉及年轻移民的性别生活经历。在资源有限的环境中，年轻的移民在离开家乡工作并试图在一个新的地方立足时面临着多重挑战。在乌干达，随着年轻人口的增长，越来越多的年轻人离开家乡到城市地区寻找机会，他们在努力赚钱的同时往往面临着不稳定的生存。利用深度访谈的数据，我们调查了最近迁移到乌干达西南部一个小镇的20名年轻男子的不稳定生活经历。我们采用案例研究方法，深入研究其中三名年轻人的经历，展示他们如何在日常生活中持续评估风险，因为他们面临着与就业不稳定和难以获得保健服务相关的多重挑战。我们发现，年轻人为了最大化他们有限的机会而愿意承担的风险随着时间的推移而改变。我们的研究结果为年轻男性移徙者面临的性别风险提供了有价值的见解，并说明了年轻移徙者（其中许多人可能只离家相对较短的距离）在健康和福祉方面面临的风险和挑战，需要被视为需要关注和支持的人群。
Newly migrant young men in Uganda continually face, and evaluate, a hierarchy of risks. Health/wellbeing threatened by exploitative work practices, hunger, and risky sex. Risks from sexual pleasure commonly exist in tension with the risks of poverty. Services need to engage with the gendered lived experiences of being young migrants. Young migrants in resource-constrained settings face multiple challenges when they move away from home for work and try to make their way in a new place. In Uganda, with a growing youthful population increasing numbers of young people are leaving home to look for opportunities in urban areas, often facing a precarious existence as they try to make money. Using data from in-depth interviews we investigate the lived experience of precarity of 20 young men who had recently migrated to a small town in south-west Uganda. We adopt a case study approach to look in-depth at the experience of three of the young men, showing how they engage in a continual evaluation of risk in their day to day lives, as they face multiple challenges related to their insecure employment and poor access to health services. We found that the risks that the young men are willing to take to maximise their limited opportunities changed over time. Our findings provide valuable insights into the gendered risks faced by young male migrants and illustrate the ways in which young migrants, many of whom may only have travelled a relatively short distance from home, face risks and challenges to their health and wellbeing, and need to be recognised as a population in need of attention and support.
