Abstract
The significant economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had considerable consequences for migrant workers in the UK. This briefing analyses the extent to which the UK and the social policy responses of its devolved governments to the pandemic have impacted the economic vulnerabilities of migrants. Even before the pandemic, migrants were experiencing the simultaneous effects of increasingly restrictive and punitive immigration controls, precarious labour market conditions and welfare disentitlements. This briefing pays particular attention to the ways in which inequalities on the account of gender, race and immigration status have influenced migrant workers’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Centering intersectionality, this briefing focusses on the labour market conditions and migrants’ un/employment and inequalities in work.
