Implicacions de la COVID-19 per als treballadors migrants de cures
Una perspectiva de gènere
Resum
La pandèmia mundial COVID-19 ha afectat els sistemes d’atenció mèdica i els serveis socials i ha causat un impacte econòmic i social negatiu general a tot Europa. Els migrants, que es dirigeixen a Europa o hi resideixen, estan especialment desafavorits, no només pel tancament de fronteres, sinó també perquè molts ja es trobaven en situacions precàries amb accés limitat als sistemes de protecció social al país d’acollida. Els migrants responsables del treball de cures, que són majoritàriament dones, són especialment vulnerables, ja que aquest tipus de feines durant la COVID-19 signifiquen encara més exposició al virus.
Aquest informe descriu les formes en què el treball de cura dels migrants és particularment precari en les condicions de la COVID-19. Assenyala com ara, més que mai, és fonamental abordar el paper crucial que tenen els treballadors de cures migrants a les societats europees. Finalment, suggereix mesures per mitigar els riscos i la vulnerabilitat a què s'enfronten i com les mesures proposades poden ser beneficioses per a la UE en termes de recuperació de la crisi i reconstrucció de les economies afectades.
