We are pleased to publish a new policy brief on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant families in the UK.<\/p>\n

This Policy Brief<\/a>\u00a0 analyses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant families in the UK. It highlights how migrants\u2019 differential legal and immigration status during the crisis exacerbated existing economic and social inequalities facing migrant families, with significant consequences for the wellbeing, care and protection of the most vulnerable groups. Policy recommendations focus on the need to address intersecting inequalities in the labour market, health and social care, welfare and immigration systems; facilitate transnational family reunion and mobility across borders, especially where there are care needs; and increase funding and collaboration in service delivery to address the needs of the most vulnerable migrant families.<\/p>\n

This Policy Brief was produced by Dr. Amrita Limbu, Prof. Ruth Evans and Dr. Rosa Mas Giralt, as part of the research project, Care, Inequality and Wellbeing in Transnational Families in Europe: a comparative, intergenerational study in Spain, France, Sweden and UK<\/em>, led by Professor Ruth Evans, University of Reading and Dr. Rosa Mas Giralt, University of Leeds, UK.<\/p>\n

The project is funded by the Joint Programming Initiative \u2018More Years Better Lives\u2019 (UK Research and Innovation \u2013 Economic and Social Research Council, Agencia Estatal\u202fde\u202fInvestigaci\u00f3n, Spain,\u202f Agence\u202fNationale\u202fde la Recherche, France and FORTE, Sweden).<\/p>\n
