Derechos de juventudes migrantes en tiempos de aislamiento y distanciamiento social

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought major changes in everyone's lives. The preventive measures of isolation and social distancing, the effects of the retraction of the labour market, and the vicissitudes involved in the reproduction of everyday life, had differential repercussions on different social groups. The deepening of economic inequalities among those who were already vulnerable and unprotected is evident. Young migrants have been one of the most vulnerable groups during the pandemic. In this sense, analyzing their experiences, even with their internal diversities, makes it possible to highlight some of the impacts in terms of exclusion from rights (OAJ REPORT, 2020). In this article, we are interested in addressing three aspects that reveal the before mentioned diagnosis: limitations to territorial mobility, working conditions and access to education for young migrants. For this purpose, we will mainly use the data and results of the First National Migrant Survey (ENMA, by its Spanish acronym) carried out in 2020.
