(Pandemic/Migrants) Beyond gratitude: lessons learned from migrants’ contribution to the Covid-19 response (ODI)

Claire Kumar and Elsa Oommen with Federica Fragapane and Marta Foresti

This report recognises and values the fundamental contribution of migrant workers to our societies and economies throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the past year we have leaned heavily on ‘key workers’. Migrants account for a large share of these frontline workers and figure heavily amongst the multiple occupations we now classify as essential. Yet their jobs have often been labelled as ‘low-skilled’ and their work undervalued. As a result, many have risked their lives on the Covid-19 frontline while lacking the basic social protections enjoyed by other workers.
