MIGRATION POLICY OUTLOOK IN THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT
MIGRATION POLICY OUTLOOK IN THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is strongly felt by migrants, radically changing the present and future migration from all points of view. Since the beginning of the pandemic, a large part of migrants have been forced to find themselves in a difficult situation, dictated by measures to limit entry-exit into / from the country, on the one hand, and unemployment in the country of origin. Migrants are excluded from the labor market because undeclared work has increased, where foreign workers will compete with local workers. The issue of return migration is also addressed, emphasizing that return is not very developed, but has a significant impact through the emergence of the solutions they are thinking of. The article mainly refers to what happened in Romania and to what is to be expected in terms of volume, structure and population dynamics in the short, medium and long term, in the context of the challenges brought by the medical emergency caused by COVID19.
