Socio-economic Impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic on Migrants

As COVID-19 turned into a global pandemic, movement of goods and people was restricted in an attempt to curb the further spread of the infectious disease. The pandemic affected historically marginalized populations the most and increased their existing social, economic, housing, and health vulnerabilities. Moreover, the ‘Migrant Status’ added the intersectionality of inequalities among existing conditions of vulnerability making them the most affected population during the pandemic. This research investigates these impacts in detail for the migrant population who returned back after the pandemic in 2 two Indian cities, namely Delhi and Mumbai.
