"The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered societies and labour markets. In a matter of weeks, severe constraints on mobility were imposed via border and business closures, quarantines and movement restrictions. The pandemic and subsequent movement restrictions have acutely exposed the front-line nature of much of the work carried out by migrant workers, by laying bare the ways in which economic, social and structural inequalities impact upon some groups of workers and migrants more than others. Gender is one such distinguishing factor."
