Immigration and integration in rural areas and the agricultural sector: An EU perspective

Sona Kalantaryan et al.

Summary: The study found that, with the decline in agricultural labor force, the proportion of migrant workers in the agricultural sector in several regions is increasing over time. Migrants living in rural areas are more likely to be unemployed and face economic hardship, while migrants employed in agriculture are more likely to work in elementary occupations and temporary jobs. The case studies on Italy and Spain demonstrate that the size of the migrant population is related to the typology of agricultural land use and labor intensity and seasonality of cultivation.

The interplay between structural and systemic vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic: migrant agricultural workers in informal settlements in Southern Italy

Serena Tagliacozzo et al.

Summary: This article focuses on the vulnerability of migrant agricultural workers in Southern Italy to the COVID-19 pandemic. By studying structural and systemic vulnerabilities, the authors develop an analytical framework that explains how long-standing vulnerabilities have interacted with the crisis to produce adverse outcomes for migrant workers, and expose vulnerability in agricultural labor market, migration and asylum, and healthcare systems. The article also discusses pre-existing interventions that could mitigate systemic vulnerability and the policy implications derived from recognizing systemic failures.
