Spatial (Im)mobility and Kaginhawaan among Crisis-Driven Returned Migrants
Thematic analysis identifies five distinct mobility pathways among crisis-returned migrants: involuntary immobility, voluntary immobility, acquiescent immobility, remigration and an additional category, conditional (im)mobility • Family considerations, structured through gendered expectations about care and provision, constrain or enable (im)mobility while migrants actively construct wellbeing through spatial (im)mobility. • Understanding how cri…
Migrant Work Conditions and Health Status—A Longitudinal Study on ‘Dirty Work’ Among Undocumented and Newly Regularized Workers
Migrant workers, particularly undocumented migrants, may be constrained to accept ‘dirty work’. This term refers to poorly paid jobs with long working hours and significant exposure to various risks, potentially affecting their health. While many scholars discuss the health-related risks associated with these work conditions, empirical quantitative evidence is scarce regarding their direct effects on health among undocumented and newly regularize…
Health Status of North African Adolescent and Young Adult Migrants in Europe
More than five million people from North Africa (NA) lived in Europe in 2019, including youth characterized by intense trans-border mobility, precarious living conditions and high-risk behaviours such as substance use, prostitution and illegal activities. This young population challenges health professionals and health service's ability to deliver medical care. The health literature about them remains scarce. This scoping review aims to map the e…
Resilience Among Undocumented Migrants
Undocumented migrants, known for their particularly vulnerable living conditions, were deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, some demonstrated resilience, successfully remaining in their host countries. Drawing on insights from the Parchemins study, which examined the experiences of undocumented and newly regularized migrants in Geneva, Switzerland, this paper details on undocumented migrants that faced accumulated dif…
Non‐State Regulators? Civil Society as Extension of the State in a Context of a Regularization Scheme for Undocumented Migrants
“Opération Papyrus” was implemented in the Swiss Canton of Geneva between 2017 and 2018 with the aim of granting residence permits to undocumented migrants who met pre‐established criteria. This program serves as an exemplary case of involving nongovernmental actors to facilitate what were originally state‐controlled procedures. Civil society organizations (CSOs) exercised discretionary power and played a pivotal role in negotiating the program's…
Legal Status Regularization, Satisfaction with Life and Gender
Socio-economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Overseas Filipino Workers and their left-behind families
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are considered bagong bayani , or modern-day heroes, as their remittances have a positive long-term impact on the Philippines economy. The Philippines ranked 10 th worldwide in terms of net emigration from 2010 to 2020. The deployment of OFWs declined during the pandemic, and this was estimated to have adverse effects on remittances. As a migrant-sending country, the Philippine government had to deal with the mass…
Chagas disease is a low health priority among high-risk Latin American migrants in Geneva, a qualitative study
This qualitative study of the situation of Latin American migrants with Chagas Disease in Geneva analyses how precarious migration-related socioeconomic conditions determine health priorities and disease perception. The study was conducted between 2016 and 2019 and is based on survey data collected in three Chagas-related community events, as well as on open-ended interviews with Bolivian migrants. This research contributes to more appropriate de…
Recruitment and Attrition for Panel Surveys of Hard-to-reach Populations
Conducting research among hard-to-reach populations is a difficult endeavor because some of their characteristics are known to be associated with survey nonresponse and panel attrition. In the case of the Parchemins study, which followed undocumented migrants over their process of regularization and during the first years of regularized life in Geneva, we underscore the difficulties in recruiting and keeping respondents who come from such a hard-…
Impact of legal status regularization on undocumented migrants’ self-reported and mental health in Switzerland
Undocumented migrants face cumulative difficulties like precarious living and working conditions or exclusion from health services that might negatively influence their health. Little is known about the evolution of undocumented migrants' self-reported health (SRH) and mental health after they get documented. This study aims to observe the effect of legal status regularization on SRH and mental health in a cohort of migrants undergoing regulariza…
When the Set of Known Opportunities Broadens
This qualitative study describes the aspirations that led migrants to stay in Switzerland for more than 10 years in an irregular residence situation and how their aspirations are transformed with the implementation of a regularization program. The prospect of regularization allows undocumented migrants to project themselves more positively into the future. However, there are important differences between young adults, those with children in Switz…
Association Between Residence Status Regularization and Access to Healthcare for Undocumented Migrants in Switzerland
Background Switzerland has a universal healthcare system. Yet, undocumented migrants face barriers at different levels that hinder their access to healthcare services. The aim of this study is to assess whether undocumented migrants' healthcare utilization improves with residence status regularization. Methods We used two-wave panel data from the Parchemins study, a study exploring the impact of regularization on undocumented migrants' health in …
Transitioning out of illegalization
It is known that opportunities to cross borders legally, acquired through regularization programs, are acknowledged by previously illegalized migrants as one of the main positive effects of obtaining a residence permit. However, the impact of these policies has rarely been investigated through the “mobility lens.” To fulfill this gap, this study aims, through a case study, (1) to assess how obtaining a residence permit after having endured years …
Self-rated health among undocumented and newly regularized migrants in Geneva
At the onset of the regularization program, access to regularization was not associated with better self-rated health. Policies aiming at favouring undocumented migrants' inclusion and engagement in social networks may promote better health. Future research should investigate long-term effects of residence status regularization on self-rated health
Equity in access to Covid-19 testing for undocumented migrants and homeless persons during the initial phase of the pandemic
Equity-based policies can mitigate disparities in access to care during the pandemic and reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community by early detection of infective cases. The high proportion of positive test in underserved patients highlight the need to include such groups into future COVID-19 immunization program. More globally, this study highlights the opportunity to reinforce healthcare systems to adapt to new threats and to contribute to…
The well-being of newly regularized migrant workers
Subjective assessments of well-being are becoming routine indicators, considering that material resources are insufficient to capture people's satisfaction with life. Examining the unique situation of undocumented migrant workers, driven by aspirations for a better life but constrained by their limited rights in the country of destination, we assess their satisfaction with life and the factors that matter in their evaluations. Data were collected…
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the Lockdown on the Health and Living Conditions of Undocumented Migrants and Migrants Undergoing Legal Status Regularization
Introduction: Undocumented migrants are at high risk of adverse consequences during crises because of a lack of access to essential securities and sources of support. This study aims to describe the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the health and living circumstances of precarious migrants in Switzerland and to assess whether those undergoing legal status regularization fared better than undocumented migrants. Materials and methods: This cross-se…
