Summary

Migrant women represent around 46% of the migrant population in Europe (Eurostat, 2018). When they arrive in Europe, they face additional obstacles to integration compared to migrant men, often having to overcome structural barriers linked to their being both a migrant and female, including facing stereotypes (EC, 2020). While migrant men usually arrive alone, women more often join as a family member at a later stage, and are not considered as INDIVIDUALS but as a part of a FAMILY. This leads to their exclusion or limited access to integration support measures, skill assessments, training (Eurodiaconia, 2018:7) and with no competences, they are precluded from finding good jobs. Moreover, the COVID-19 crisis had a substantial impact on the EU labour market, with many workers losing their jobs or being placed under short-term work schemes. This makes the employment situation of migrant women more and more difficult.
