Sorry, we’re closed: regular migration from Africa to Europe  

 

23 June, 3.00 pm – 4.00 pm CEST
The coronavirus pandemic is having a profound impact on global migration and mobility trends. Travel restrictions have already jeopardised the arrival to Europe of tens of thousands of seasonal workers in the agricultural sector. European countries have tried to cope with the new reality of lower regular migration by launching some temporary regularizations of undocumented foreigners, but many challenges remain. In turn, African countries risk losing part of the 48 billion dollars a year in international remittances.

How will lockdowns and travel restrictions affect regular and, in particular, labour migration within and between the two continents?
