Priseljenci in pandemija v vodilni regiji severne Italije: vprašanje položaja

This paper examines the impact of the pandemic on immigrants in one of the most economically developed areas in Northern Italy. Using a qualitative approach, the author highlights the effects on the traditional dimensions of inclusion (work and housing) and the perspectives of the younger generations (education and transition to adulthood). The results indicate how the weak social positioning of immigrants strongly and selectively conditioned their response to the pandemic. The study also revealed the intense erosion of immigrants’ social capital and the need for strategies to strengthen it.Članek obravnava vpliv pandemije na priseljence na enem izmed gospodarsko najrazvitejših območij v severni Italiji. S kvalitativnim pristopom avtor je izpostavil tako učinke na tradicionalne dimenzije vključenosti, kot sta delo in stanovanje, kot tudi perspektive mlajših generacij, kot sta izobraževanje in prehod v odraslost. Rezultati so pokazali, da je slab socialni položaj priseljencev močno in selektivno vplival na njihov odziv na pandemijo. Študija je pokazala tudi na močno erozijo socialnega kapitala priseljencev ter na potrebo po strategijah za njegovo krepitev
