Abstract/Summary

English abstract: This Policy Brief presents an overview of the situation of the immigrant population in Spain during Covid-19 Pandemic, as well as the political measures taken at different governance levels in order to address it. Analysis of data from the Spanish Institute of Statistics shows the Covid-19 Pandemic severely affected the physical and mental health, as well as the economic situation of immigrants living in Spain. The policy of protection based on "regular work" adopted by the Spanish government left many immigrants, especially the most vulnerable, unprotected. Spanish abstract: Este Policy Brief muestra una panorámica general de la situación de la población inmigrante en España durante la Pandemia Covid-19 y de las medidas políticas adoptadas en diferentes niveles administrativos para hacer frente a esta crisis. El análisis de datos procedentes del Instituto Nacional de Estadística señala cómo la Pandemia Covid-19 afectó gravemente, tanto a la situación económica de los inmigrantes, como a su salud física y mental. Las políticas de protección social atendieron especialmente a las personas con trabajos regulares dentro de la economía formal dejando a muchos inmigrantes en situación de desprotección social, especialmente a los más vulnerables.
