Vulnerabilità sociali e diseguaglianze digitali post pandemia: l’inclusione trascurata dei migranti

Abstract

The pandemic has been an event capable of radicalising trends that were already underway: growth in inequalities, crisis in central and local administrations, crisis in public regulation and essential public services (health, education, training and work), increase in areas of social vulnerability. Recent studies and research clearly confirm the link between social vulnerability, inequalities, exclusion and Covid-19 in the experience of non-Italian citizens, as well as the close connection between exposure to a high risk of contagion and conditions of poverty and social margin- ality, defined as stratification of precariousness linked to the migrant experience. Nevertheless, this specific social vulnerability has not been included in the Pnrr among the individual and collective risk factors on which to intervene to prevent social exclusion, while on the contrary it deserves an investment in national cohe- sion and inclusion plans, since the integration and inclusion of foreigners in Italy is a fundamental building block towards social cohesion in the whole community.
