13. 移民也受到这场大流行病的严重影响。有证件的移民劳动力“在[经济合作与发展组织]国家一些受影响最严重的部门中[……]几乎占到工人总数的30%”。35 然而，由于他们的移民身份，即使身为合法居民，移民工人往往也面临难以言喻的困难，最先失去工作，缺乏在危机时期帮助养家的社会资本。36例如，在中东各地，许多移民工人被雇主抛弃，无家可归，陷入困境，这往往会对女性移民产生更严重的影响。37
13. Migrants have also been heavily affected by the pandemic. The documented migrant workforce makes up “almost 30 per cent of workers in some of the most affected sectors in [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] countries”. 35 Yet, given their migrant status, even when legally resident, migrant workers nevertheless tend to face unspeakable hardships, are among the first to lose their jobs and lack the social capital that helps to sustain households in times of crisis.36 Across the Middle East, for example, many migrant workers were abandoned by their employers and left homeless and stranded, which tended to have an even more severe impact on women migrants.37
