IHSP POLICY TALKS: The Impact of COVID on Immigrant and Racialized Communities in Montreal
Ìý
Speakers: Jill Hanley & Janet Cleveland, Sherpa University Institute on Migration, Health and Social Services, Ã山ǿ¼é
November 3rd (12:30-13:30)
The talk presents the findings of a study on the impacts of the COVID crisis on vulnerable groups within Montreal's immigrant and racialized communities. In April-May 2020, interviews were conducted with 50 key informants from community groups providing services to newcomers and ethnocultural associations in Montreal. Findings suggest that the COVID crisis disproportionately affects racialized groups with certain characteristics, including low SES, precarious migratory status, non-English or French speaking, or employment in the health sector or certain other ‘essential’ sectors.
