Demographic transformations, labour shortages, and a global health crisis has prompted a critical assessment of the gendered implications of migration in Europe's social care sector. This research paper first analyses sex-disaggregated migration and labour data to examine migration to and within Europe in the social care sector. Next, the paper reviews Europe’s migration, care and employment regimes, complemented by country case studies, to address related gaps and highlight promising practices for gender-responsive migration governance in Europe’s social care sector. Finally, the paper will examine the impacts of COVID-19 on migrant workers in the care sector in Europe.
