Descrizione del progetto
Il rimpatrio dei migranti intracomunitari: l’impatto post-Brexit e le determinanti sociali della salute
Lo studio RETORNO, finanziato dall’UE, intende esaminare come la Brexit potrebbe condizionare le questioni sociali e sanitarie per i migranti rimpatriati tra il Regno Unito e la Spagna. Le politiche di migrazione intracomunitaria interagiscono con le determinanti sociali della salute, comprese le condizioni in cui le persone nascono, crescono, vivono, lavorano e invecchiano. Tali condizioni variano a seconda di come le politiche distribuiscono denaro, potere e risorse, il che ha delle ripercussioni sulla salute delle persone. Adoperando una metodologia di revisione innovativa combinata con workshop di co-produzione per le parti interessate (tra cui ONG, rappresentanze diplomatiche e responsabili politici), il progetto si prefigge di svelare i meccanismi e i fattori contestuali (ovvero, interventi o politiche di natura specifica) che danno origine a disuguaglianze sanitarie, concentrandosi su quelle legate al genere. Questo studio fornirà una teoria empirica dipendente dal contesto su come migliorare le condizioni di salute dei migranti intracomunitari rimpatriati.
Obiettivo
Migration policies in EU countries interact with structural social determinants of health (unemployment, social/health insurance, housing provision, pension schemes), unequal social structures (gender, ethnicity, class), intermediary social determinants (working and living conditions, health and social care systems) and social cohesion/capital. Consequently, return migration’ interventions for social determinants of health (SDH) may work well in one context to reduce social health inequalities but inadequately in others.
This study will develop an evidence-based context-sensitive theory of how intra-EU returned migrants’ health could be improved using the case study of return migration between the UK and Spain post-Brexit referendum. It will aim to explore how Brexit could affect health and social care services provision for returned migrants and the implications for different stakeholders (migrant NGOs, Embassies/Consulates, health and social care staff, policy makers); to classify interventions for SDH to understand for whom, under what circumstances, in what respects and why they may impact returned migrants health inequalities; to identify contextual factors and main mechanisms triggered by interventions and how these impact health outcomes, focusing on gender inequalities; and to provide a co-produced theory on how public policies may impact EU citizens after residing in other EU member states.
The study will use an innovative realist synthesis methodology with nested co-production stakeholder workshops in five methodological phases: 1) Consolidate scope; 2) search for evidence; 3) appraise studies and extract data; 4) synthesize evidence and draw conclusions; 5) disseminate, implement and evaluate. Anticipated findings will provide policy makers with stronger evidence to support future national and European policies based on complex changing socio-economic realities that impact EU returned migrants’ health, while adding to migration movements´ theory.
