Recently published special issue from International Journal of Human Rights in Healthcare: Health inequalities and migrants: Accessing healthcare as a global human right

About the special issue:
Today, with 1 billion migrants globally, migrant health and equity to healthcare is more important than ever. In this special issue, migrants are defined as all individuals born outside their country of residence and therefore encompasses a diversity of migrants, including asylum seekers, refugees as well as documented and undocumented economic migrants, and ranges from individuals who have recently settled in their country of residence, to those who have been resident for many years.
Migration has become a social determinant of health and migrants may face barriers in accessing appropriate levels of health care, which may be detrimental to public health. For example, barriers for migrant workers to accessing health care have been found to include economic and language barriers, incompatibility with work schedules and fear of losing employment or deportation.
This special issue in the International Journal of Human Rights in Healthcare looks to contribute to the understanding of the impact of migration factors, interacting with ethnicity and socio-demographic factors, on the health outcomes, needs and barriers to the healthcare of migrants.

About:
Southern European countries (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal) were most impacted by the 2009 financial crisis, given that there were neither primary social safety nets for those unable to meet their needs through market or family settings, nor supplementary policies in case of specific health and social care needs. The Mediterranean social protection model was strongly fragmented, and public spending was focused on civil servant's salaries and state pensions.
The active implementation of health and social care rights during the economic recession in least advanced social protection regimes is a key challenge for national and international policy makers, particularly for International Organizations active in this field, as UN, WHO, Council of Europe and the EU.
This special issue aims to:
* Highlight the impact of poverty and social exclusion on the machinery of health and social care rights;
* Highlight the interplay between the human rights and capabilities approach and the fiscal surveillance approach within the Mediterranean social protection model;
* Provide commentary and research on the issues at hand, but within the broader framework of social rights;
* Identify learning points and highlight future trends in research, policy and practice.
List of anticipated themes include:
* Comparative overviews about the active implementation of health and social care rights during the economic recession in the Mediterranean regimes;
* National contributions on Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal about:
* The regulation of the health and social care rights during the economic recession
* Poverty and healthcare
* Social classes, economics and access to health and social care
* Policy makers and what drives reforms
* Evidence of the economic impact on health and social care.
The journal welcomes papers which use varied approaches, including Literature reviews, discussion of theory, comparative studies, systematic evaluation of interventions, analysis of qualitative data and study of health and social care institutions and the political process.
