项目摘要

1.2 Scientific/technical summary (max. 250 words)COVID-19 has exposed the UK's socio-economic dependence on a chronically insecure migrantessential workforce. While risking their lives to offset the devastating effects of the pandemic,migrant workers reportedly find themselves in precarious professional and personal circumstances(temporary zero-hours contracts, work exploitation, overcrowded accommodation, limited accessto adequate health/social services including Universal Credit). This project will investigate thehealth, social, economic and cultural impacts of COVID-19 on the migrant essential workforce andhow these might impact on their continued stay in the UK. It will focus on the largest non-Britishnationality in the UK, the Polish community, who - while employed across a range of roles andsectors - are overrepresented in lower-paid essential work. We will use this group as an illustrativecase study to make wider claims and policy recommendations about migrant work during thepandemic. Using a mixed-methods approach, we will conduct: an online survey to map COVID-19impacts; in-depth qualitative interviews to establish how the pandemic has affected worker's lives;and expert interviews with stakeholders to investigate how to best support and retain migrantessential workers in COVID-19 recovery strategies. The results will generate the firstcomprehensive UK-wide dataset on the experiences of migrant essential workers against thebackdrop of COVID-19. The research, co-produced with partner organisations (Polish ExpatsAssociations, Fife Migrants Forum, PKAVS Minority Communities Hub and Polish Social andCultural Association), will generate a policy briefing, a toolkit for employers in the essential worksectors, information resources for migrant workers, alongside media and academic outputs.

1.2 科学/技术摘要（最多 250 个字）COVID-19 暴露了英国社会经济对长期缺乏保障的移民基本劳动力的依赖。据报道，在冒着生命危险抵消这一流行病的破坏性影响的同时，移民工人发现自己的职业和个人状况都不稳定（临时零工时合同、工作剥削、住宿过度拥挤、获得包括普遍信贷在内的充足健康/社会服务的机会有限）。该项目将调查 COVID-19 对移民基本劳动力的健康、社会、经济和文化影响，以及这些影响如何影响他们继续留在英国。它将重点关注英国最大的非英国民族，即波兰社区，他们虽然从事各种角色和行业，但在低薪基本工作中所占比例过高。我们将以这个群体作为说明性案例研究，对大流行期间的农民工提出更广泛的主张和政策建议。我们将采用混合方法进行：一项在线调查，以绘制 COVID-19 的影响；深入的定性访谈，以确定大流行如何影响工人的生活；以及与利益相关者的专家访谈，以调查如何在 COVID-19 恢复策略中最好地支持和留住移民必要工人。研究结果将生成第一个全英国范围内关于 COVID-19 背景下移民基本工人经历的综合数据集。该研究与合作组织（波兰侨民协会、法伊夫移民论坛、PKAVS 少数民族社区中心和波兰社会文化协会）共同制作，将生成一份政策简报、为基本工作部门雇主提供的工具包、为移民工人提供的信息资源以及媒体和学术成果。
