Abstract

Post-Brexit, UK migration rules treat ‘EU- and non-EU citizens equally’. Thus, a much larger number of working migrants have less access to social rights than before. This article compares how the different welfare entitlements for working migrants and non-migrants affect the incomes of 21 hypothetical households; some workers are single, some have a child. Using micro-simulation, we assess the risk of poverty and the extent of inequality for migrants and non-migrants. We show that the system excludes new migrants from the social contract which defines the rights of UK citizens as working parents, leading to significant poverty risks and inequality.

仅对无子女的技术移民开放:在英国积分移民制度下，有子女的移民工人的贫困风险

英国脱欧后，英国的移民规则将“平等对待欧盟和非欧盟公民”。因此，大量的流动工人享有社会权利的机会比以前少得多。本文比较了农民工和非农民工的不同福利待遇对21个假设家庭收入的影响;一些工人是单身，一些有孩子。通过微观模拟，我们评估了移民和非移民的贫困风险和不平等程度。我们表明，该制度将新移民排除在社会契约之外，而社会契约将英国公民的权利定义为工作父母，从而导致严重的贫困风险和不平等。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
