[en] In a context of increased migration and overexposure of mobile individuals to social risks, the social protection of diaspora populations has become an area of concern across Europe. However, there is still substantial variation in how EU Member States respond to the needs of their nationals residing abroad. Such variation is also observed in the emergency measures that European countries have adopted for their non-resident nationals in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. This presentation focuses on EU states’ policy (re)actions affecting the diaspora, from travel restrictions and repatriation initiatives to consular assistance in host countries and specific measures adopted for returnees.
