Key workers is a data visualization project designed for ODI – Overseas Development Institute.
The website examples of reforms, new initiatives and campaigns from across the world on migrants’ contributions to the COVID-19 response, in healthcare and beyond. The tracker dataset is publicly available and regularly updated.
"Refugees and other migrants are part of the global workforce of essential workers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic: every day they save lives and contribute to our economies and societies. Yet their contributions can be hidden, their skills undervalued and their rights denied. These examples of reforms, new initiatives and campaigns to recognise and better support migrant essential workers in the COVID-19 response demonstrate that change is possible. It is now on all of us to ensure it will be lasting."
Each dot represents a reform, new initiative or campaign.
Larger branches represent sectors, from healthcare to agriculture. Smaller branches represent levels of action, from the national to the local.
Each tree represents a geographic region.
