The article examines the legal basis for the organization of local self-government in two federal states — Russia and Argentina. It has been established that these countries have different approaches to the issue of distribution of powers between the federal center and regions in terms of regulating the activities of municipal authorities. This is largely due to the historical features of the development of federalism in Russia and Argentina. A distinctive feature of the Argentine approach is also that some municipalities may independently determine their own municipal regime within constitutionally established limits.

In 1880, following a two-generation-long civil war, Argentina embarked upon a critical period of nation-building, which culminated in the centennial celebrations of 1910. In The Argentine Generation of 1880: Ideology and Cultural Texts, David Foster has commented upon the inconclusiveness of national cultural formation as Argentina turned from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, the uncertainty of how much from the provinces would be incorporated into the elite-constructed culture emanating from the port city of Buenos Aires. The recently published work of Roy Hora, The Landowners of the Argentine Pampas: A Social and Political History 1860-1945, and the work of Tulio Halperin, “The Buenos Aires Landed Class and the Shape of Argentine Politics (1820-1930),” which preceded it, further heighten the significance of provincial-porteño interaction at this point in Argentine history. Halperin and Hora find that during these years, and beyond, the socio-economic and the political elite of Argentina was not a unified whole, but rather two distinctive groups. In the leadership of the socio-economic elite was a landed class based on the estancias of the Argentine pampa and overwhelmingly porteño in character. Provincials dominated the political elite, as the provinces ‘captured’ the federal government in the years following their reunification with the province of Buenos Aires in 1861. Participation in the federal government brought the provincial political elite into contact with the porteño estancieros who dominated the socio-economic elite, as these were almost universally resident in the federal capital. But Roy Hora has described the relationship between the two groups as “problematic.”

AbstractMajor terrorist attacks in Argentina since 1990 have been limited to two bombings in Buenos Aires, which together caused 115 deaths and left at least 555 injured. Following these attacks, national, regional, and local institutions responsible for emergency response in Argentina sought to improve their planning and preparedness for terrorism-related events. In 1996, the national government enacted legislation, which launched the Sistema Federal de Emergencias (SIFEM) or Federal Emergency System under the direction of the president. Since 1997, several of Argentina's major cities have developed emergency plans for terrorism-related events, including intentional biological and chemical releases. Institutional participants in emergency preparedness for terrorism-related events include Emergency Medical Services, hospitals, and the public health system. Remaining challenges include: (1) Improving intra-agency coordination; (2) Improving intra-agency communication; and (3) Improving and expanding emergency response training programs for responders and the general population.

Argentina has been experiencing a long awaited reform of its arbitration legislation. The first step towards modernizing Argentina’s outdated legislation was the inclusion of a chapter relating to the arbitration agreement on a new federal Civil and Commercial Code enacted in 2015. This new legislation did not, however, repeal the existing arbitration provisions of the procedural codes, generating some tension between certain provisions that overlapped providing inconsistent solutions. The new legislation also included some controversial provisions which appear to be at odds with the modernization efforts. During the last year the federal Government promoted a legal reform aim at making the country more arbitration-friendly which address such criticisms and concerns. This article discusses the current legal regime applicable to arbitration in Argentina while addressing the impact that the reform will have if the draft bills that are currently being discussed are adopted.

The article is devoted to the legal and constitutional position of the Federal Parliament in the Republic of Argentina. In it, the author analyses those regulations of the constitution that define the place and role of the legislative body within the presidential system of government. First, the author shows the status of the parliament in the light of the constitutional principles of the system and its relationship with other federal bodies. He then points to the principles of election of the two chambers of parliament, its structure and the implementation of the legislative function. He also tries to show the impact of the 1994 constitutional revision on the political position of the National Congress, which resulted in the introduction of certain elements of the parliamentary system into the political system of Argentina.

The article reviews some special aspects of the legal regulation of the municipal electoral procedure in Argentina. The author studies federal and regional laws of Argentina. The approaches of the Argentinian legislator to some matters differ significantly from the corresponding legal regulation in Russia. In particular, this concerns the participation of foreign citizens in municipal elections, the opportunity to establish regional and municipal political parties. In the author's opinion, the Argentinian experience can be taken into account at updating the laws of the Russian Federation on local self-government and municipal elections.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the approach of the Argentine legislator to determining the legal foundations of the territorial organization of public authority. The work analyzes the norms of the Argentine Constitution, the legislation of the constituent entities of the federation (provinces), materials of law enforcement practice and doctrinal sources. The types of public territorial entities in Argentina, the sources of legal regulation of their status, the influence of the peculiarities of the historical development of the Argentine state on modern approaches to the territorial organization of public authority are explored. Taking into account the federal nature of the Argentine state, the lack of comprehensive studies of the issue of territorial organization of public authority in Argentina, the experience of the studied country seems worthy of attention within the framework of the Russian science of municipal law. It has been established that Argentine legislation provides for the existence of obligatory and optional territorial entities whose status is distinguished, first of all, by the granting of political autonomy to the former. A special feature is the provision of exclusive competence to the provinces in terms of regulating the territorial and other foundations of the organization of municipal authority. When creating municipal territorial entities, provinces establish criteria for the formation of municipalities and also provide for their division into categories. The legal status of municipalities, depending on their classification into one category or another, may differ significantly, especially in terms of the existence of institutional autonomy. The experience of Argentina can be taken into account in the context of reforming the institution of local self-government in Russia.

Full textAbstract:
This study assesses the explanatory power of two competing views about intergovernmental fiscal transfers; one emphasizing the traditional neoclassical approach to federal-subnational fiscal relations and the other suggesting that transfers are contingent on the political fortunes and current political vulnerability of each level of government. These models are tested using data from Argentina, a federation exhibiting one of the most decentralised fiscal systems in the world and severe imbalances in the territorial distribution of legislative and economic resources. Over-represented provinces ruled by governors who belong to parties different to that controlling the national executive can bring into play their representational advantages to attract shares of federal transfers beyond social welfare criteria. This finding suggests that decision makers in federal countries must pay close heed to the need to synchronize institutional reforms and fiscal adjustment.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to review the financing and organization of the Argentine healthcare system, the licensing and drug price setting mechanisms, the benefit packages and coverage policies of pharmaceuticals and other medical technologies, as well as the development of HTA in Argentina, and the role of the Institute of Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS) as an HTA agency. Finally, the perspectives and future of HTA as a tool to make resource-allocation decisions and priority setting in Argentina is discussed.Methods: The study is a discussion/review based largely on the experiences of the authors, but supported by available literature.Results: Argentina is an upper-middle income country with major healthcare problems related to both equity and efficiency. Its healthcare system consists of a multitier system divided in three large sectors: public, social security, and private, where the federal Ministry of Health has a rather limited role in national health policy stewardship. Many of Argentina's shortcomings are due in part to its pluralistic and fragmented healthcare system. In the past decade, Argentina, like many other Latin American countries, has undergone a profound reform of its healthcare system. Whereas some of the objectives of the reforms were specific to each country, a common issue among all of them was to establish a mechanism that ensured a more efficient allocation of scarce resources, and guaranteed a wider provision of healthcare services on the basis of the local population needs and equity. Although some signals from the national government and congress show that there are plans to formally incorporate HTA to inform reimbursement policies, these signals are still very weak. Paradoxically, even though Argentina was the first country in the region to require formal health economic evidence for the adoption of technologies into the mandatory benefit package of the social security, this “fourth hurdle” is no longer required. Nevertheless, there is an increasing interest and demand for a more explicit and transparent resource-allocation process that include HTA as a formal tool to inform decision making, in most of Argentine healthcare stakeholders.Conclusions: In conclusion, what is needed in Argentina is a clear political will to push forward for a national agency of HTA that, similar to other developed countries, advance the regulation on the adoption of new health technologies to improve not only technical or allocative efficiency, but also health equity. Until this milestone is accomplished, the HTA production and use to inform healthcare coverage policies will continue to mirror the current fragmented healthcare system.

Full textAbstract:
In Argentina, during the year 2020, the National Government has implemented numerous and varied assistance, containment and promotion initiatives in key public policy sectors to respond to the crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, provincial and local governments launched their own initiatives to support those emanating from the central level and facilitate the implementation and adaptation of national initiatives in their territories. The citizens, for their part, have adapted to, used or resisted the guidelines and proposals of the executives of the different levels of government. The pandemic scenario (in its different phases) exposes the tension between a centralized logic - typical of the design of initiatives aimed at responding to an emergency - and multilevel governance at a time when it is impossible to ignored that crisis contexts, such as the one imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, strongly stress the relations between the different levels of government and between these and the citizenry. In this context, this paper focuses on intergovernmental relations and examines the initiatives, devices and instruments mobilized by the different levels of government to respond to urban issues in general and housing needs in particular, in the pandemic context, focusing on the initiatives that had habitat and housing as a privileged axis of intervention. The work is based on the analysis of regulations and press material. It also draws on in-depth interviews with public officials and agents from different governmental levels. It presents the composition of the political organization of the Greater Buenos Aires Agglomerate and the political-institutional relations between thedifferent levels of government, as well as a characterization of the focal points for intervention, devices and instruments that made public interventions feasible (especially in the National Government, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires). To conclude, the paper focuses on territorially-based experiences in order to account for the initiatives from a bottom-up perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Human trafficking is the world’s fastest growing global crime, which finally gained its due attention in the late 1990s. This thesis provides a critique of governmental anti-human trafficking efforts, in particular the U.S. Department of State’s Trafficking in Persons Report. Additionally, this thesis focuses on Argentina and its federal capital, as a case study of the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of governmental reports on human trafficking, as well as the contributions made by non-governmental anti-human trafficking efforts. This thesis argues that due to many factors, government corruption being one of the main ones, it is important to be critical of state power and the knowledge it produces surrounding the issue of human trafficking. It is also crucial that governmental anti-human trafficking efforts strengthen coordination and increase collaboration with regional and local NGOs and other non-governmental anti-human trafficking efforts, in order to more effectively fight to eliminate this transnational and international crime.

AbstractIn terms of its Constitution of 1853, Argentina is a federal, republican, and democratic state. It has 24 subnational districts (23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), which has special status) and about 2400 local governments (municipalities and others). Local governments are democratically elected by the citizens, and their autonomy is constitutionally recognised. The legal status of local governments is regulated largely in provincial laws and constitutions, as a result of which they enjoy wide heterogeneity in size, powers, tax capacity, and electoral rules. Despite their limited ability to collect taxes, their chronic impecunity, and their moderate organisational capacity, Argentine local governments play a growing role in political and social life—a fact which was spotlighted during the Covid-19 crisis.

Abstract This chapter examines the political economy of nature and the legacy of Francisco Moreno, scientist and explorer, within ArgentinePatagonia. Moreno is institutionally recognized for a land donation he made to the federalgovernment in 1903, which is celebrated for inaugurating the national park conservation movement. This Moreno-centric official history, however, has rendered invisible state violence and Indigenous dispossession as preconditions of national conservation. Moving beyond this official history of conservation, the discussion highlights two histories of capitalist territorialization. The first focuses on the clearing-out strategy pursued by the Argentine government to open Patagonia for colonization and agrarian capitalism. The second attends to the re-territorialization of space through the creation of national parks and the promotion of leisure capitalism. Using the concept of “the gift” to assess Moreno’s legacy, this chapter shows that the “spirit of the gift”—heralded by the Argentine federal government—is chained to these two projects of capitalist territorialization. These territorialization histories challenge the halcyon representation of Moreno’s gift promoted by the state. Drawing upon scholarship in politicalecology, this study is a contribution to an emerging critical assessment of “the gift” within Patagonian conservation.

This chapter will characterize the production of public policies at the local level, based on the review of works on the subject carried out by academics, provincial and local governments, and public innovation spaces. We structure this work based on the following topics, which have been developed from the decentralization of the 1990s to the present day: first, the degrees of municipal autonomy in the federal regime of government: local governments have exclusive, complementary, and concurrent powers with the federal and provincial levels. However, this municipal autonomy is not a reality in all municipalities because each provincial constitution establishes different degrees of autonomy. Second, the different roles and functions of local levels of government: the decentralization of the 1990s changed municipalities towards an active local government, with an expansion of local functions. Third, local capacities for policy management: in this process of incorporating new roles and functions, municipalities have developed unequal capacities and knowledge for policy making. Fourth, the dominant types of intergovernmental relations in public policies: local governments develop a complex web of intergovernmental relations. We can characterize them according to their political or sectoral sign, horizontal or vertical, and cooperation or conflict.

The National Institute of Public Administration (INAP) of Argentina was founded in 1973. Since then, it has been in charge of both the training of the national state employees and the analysis of public policies, especially related to human resources, staffing, structures, salaries, and applied research on administration and public management. Despite having gone through several changes in its structure, INAP has maintained its role beyond the many macroeconomic and institutional crises and different governments Argentina has experienced in the last five decades. The Institute has thus become an example of persistence in training and research in the public sector, as well as a guide for public offices both at the national and subnational level. This chapter aims to study the history of INAP and its evolution, from its creation until the present day. The main objective is to identify and describe the features that allowed its stability as a leading institution in Argentina. We will also review the production on policy analysis that has been carried out by the institution in the last decade. We will focus on books, working papers, and the scientific journal Estado Abierto, which is currently the main publication on public policy in the country.

This chapter seeks to analyze the knowledge production by the councils and other similar instances at the national level. Traditionally, the process of formulating public policy has been highly focused on executive bodies with strong decisionist patterns from the presidency and the governing party. For this reason, the production of public policies in the legislative bodies in our country rests with the committees of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Thus, there was no stable body of congressional advisors to produce documents, reports, and publications on public policy. The agencies we will take are: the National Council for Quality in Education; the Federal Health Council; the National Council for the Coordination of Social Policies; the Federal Investment Council; and, finally, the Secretariat of Social Security – which has a great academic production on the subject. To this end, we will review the reports, books, working papers, journals, and conferences that these agencies have produced. We will focus on social policies, which are the main policy area of our national government. Finally, from this study we will make a brief state of the art of the production on the country’s four major sectoral policies: social welfare, health, education, and infrastructure.

This chapter analyses the public policy networks in Argentina. As governments grow in complexity, networks appear to be a more relevant subject of study, since the late 1970s. We have selected and studied three public policy networks: the Solidarity Network of Health Professionals, which is dedicated to exchanging medical knowledge about cases of “rare” diseases (which affect a few people compared to the general population); the Municipal Network of Institutional and Administrative Dialogues, which is dedicated to the promotion of administrative modernization and electronic government of the municipalities of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina; and the Network of Dialogue Spaces with the taxpayers of the Federal Administration of Public Revenues, which is dedicated to identify and solve the different complaints of the biggest Argentinian taxpayers. Based on perceptions and personal experiences of the interviewees, we have identified the following points: the main managerial skills of leaders in public policy networks; the different ways in which managers adapt the problems focused by networks; agenda formation; and the network’s learning process as an organization. To do this, we made a qualitative, comparative, and empirical case study of exploratory type. The conclusions can be generalized from an analytical point of view but not statistical.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how the capability approach is being integrated into the policies and priorities of the local government of the federal city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. It first considers three specific insights of the capability approach that are particularly relevant for urban integration policies: multidimensional and multisectoral perspective on policy; an institutionally integrated vision of wellbeing; and agency focus. It then explores each of these insights in the context of urban inequality reduction policies in Buenos Aires. In particular, it analyses the dynamic interaction between youth employment and education in informal settlements, and territorial characteristics; the role of civil society organisations in the dynamics of capability expansion in informal settlements; and the role of culture and religion in promoting agency and capability expansion. The chapter concludes with a summary of some of the features of ‘capability-promoting policy’ in the fragmented and unequal context of the Latin American city.

Full textAbstract:
En América Latina, la implantación del neoliberalismo como sistema económico ha llevado a un
modelo de desarrollo con elevada heterogeneidad y desigualdad socioeconómica. De la mano
de grandes cambios sociales y demográficos, las áreas urbanas experimentaron un acelerado
desarrollo, crecimiento económico desigual en la distribución del ingreso, el aumento del
desempleo y altos niveles de informalidad urbana.
Enmarcado en esta realidad la producción del espacio urbano, se llevó adelante a través de la
gestión de tres actores sociales: 1.el mercado inmobiliario; 2. el Estado nacional y 3. los
asentamientos informales.
De ellos, el estado cumple un rol fundamental en la construcción de la ciudad encauzando o
restringiendo el desarrollo de ciertos espacios ya sea a través de la acción (implementación de
políticas públicas, normativas, etc.) o de la omisión.
En un contexto en el que persiste la ausencia de planificación, la carencia de un marco que
defina el modo de ocupación del territorio, impone la lógica del mercado inmobiliario como
criterio urbanístico principal, incluso para las actuaciones de promoción pública de vivienda.
Ello impacta de modo negativo en la ciudad en la medida que favorece la especulación en
manos del sector privado, produce segregación residencial y desigualdad en el acceso al suelo
puesto que amplios sectores quedan fuera del mercado formal. Lo cual se tradujo en la
conformación de áreas diferenciadas dentro de la ciudad agudizando la separación entre
sectores sociales.
A partir del 2003, en Argentina en virtud al crecimiento económico que se produce con
posterioridad a la crisis 2001-2002, el Estado Nacional retomó los planes de vivienda a fin de
dar solución al problema habitacional haciendo hincapié en programas de relocalización,
radicación y regularización dominial de villas y asentamientos informales, articulando con
trabajo cooperativo que implicaba la intervención una medida conjunta con el problema de
desocupación.
A las existentes políticas habitaciones de construcción de viviendas ejecutadas por los
Institutos Provinciales de Vivienda (IPV), se sumaron un conjunto de políticas sociales que
articulan programas de diversos órdenes, nacional, municipal, provincial y del IPV. (Argentina
Trabaja, Municipio+Cerca, PROMEVI, PROMEBA, etc) enlazando la problemática habitacional
a la social.
Sin embargo estas medidas no revierten el sentido dominante que poseen las políticas públicas
en materia de vivienda (del Río y Duarte, 2012) puesto que la construcción de viviendas sin sustento normativo ni planificación, o la consolidación y regularización de asentamientos
populares en áreas vulnerables, lejos de mitigar las desigualdades existentes, producen
efectos negativos en la ciudad.
En este contexto, este trabajo analiza las consecuencias de las nuevas políticas habitacionales
en el Área Metropolitana de Tucumán (AmeT), a casi 10 años de implementación de un
conjunto de medidas sociales específicas, en teoría tendientes a la equidistribución del acceso
al suelo urbano. In Latin America, the implementation of neoliberalism as an economic system has led to a
development model with high heterogeneity and socioeconomic inequality.
The adoption of policies of liberalization, deregulation and economic flexibility, along with the
withdrawal of the state of urban management, major changes occurred in the cities.
In the hands of great social and demographic change, urban areas experienced rapid
development, uneven economic growth in the distribution of income, rising unemployment and
high levels of urban informality.
Framed in this reality, the production of urban space, was carried out by the management of
three social actors: 1.The real estate market; 2 and 3 the national state informal settlements.
Of these, the state plays a key role in building the city damming or restricting the development
of certain areas either through action (implementation of public policies, regulations, etc.) or
omission.
Therefore, in a context in which the lack of planning continues, the lack of a framework defining
how land occupation imposes the logic of urban real estate market as the main criterion, even
for actions of public housing development.
This impacts negatively on the city to the extent that speculation favors the private sector,
produce residential segregation and inequality in access to land as large sections remain
outside the formal market. Which results in the formation of distinct areas within the city
exacerbating the gap between social sectors.
In Argentina, under the economic growth that occurs after the 2001-2002 crisis, the Federal
Government returned home plans to solve the housing problem but with a twist to the social, to
meet the needs of the most vulnerable sectors of society.
From being solely residential construction (turnkey system) executed by the Provincial Housing
Institutes (IPV), policies will be passed to a set of social policies that articulate programs of
various orders, domestic, municipal, provincial and IPV. (Argentina Works, Municipality + Close,
PROMEVI, PROMEBA Law Pierri implementation of regularization, etc.) that link to social
housing problems.
However, this has not had the expected results in relation to urban problems.
While the need for regional planning was promoted through the PET National and Provincial
(Regional Strategic Plan), all implemented programs were developed without proper management tools to define the criteria for the consolidation and development from the Federal
Government city and thus ended conspiring against it, as a stage of collective life. The lack of
training of local technicians, the use of these programs clientelitas purposes by local politicians
and rampant corruption, contributed to aggravating the observed trends.
This suggests that the construction of new housing or consolidation or regularization of squatter
settlements in vulnerable areas without legal justification and planning, far from mitigating the
inequalities, negative effects on the city.
Under this hypothesis, this paper analyzes the impact of new housing policies in the
Metropolitan Area of Tucumán (AMET), nearly 10 years of implementing a set of tending to the
equal distribution of access to urban land social measures.
It is concluded that the actions taken by the State produced an increase and consolidate the
processes of fragmentation and emerging socio-spatial segregation of Tucuman AMET.

Bonvecchi, Alejandro. The Political Economy of Fiscal Reform in Latin America: The Case of Argentina. Inter-American Development Bank, May 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010935.
Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the political economy of fiscal reform activism in Argentina since the late 1980s. Between 1988 and 2008, tax legislation was changed 83 times, fiscal federal rules 14 times, and budgetary institutions sixteen times. Tax and budgetary reforms moved from centralizing revenue sources and spending authority in the federal government to mild decentralization lately. Fiscal federal rules combined centralization of revenues and management in the federal government with short-term compensations for the provinces. This paper contends that reform activism can be explained by the recurrence of economic and policy shocks while reform patterns may be accounted for as consequences of the decreasing political integration of national parties in a polity whose decisionmaking rules encourage the formation of oversized coalitions. The decrease in political integration weakened the national party leaderships ability to coordinate intergovernmental bargaining, and strengthened the local bosses and factions needed to form oversized coalitions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes sub-national revenues in Argentina. Following a discussion of the recent evolution of government revenues and their vertical imbalance, the paper then analyzes the most important taxes collected by federal, provincial and local governments. Subsequently considered are the determinants of sub-national revenues and the impact of the 2001-2002 crisis. It is found that automatic transfers improve collections of the cascade sales tax and the property tax by enlarging the disposable income of the private and public sector of the provinces favored by the regional redistribution of income, while discretionary transfers reduce own-source revenue effort and encourage public investment. The paper concludes by analyzing options to improve sub-national revenue mobilization and offering specific proposals, particularly in regard to improving the cascade provincial sales tax.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how the main characteristics of Argentinas policymaking process (PMP) affect the productivity of its economy using the conceptual framework presented in Murillo, Scartascini and Tommasi (2008), Stein et al. (2008), Spiller and Tommasi (2007), and IDB (2005). First, the paper complements existing descriptions of the PMP by considering private agents and elaborating on structural characteristics possibly conducive to policymaking instability. Second, the paper illustrates the (negative) impact of Argentinas low-quality and myopic PMP equilibrium on productivity by examining two key areas: provision of infrastructure services and agricultural policy. Finally, the paper explores the PMP at the local level of government (municipalities and local communities), finding that it mimics the flaws observed at the federal level.

Full textAbstract:
This work contains an evaluation of the Non-Reimbursable Funds (ANR) program of the Argentinean Technological Fund (FONTAR), which is managed by a federal government agency. FONTAR's objective is to fund projects presented by private firms that aim at improving their competitive performance through technological innovation activities. The main goal of this evaluation is to analyze the impact of the ANR program on the innovation activities of granted firms. A series of econometric techniques were used to identify the performance impact for firms that have received a subsidy from FONTAR on relevant outcomes, distinguishing this impact from other factors that could also be affecting the performance of a firm.

Full textAbstract:
This report contains an evaluation of the Scientific and Technological Research Projects (PICT) funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Fund (FONCYT). FONCYT is managed by the National Agency of Scientific and Technological Promotion (ANPCYT), an organization that is part of the Argentine federal government. The main function of FONCYT is to support, through the granting of subsidies, research projects aimed at generating scientific or technological knowledge. In order to carry out the evaluation, the authors have taken advantage of a series of econometric techniques that allow them to identify the impact of having received a subsidy from the FONCYT on the academic performance, distinguishing this impact from other factors that could also be affecting the performance of the researchers that are part of both analyzed groups (funded and not funded).

Sajjanhar, Anuradha, and Denzil Mohammed. Immigrant Essential Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Immigrant Learning Center Inc., December 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.54843/dpe8f2.
Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone in the United States, and essential workers across industries like health care, agriculture, retail, transportation and food supply were key to our survival. Immigrants, overrepresented in essential industries but largely invisible in the public eye, were critical to our ability to weather the pandemic and recover from it. But who are they? How did they do the riskiest of jobs in the riskiest of times? And how were both U.S.-born and foreign-born residents affected? This report explores the crucial contributions of immigrant essential workers, their impact on the lives of those around them, and how they were affected by the pandemic, public sentiment and policies. It further explores the contradiction of immigrants being essential to all of our well-being yet denied benefits, protections and rights given to most others. The pandemic revealed the significant value of immigrant essential workers to the health of all Americans. This report places renewed emphasis on their importance to national well-being. The report first provides a demographic picture of foreign-born workers in key industries during the pandemic using U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data. Part I then gives a detailed narrative of immigrants’ experiences and contributions to the country’s perseverance during the pandemic based on interviews with immigrant essential workers in California, Minnesota and Texas, as well as with policy experts and community organizers from across the country. Interviewees include: ■ A food packing worker from Mexico who saw posters thanking doctors and grocery workers but not those like her working in the fields. ■ A retail worker from Argentina who refused the vaccine due to mistrust of the government. ■ A worker in a check cashing store from Eritrea who felt a “responsibility to be able to take care of people” lining up to pay their bills. Part II examines how federal and state policies, as well as increased public recognition of the value of essential workers, failed to address the needs and concerns of immigrants and their families. Both foreign-born and U.S.-born people felt the consequences. Policies kept foreign-trained health care workers out of hospitals when intensive care units were full. They created food and household supply shortages resulting in empty grocery shelves. They denied workplace protections to those doing the riskiest jobs during a crisis. While legislation and programs made some COVID-19 relief money available, much of it failed to reach the immigrant essential workers most in need. Part II also offers several examples of local and state initiatives that stepped in to remedy this. By looking more deeply at the crucial role of immigrant essential workers and the policies that affect them, this report offers insight into how the nation can better respond to the next public health crisis.
