Dieser Umstand betrifft nicht nur die Zuwanderer selbst, sondern hat auch Bestand in den nachfolgenden Generationen.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic had consequences for the whole society, like during most crises, some population groups tended to be disproportionally affected. We rely on the most recent data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees to explore the resilience or vulnerability of refugees in the face of the pandemic.
