This event on migrant vulnerability and social protection, takes place at Nelson Mandela University, South Africa on Tuesday 6 September. This is the culmination of an ongoing research project being organised by Evance Kalula, Marius Olivier and Avinash Govindjee within the framework of the STIAS (Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study).

The workshop has a Southern African focus, but also contains comparative reflections. The three sub-themes concern three particular migrant categories who are exposed to vulnerability in relation to their access to social protection. They are:

People who migrate as a result of climate or environmental change
Migrants in the informal economy
Skilled professionals
