Abstract
This article explores how the pandemic has intertwined with immigration issues and the essential labour provided by irregular workers, often referred to as ‘invisible’ workers. It investigates the role the pandemic has played in influencing the approval of regularisation for workers in the agricultural and domestic sectors, and in directing the development of labour migration policies from 2020 to the present. Through an analysis of official documents and semi-structured interviews gathered between 2020 and 2023, the article connects the factors and dynamics of the emergency period with established trends in Italian migration governance, in order to shed light on both the opportunities seized and missed in the regularisation of migrant workers.
