Singapore Sling - En cocktail av diskriminering : En jämförande studie av diskriminering av migrantarbetare under covid-19 pandemin utifrån T.H Marshalls teorier om medborgarrättigheter

The study investigates the discrimination of migrant workers in Singapore during the Covid-19 pandemic. The singaporian government applied different pandemic restrictions for migrant workers in contrast with other visa holders during the whole pandemic, ranging from quarantines to pass applications. By using the theories of T.H Marshall as an analytical tool, a comparison is made how different restrictions affected both migrant workers and other visa holders. The study shows that migrant workers were severely discriminated against by the singaporian government during the pandemic, and that in all analytical categories studied they were worse off than the compared group. The study also shows that Marshall’s theory of social rights appeared appropriate for the analysis, but needed slight developments to be applied correctly for the purposes of the study.
