“…For this reason, future research and strategies are needed to continue to standardize and collect HHRs indicators ( WHO 2017 ) and harmonize education and practice requirements ( Frenk et al., 2010 , Koff, 2017 , Palese et al., 2014 ). Other significant challenges are a limited understanding of macro-level factors, including gender inequalities, affecting the development of HHRs, which could pose further challenges to accurate HW forecasting and planning strategies ( V. Gunn et al., 2019 , George et al., 2017 , V. Gunn et al., 2019 , V. Gunn et al., 2019 , Newman, 2014 , Squires et al., 2016 ).…”

“…This increased vulnerability of migrant workers stems from a combination of factors including their disproportionately high representation in (i) front-line and entry-level jobs, (ii) precarious employment that involves low pay and several casual or part-time jobs at multiple health institutions, and (iii) health sectors—such as long-term care—that are severely affected by the pandemic due to years of neglect, chronic health provider shortages, understaffing, lack of investments in staff training, and shortages of protection equipment ( H. Dempster and Smith, 2020 , Mbiba et al., 2020 , Stoichet, 2020 , Canadian Nurses Association, 2020 , Ghazal et al., 2019 ). Moreover, gender inequalities and care ethics affecting the overall health care workforce ( V. Gunn et al., 2019 , Rossiter and Godderis, 2020 , Tronto, 2015 ) engaged in the pandemic response efforts also affect migrant health care workers, who are in majority women, further complicating their employment situation. Not surprisingly, migrant HWs experience higher rates of coronavirus infections and worse health outcomes ( D.S.…”

The main purpose of this article is to review several ways in which health care workers could either impact migrant health or be directly impacted by migration and, based on this, suggest the expansion of the current research agenda on migration and health to address a range of topics that are currently either neglected, insufficiently researched, or researched from different perspectives. To ground this suggestion and emphasize the complexity and significance of migrant health research, we start by briefly reviewing several migration-related notions including the process of migration and its key facilitators and benefits; existing barriers to the provision of migrant health care; and the intricate links between health systems, health professionals, and migrant health. The three areas of research examined in this article address (i) the specific role of health workers in providing care to migrants and refugees and their capacity to do so, (ii) the health problems experienced by health workers who become migrants or refugees, and (iii) the precarious employment conditions experienced by both migrant and non-migrant health care workers. After summarizing the current available evidence on these topics, we discuss key information gaps and strategies to address them, while also incorporating several relevant COVID-19 pandemic considerations and research implications. Expanding the focus of research studies on migration and health could not only enhance the results of current strategies by supplying additional information to support their implementation but also spearhead the development of new solutions to the migrant health problem.

“…Specifically, for this study, a panel regression analysis can measure how policy measures, such as labour laws and societal shifts, including more women choosing to study STEM disciplines, have impacted the level of female participation in transport-related professions during the decade studied. For similar reasons, panel data analysis has been used in existing studies that explain gender differences in the workforce across countries (Gunn et al, 2019;Olivetti, 2014;Charles, 2003). A random effects model was used in order to understand the differences between countries and within countries over time.…”

“…Bukht et al (2017) obtained statistical investigations on the topic, and Ahmad et al (2019) proposed analytical frameworks for measuring the digital divide. The more recent investigations conduct their studies on the large sets of variables where they perform cross-sectional analysis or time-series analysis (Gunn et al, 2019).…”

Background: Information and communication technologies (ICTs) gained prevalent organizational and structural value in the modern economy. E-commerce is one of the sectors directly influenced by technological change. However, not all countries have the same opportunities to develop e-commerce growth; there are significant discrepancies in ICT utilization worldwide, known as the digital divide. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to explore the level of difference among European countries regarding the e-commerce functionalities in their enterprises using a cluster analysis. Methods/Approach: To accomplish the paper goal, the k-means cluster analysis was conducted on the Eurostat data from 2019. Enterprises from 28 European countries were taken into consideration. The Kruskal-Wallis test is used to explore if the differences among clusters regarding the digital development, measured by the Digital Economy and Society Index are significant. Results: The investigation confirmed that there are significant differences among European countries regarding the development of e-commerce. However, a similar level of e-commerce is not related to economic and digital development. Conclusions: Since the relationship between economic development and e-commerce development in European countries is not linear, country-level policies are likely to be significant factors driving e-commerce development, which leads to the need for further investigation of this issue.
