Davies, Cathryn, ‘A fairer pathway? How the “earned settlement” proposals risk discriminating against migrant women’, Free Movement, 5 February 2026.
Abstract
We are hurtling towards the deadline for the government’s “earned settlement” consultation, ‘A Fairer Pathway to Settlement‘, which closes on 12 February 2026. Whilst there are many elements of the proposals which certainly cannot be considered “fair” to migrants living and providing meaningful contributions to the UK, there is one group that will certainly be disadvantaged should the proposals come to fruition: migrant women.
