How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article provides a constitutional law analysis of the protection of migrants’ social rights in the context of climate and economic instability. The intensification of climate-induced mobility, structural transformations of labour markets, and growing economic volatility generate new forms of vulnerability that directly affect the effective enjoyment of social and labour rights. Although international standards on the protection of migrant workers and the doctrine of positive state obligations have evolved significantly, the integration of climate-related factors into the constitutional framework of the social state remains insufficiently conceptualised. The study aims to examine the evolution of international and national approaches to migrants’ social rights and to identify constitutional mechanisms capable of strengthening their protection under conditions of systemic crisis. It concludes that climate and economic vulnerability must be incorporated into the interpretation of the principles of the social state and material equality.
