Objective:

Results:

Of which 9 articles (3%) analyzed the relationship between the migratory status and the use of services, 3 articles (1%) addressed the issue with a binational vision and 2 articles (1%) was directed to the use of services in female migrants. I do not know how to find any application that addresses economic barriers.
