Book Synopsis Brokering Circular Labour Migration by : Huey Shy Chau
Download or read book Brokering Circular Labour Migration written by Huey Shy Chau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the commercialisation of domestic and care work through private agencies that organise transnational care arrangements by brokering migrant workers. The book focuses on the emergence of private for-profit home care agencies following the 2011 extension of the Free Movement of Workers to Eastern European Countries agreement in Switzerland. The agencies recruit migrant women from these countries and place them in private households for elderly care. This book explores how circular labour migration for these care workers is facilitated. In the form of a mobile ethnography, it traces their journey from Eastern European countries to Switzerland – from when care workers find employment and are recruited by agencies to when they arrive at their designated households. From the agencies’ analytical standpoint, the book examines the recruitment and placement practices of the home care agencies and their role in facilitating migration. Brokering Labour Migration offers an understanding of new migration patterns and highlights fundamental changes in migration control with the extension of free movement of workers in Switzerland to lower-wage countries in Eastern Europe. It will be an invaluable resource for academics and scholars of geography, anthropology, sociology, and gender and migration.

Book Synopsis The Migration Industry in Asia by : Michiel Baas
Download or read book The Migration Industry in Asia written by Michiel Baas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pivot considers the emergence and functioning of the migration industry and commercialization of migration pathways in Asia. Grounded in extensive fieldwork and building on empirical data gathered through interactions and interviews with brokers, agents and other facilitators of migration, it examines the increasing co-dependence on, entanglement of and overlap between migrants, industry and state. It considers how for low-skilled migrants, migration is often not even possible without the involvement of the industry. As the opportunity to migrate has opened up to an ever-widening group of potential migrants, receiving nations have fine-tuned their migration infrastructure and programs to facilitate the inflow (and timely outflow) of the migrants it deems desirable. The migration industry plays an active role as mediator between migrants’ desires and states' requirements. This pivot focuses on what unites sending and receiving sides of migration, going beyond presupposed established networks, and offering a clear conceptualization of the contemporary migration industry in Asia.
Book Synopsis Impact of Circular Migration on Human, Political and Civil Rights by : Carlota Solé
Download or read book Impact of Circular Migration on Human, Political and Civil Rights written by Carlota Solé and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the topic of circular migration with regard to its multiple dimensions and human, political and civil rights implications from a global perspective. It combines theoretical and empirical studies and presents different case studies illustrating circular migration patterns and policies in different world regions. Circular migration processes – understood as the back-and-forth movement of people between countries and regions- form part of the changing nature of migration movements across the world at the beginning of the 21st century. Over the past decades, international, regional and internal migration flows have shown a quantitative increase and have changed in scope, context, origin and nature. Migration projects are every time more open-ended, multi-directional and flexible and often include some type of circularity. Instead of mere “push-pull-scenarios”, people migrate for many different reasons, including personal, family, professional, academic or political ones. In the 21st century migration journeys and the reasons underlying them are multiple and more diverse than ever before.

Book Synopsis Circular Migration and the Rights of Migrant Workers in Central and Eastern Europe by : Zvezda Vankova
Download or read book Circular Migration and the Rights of Migrant Workers in Central and Eastern Europe written by Zvezda Vankova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book adopts a rights-based approach to shed light on the different legal and policy instruments that have been developed to implement circular migration policies in the EU, and their consequences for the rights of migrant workers. It contributes to the understanding of the meaning of this concept in general and in the EU, as well as specifically regarding its Eastern neighborhood. The book provides a comprehensive picture of the formation and implementation of the EU’s circular migration approach that has developed through both EU and national instruments, on the basis of comparative case study analysis of Bulgaria and Poland’s migration laws and policies. By applying empirical legal research methods, it draws conclusions about the policy outcomes from the implementation of the various migration instruments falling under the circular migration umbrella and shows the consequences for the rights of migrant workers as a result of the application of different policy options. Along with its value to an academic audience, the book can be used by policy makers at the EU, international and national levels, as well as by international organisations and NGOs working in the field of migration law and policy.
Book Synopsis Bangladeshi Migration to Singapore by : Md Mizanur Rahman
Download or read book Bangladeshi Migration to Singapore written by Md Mizanur Rahman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines international labour migrants in the context of South–South migration with a focus on Bangladeshi migration to Singapore. Two principal questions in the South–South migration are addressed: Why and how individuals migrate for work; and what impact this temporary form of migration has for migrants and their families. The book adopts a relatively new methodological approach to labour migration by linking different phases that migrants undergo in the migration process and by combining migrants in the host country with their families in the origin country. This is achieved through identifying and addressing six key areas: (i) migration policy, (ii) social imperatives of migration (iii) recruitment, (iv) social worlds of the migrants, (v) remittance process, and finally, (vi) family development dynamics. This book introduces the bari to migration research as a unit of analysis over and above individual and family units. The book reveals how social and cultural forces both initiate and perpetuate migration, and later on influence bari dynamics.

Book Synopsis Gender, Temporary Work, and Migration Management by : Djemila Zeneidi
Download or read book Gender, Temporary Work, and Migration Management written by Djemila Zeneidi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into migration management via an original case study of a guest worker programme involving the circular migration to Spain of female Moroccan agricultural workers destined for the strawberry agri-food industry in the south. To ensure that they do return to Morocco, mothers of young children are first earmarked and then selected on the basis of their poor, rural origins and the supposed "delicacy of their hands". This book analyses the mechanisms through which migration and workforces are controlled, while also addressing the paradoxical experience of these female seasonal workers, at the intersection of domination and emancipation.
Book Synopsis Labour Migration in Europe Volume I by : Francesca Fauri
Download or read book Labour Migration in Europe Volume I written by Francesca Fauri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Fauri and Tedeschi bring together contributions that outline the movement of job seekers and ethnic minority entrepreneurs in Europe, to analyse the overall impact of different forms of migration on European economies in the last 100 years. Contributions address a broad range of themes, from the motivations of migrants and the process of their integration into their destination country, to their overall social and economic impact onto said country at a structural level. In addressing questions as to why some ethnic groups seem to compete more successfully in business, as well as addressing questions about how skilled labour can be attracted and retained, this volume forms part of a very important multidisciplinary dialogue on labour migration. The policy implications of answering such questions are also discussed, as contributors ultimately examine whether skills-dependent migration policy needs to form part of a common strategy, either at a national or an international level.
Book Synopsis Temporary Labour Migration in the Global Era by : Joanna Howe
Download or read book Temporary Labour Migration in the Global Era written by Joanna Howe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global era, controversies abound over temporary labour migration; however, it has not previously been subjected to a sustained socio-legal analysis on a comparative basis, critiquing the underpinning concepts conventionally accepted as fundamental in this area. This collection of essays aims to fill that void. Complex regulatory challenges arise from temporary labour migration. This collection examines these challenges and the extent to which temporary labour migration programmes can be ethical, equitable and efficacious and so deliver decent work for workers. Whilst the tendency for migration law to divide labour law's worker-protective mission has been observed before, the authors of the chapters comprising this collection seek not only to interrogate why and how this is so, but to go further in examining the implications and effects of a wide range of regulatory mechanisms on temporary labour migration.

Book Synopsis Defining and Measuring Circular Migration by : United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
Download or read book Defining and Measuring Circular Migration written by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circular migration – a repetition of migration by the same person between two or more countries – is a topic of growing importance, on which information is needed for policy development. To meet this demand, there is a need to establish an international statistical definition of what circular migration is and how it can be measured and compared between different reporting countries.This publication presents the results of the work of the UNECE Task Force on Measuring Circular Migration in addressing this need, including a proposal for a common international statistical definition of circular migration. Key definitions of international migration statistics and already-existing definitions of circular migration are analyzed as are five dimensions of circular migration: repetition of move (frequency), directionality, duration, purpose or reason for move, and developmental impact. The report presents proposals for a statistical definition of circular migration while also identifying several important challenges in measuring circular migration, such as measuring short-term migration and measuring a series of events within a specific period as a single statistic. Practical applications of the proposed definitions are presented with examples from Italy and Sweden.
Book Synopsis Constructing and Imagining Labour Migration by : Sandra Mantu
Download or read book Constructing and Imagining Labour Migration written by Sandra Mantu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour migration has been on the agenda of many countries around the globe at the same time as governments of both sending and receiving countries have been trying to develop regulatory mechanisms. This book opens the debate on the global politics of labour migration by proposing a re-assessment of the interaction between states regarding labour migration. Presenting case-specific scholarship from leading experts from five different continents, each contribution engages with the changing landscape of migration control and teases out emerging control patterns, dynamics and correlations that can be made between them and existing control paradigms. The multidisciplinary and global focus in 'Constructing and Imagining Labour Migration' sheds much needed light on the mechanisms deployed by states in their attempts to control labour migration and on the manner in which these mechanisms impact upon migrants themselves, leaving some caught up in the politics of labour market control

Book Synopsis Governing International Labour Migration by : Christina Gabriel
Download or read book Governing International Labour Migration written by Christina Gabriel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical examination of the way in which the nature and governance of international labour migration is changing within a globalizing environment. It examines how labour mobility and the governance of labour migration are changing by exploring the links between political economy and differentiated forms of labour migration. Additionally, it considers the effects of new social models of inclusion and exclusion on labour migration. Therefore, the book troubles the conventional dichotomies and categorizations – permanent vs. temporary; skilled vs. unskilled; legal vs. illegal -- that have informed migration studies and regulatory frameworks. Theoretically, this volume contributes to an ongoing project of reframing the study of migration within politics and international relations. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, drawing on examples from the European Union, North America and Asia, Governing International Labour Migration will be of interest to students and scholars of migration studies, IPE, international relations, and economics.
