Book Synopsis Migrant Workers in Russia by : Anna-Liisa Heusala
Download or read book Migrant Workers in Russia written by Anna-Liisa Heusala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia has a very large pool of economic migrants, up to 25% of the workforce according to some estimates. Although many migrants, many from former Soviet countries which are now independent, entered Russia legally, they frequently face bureaucratic obstacles to legal employment and Russian citizenship, factors which have led to a very large “shadow economy”. This book presents a comprehensive examination of migrant labour in Russia. It describes the nature of migrant labour, explores the shadow economy and its unfortunate consequences, and discusses the rise of popular sentiment against migrants and the likely impact. The book also sets the Russian experiences of migrant labour in context, comparing the situation in Russia with that in other countries with significant migrant labour workforces.

Book Synopsis "Are You Happy to Cheat Us?" by : Human Rights Watch (Organization)
Download or read book "Are You Happy to Cheat Us?" written by Human Rights Watch (Organization) and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 2009 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Russia is home to an estimated 4 to 9 million migrant workers, over 40 percent of whom work in the construction industry. Large numbers of Russia's migrant construction workers, who overwhelmingly come from other countries of the former Soviet Union in search of steady work and decent wages, suffer abuses ranging from non-payment of wages, excessively long working hours, physical and psychological abuse, and unsafe working conditions. In the worst cases, migrant workers have been trafficked from their home countries into forced labor in Russia. Employers routinely refuse to provide migrant workers with written employment contracts, as required under Russian law, making workers especially vulnerable to wage violations and other abuses and limiting their ability to access official avenues of redress. Many migrant workers also suffer abuse at the hands of police and other officials. Police regularly target ethnic minorities, including migrant workers, for petty extortion, as well as in some instances physical abuse and harassment. Russia deserves credit for liberalizing some of its migration laws in recent years. However, the authorities have not done enough to ensure protection of migrant workers from abuse, including from private actors. Russia must protect all victims of abuse irrespective of contractual or migration status. The government should ensure rigorous labor inspections, prosecution of abusive employers, and effective regulation of employment agencies and other intermediaries. It should also develop accessible complaint mechanisms for victims and timely and effective investigations into allegations of abuse. In addition, further reform in migration law is necessary to allow workers to more easily regularize their stay, making them less vulnerable to abuse, and more likely to seek protection from state agencies."--Page 4 of cover.
Book Synopsis Labour, Mobility and Informal Practices in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe by : Rano Turaeva
Download or read book Labour, Mobility and Informal Practices in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe written by Rano Turaeva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the daily survival strategies of people within the context of failed states, flourishing informal economies, legal uncertainty, increased mobility, and globalization, where many people, who are forced by the circumstances to be innovative and transnational, have found their niches outside formal processes and structures. The book provides a thorough theoretical introduction to the link between labour mobility and informality and comprises convincing case studies from a wide range of post-socialist countries. Overall, it highlights the importance of trust, transnational networks, and digital technologies in settings where the rules governing economic and social activities of mobile workers are often unclear and flexible.

Download or read book Wandering Workers written by Juri Plusnin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book offers a fresh perspective on the issue of contemporary migratory labor, otkhodnichestvo, in Russia -- the temporary departure of inhabitants from small towns and villages for short-term jobs in the major cities of Russia. Although otkhodnichestvo is a mass phenomenon, it is not reflected in official economic statistics.Based on numerous interviews with otkhodniks and local experts, this stunningly original work focuses on the central and northern regions of European Russia. The authors draw a social portrait of the contemporary otkhodnik and offer a sociological assessment of the economic and political status these 'wandering workers' live with.
Book Synopsis Migration and Hybrid Political Regimes by : Rustamjon Urinboyev
Download or read book Migration and Hybrid Political Regimes written by Rustamjon Urinboyev and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. While migration has become an all-important topic of discussion around the globe, mainstream literature on migrants' legal adaptation and integration has focused on case studies of immigrant communities in Western-style democracies. We know relatively little about how migrants adapt to a new legal environment in the ever-growing hybrid political regimes that are neither clearly democratic nor conventionally authoritarian. This book takes up the case of Russia—an archetypal hybrid political regime and the third largest recipients of migrants worldwide—and investigates how Central Asian migrant workers produce new forms of informal governance and legal order. Migrants use the opportunities provided by a weak rule-of-law and a corrupt political system to navigate the repressive legal landscape and to negotiate—using informal channels—access to employment and other opportunities that are hard to obtain through the official legal framework of their host country. This lively ethnography presents new theoretical perspectives for studying immigrant legal incorporation in similar political contexts.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Unfree Labour in Russia by : Mary Buckley
Download or read book The Politics of Unfree Labour in Russia written by Mary Buckley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How, and why, did human trafficking out of Russia escalate at the beginning of the twenty-first century? Why did some labour migrants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan find happy work situations in Russia whereas others became trapped in forced labour? This book focuses on human trafficking out of the Russian Federation since the collapse of the Soviet state and on labour migration into it from Central Asia, and on some internal movement. It looks at the socio-economic reasons behind labour flows and examines key social, political, legislative and policy responses. Discussion includes how the Russian press covers these topics and what politicians, experts and the public think about them. Based on interviews, polls and focus groups in Russia, this book is rich in original research which highlights different Russian perspectives on exploitation in unfree labour. It gives examples of entrapment in prostitution, construction work, on farms, and in begging rings.
Book Synopsis Chinese Migrants in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe by : Felix B. Chang
Download or read book Chinese Migrants in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe written by Felix B. Chang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the former Soviet bloc has become a destination for new Chinese migrants. Throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Chinese migrants are engaged in entrepreneurial activities, primarily as petty merchants of consumer goods in unsteady economies. This book situates these migrants within the broader context of Chinese globalization and China’s economic "rise." It traces the origins of Chinese migration into the region, as well as the conditions that have allowed migrants to thrive. Furthermore, it discusses the perception that Chinese globalization is purely economic and explores the relationship among petty merchants, labourers and institutional investors. Finally, by examining the movement of China’s minorities into Central Asia, this book challenges the ethnic construct of new "Chinese" migration.

Book Synopsis Frontier Encounters by : Franck Billé
Download or read book Frontier Encounters written by Franck Billé and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and Russia are rising economic and political powers that share thousands of miles of border. Despite their proximity, their interactions with each other - and with their third neighbour Mongolia - are rarely discussed. Although the three countries share a boundary, their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Frontier Encounters presents a wide range of views on how the borders between these unique countries are enacted, produced, and crossed. It sheds light on global uncertainties: China's search for energy resources and the employment of its huge population, Russia's fear of Chinese migration, and the precarious independence of Mongolia as its neighbours negotiate to extract its plentiful resources. Bringing together anthropologists, sociologists and economists, this timely collection of essays offers new perspectives on an area that is currently of enormous economic, strategic and geo-political relevance.

This book was released on with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flow of funds from migrant workers back to their home countries is an important and fairly stable source of external financing which in many developing economies exceeds official development assistance, portfolio investments, and foreign direct investment. The total value of remittances worldwide has been increasing steadily over the past decades and it is estimated that in 2011 and 2012 reached over US$500 billion and US$550 billion equivalent, respectively. Remittances involve 215 million migrants, or 3 percent of the world’s population, with around half of the official international migration being South-South rather than to wealthier countries in the North. Out of the total estimated worldwide value of remittances about three quarters goes to developing countries
