Abstract:
Most West European countries recruited guest-workers (temporary labor migrants) to fuel the postwar boom. The significance of this flexible and mobile labor source is examined for six countries. The dynamics of the migratory process led to family reunification and settlement, against the original intentions of the workers, employers and states concerned. The recruitment of guest-workers stopped after 1974, but many migrants stayed on, becoming permanent ethnic minorities, in a situation of economic and social crisis. It is argued that guest-worker systems inevitably lead to permanent migration in the long run, and that it is better to plan for orderly settlement through appropriate policies.

Abstract:
In the writing on institutional organisation and collective strike action among agricultural workers in Lowland Scotland during the early twentieth century until the outbreak of the Second World War, Richard Anthony has provided an extensive discussion on farm servants.2 However, in general, little attention has been given to casually employed workers. One such group, known as the Achill workers or the Irish ‘tattie howkers’, employed to harvest the potato crop in south-western and central Scotland, attempted to organise themselves and pursued collective strike action on a number of occasions. That group, which comprised some 1,500 to 2,000 workers, undertook strike action in 1907. That action was followed by intensive campaigns in 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1938; a further attempted strike was also reported in 1912. Much of their collective action was assisted by institutional support from unions which were already organising workers. But workers also attempted to organise themselves with the assistance of these existing unions in the years 1918 to 1921, 1925, 1926 and 1929, and to form their own union in 1909, 1910 and 1938. This paper will examine these attempts during this period.

Over the past years, our country has witnessed a great increase in the hiring of foreigners for work purposes. It is in this context that it becomes relevant what has been established by de Legislative Decree 689, the Act of Recruitment of Foreign Personnel.In the present article, the authors develop the legal framework of foreigner´s hiring in Peru, as well as its requirements, limits, migration procedures and its scope of application. A reference is also made to the International Covenants signed by our country regarding the topic. The authors conclude, however, that national regulation on the hiring of foreign personnel is insufficient and has alimited scope.<br>Durante los últimos años, nuestro país ha presenciado un incremento en el número deextranjeros contratados con fines laborales.

Abstract:
Les migrations constituent un phénomène transnational dont la gestion a traditionnellement occupé l’intérêt des Etats de destination des migrants dans l’exercice de leur souveraineté. Avec l’avènement de la mondialisation, le panorama migratoire s’est transformé. Les migrations occupent une place chaque fois plus importante dans les agendas des Etats ayant compris que la maîtrise des migrations nécessitait de la coopération et de l’action conjointe à l’échelle internationale. La gouvernance des migrations comporte tout un ensemble de défis tant pour les Etats de destination des migrants que pour les Etats d’origine et pour la communauté internationale dans son ensemble. D’une part se présente l’intérêt de contrôler l’arrivée des migrants très influencé par des conceptions sécuritaires; d’une autre part apparaissent les conceptions des migrations comme outils du développement qui visent à tirer profit des effets considérés comme positifs des migrations et restreindre ses effets négatifs. Et finalement nous constatons l’existence de circonstances pouvant mettre en danger les droits humains des migrants et face auxquelles des mesures doivent être prises pour assurer le respect total des droits de l’homme des migrants. Concilier les intérêts présents autour de la maîtrise des migrations n’est pas une tâche facile. Afin de trouver un cadre idéal pour la maîtrise des migrations et la protection des droits des migrants, nous explorons 5 hypothèses d’étude qui nous mènent à analyser la gestion mondiale migratoire, la gouvernance régionale des migrations (dans le cadre de l’Amérique latine et des relations bilatérales entre cette dernière et l’Union européenne), la protection des migrants en tant que personnes vulnérables titulaires des droits à vocation universelle, ainsi que la protection proposé par les Etats d’origine des migrants (le cas particulier de la Colombie). Les atouts et les défis de chaque espace de discussion sont analysés ainsi que leurs apports à la maîtrise des migrations et à la protection des migrants<br>Migrations are a transnational phenomenon that its management has traditionally called attention from the destination states exercising its sovereignty. With the arrival of globalization, the migration perspective has changed. Migrations have an increasingly more important place in the government’s agenda, which has understood that migration management needed the cooperation and the joint action at an international level. The governance of migration involves multiple challenges for the destination countries as well as the countries of origin and for the international community. On one hand, it presents the interest of controlling the arrival of migrants, with a strong influence of security conceptions; on the other hand other ideas have immerged that consider migration as tools for development. Those ideas aim to profit from the effects that are considered as benefits of migration and to stop the negative effects. Finally, we consider the existence of the circumstances that can put in danger migrant’s human rights and for which some measures should be taken. Reconciling the interests surrounding the management of migration is not a simple task. For finding ideal management framework for the governance of migration and the protection of migrant’s human rights, we will explore 5 hypotheses. We will analyze the global administration of migration; the regional administration (in the framework of Latin America); the protection of migrants as vulnerable people having universal rights, as well as the protection from the migrant’s state of origin (in the particular case of Colombia). The assets and the challenges of each one of those discussion environments will be analyzed as well as its contributions to migration’s governance and migrant’s protection

Abstract:
Les changements politiques qui ont eu lieu dans les pays de l’Est européen depuis 1989 ont eu pour conséquence l’ouverture des frontières des ex-pays communistes, facilitant les départs et les retours des leurs citoyens. La transformation économique qui se poursuit dans cette région de l’Europe a toutes ces conséquences :la hausse du chômage, les salaires très peu élevés, les difficultés économiques observées notamment dans les régions rurales etc. Tout cela provoque un déplacement de personnes qui, cherchant leur terre d’exile, cherchant une vie meilleure, se dirigent de l’Est vers l’Ouest du continent. <p>En 1991, le Royaume de Belgique a changé la législation concernant les citoyens polonais en leur accordant l’entrée libre, sans visas, pour un séjour touristique de trois mois. Cette modification de la loi a initié une nouvelle vague migratoire provenant de Pologne. <p><p>Notre étude concerne le milieu immigré polonais de Bruxelles, avec une prise en considération particulière de la question de la naissance et le fonctionnement d’un nouveau type d’organisation sociale qu’est la communauté transnationale. L’approche théorique de cette recherche est basée sur les études récentes relatives aux communautés transnationales. A partir de travaux de Alejandro Portes, Douglas Massey et Saskia Sassen, Robert Cohen et Steven Vertovec nous pouvons définir une communauté transnationale comme une nouvelle forme de vie sociale qui est composée d’immigrés vivant dans le pays d’accueil, des familles et des enfants des migrants qui sont dans le pays d’origine, d’anciens immigrés qui sont déjà rentrés dans leur pays d’origine et des migrants potentiels. Les communautés transnationales développent leurs propres entreprises, organisations, institutions et différentes formes de dépendances qui permettent à leurs membres de vivre et travailler dans le pays d’immigration, même sans avoir ni le permis de séjour ni le permis de travail. Le réseau de liens et d’organisations aide aussi la circulation des biens, des fonds financiers, ainsi que des informations entre le pays d’accueil et le pays d’origine. <p><p>Le but de cette recherche est de vérifier l’hypothèse qu’actuellement à Bruxelles se développe une communauté transnationale d’immigrés polonais illégaux. Cette communauté aide les migrants à exister en même temps dans les deux pays ;par exemple gagner de l’argent à Bruxelles et continuer la construction d’une maison dans le village natal, travailler en Belgique et élever des enfants qui sont en Pologne. Nous analysons la formation, les logiques de fonctionnement et l’évolution de la communauté transnationale polonaise implantée à Bruxelles ainsi que les organisations et les institutions, entre autres informelles, aidant les Polonais qui vivent sur le sol belge. Les questions liées à la problématique de l’emploi des immigrés polonais à Bruxelles constituent des éléments importants de notre recherche. L’accès des immigrés polonais au marché informel de l’économie belge, le fonctionnement du secteur du travail illégal, les métiers ethniques, la dynamique d’insertion des Polonais sur le marché de l’emploi bruxellois, les relations entre les patrons belges et les employés polonais ainsi que l’existence du secteur informel des entreprises polonaises nous semble particulièrement intéressant à développer dans le cadre de notre recherche. <p><p>Une analyse approfondie de la communauté polonaise de Bruxelles représente un intérêt non négligeable tant pour la Région de Bruxelles – Capitale que pour l’Etat belge, notamment à cause de l’ampleur de cette immigration. Les ressortissants polonais séjournant en Belgique constituent le premier groupe migrant parmi tous les immigrés originaires de l’Europe centrale et orientale. Dans ce contexte, il nous semble intéressant de connaître cette communauté qui se développe sur le sol belges depuis déjà 15 ans sans aucun statut officiel pendant plusieurs années. <p><br>Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Abstract:
During the New Deal, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) developed what is arguably one of the most provocative and far-reaching programs for farm workers undertaken by the U.S. federal government to date. Through the Migratory Labor Camp Program the FSA promised to efficiently funnel workers to fulfill the agricultural industry’s labor demands while providing migrants modern, up-to-date housing and services to alleviate the well-documented substandard conditions many faced. Most scholars have analyzed the camps primarily as sites of labor, capital, and state regulation. Rather than view the camp program as simply a government effort to more efficiently coordinate the nation’s farm labor market, this study argues that the services, programs, and activities FSA officials administered in the camps sought to regulate and transform significant and often intimate social and cultural aspects of migrants’ daily lives. By examining the role of the camps’ architecture, medical clinics, nurseries and elementary schools, as well as the “self-governing” camp committees and councils, this dissertation engages in a gendered analysis of labor to reveal how the federal camps were unique dual-purpose domestic and labor spaces. Analyzing the camps as simultaneous productive and reproductive sites allows us to see them as part of a contested terrain in which complex issues of identity, community, citizenship, and labor were negotiated on a daily basis, affecting U.S. farm labor and race relations well beyond the perimeters of the federal camps.<br>text

Abstract:
abstract: The term "White flight" and its effects are well documented in large urban city centers. However, few studies consider the same effects on smaller American communities. This case study investigates Lexington, Nebraska, a rural community of approximately 10,000 citizens, that has experienced a population influx of minorities in the last 25 years. The population shift has increased the representation of Hispanic, Asian, and now Somali students in the Lexington Public School system, which, in turn, has been accompanied by a dramatic decrease in White, Anglo students. This study attempts to identify and describe the reasons for the exodus of White students from the public school setting. Possible reasons that might explain the decreases in White student enrollment may include overcrowding in schools, unsafe school environments, and/or less one-on-one attention with classroom teachers.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Ed.D.

Abstract:
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic unveils structural weaknesses and vulnerabilities in societal structures that we have become to take as ordinary parts of our society. This especially holds true for such structures in the labor market in general (see Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-65355-2_5 by Bekker) and especially for labor migrants, the focus of this chapter. The COVID-19 crisis not only augmented their precarious situation but also enlarged the awareness of the dependency of developed countries on migrant workers and, in some countries, led to a positive response by way of regularization of the migratory status of migrant workers. Apparently, the COVID-19 crisis has revealed that a public health risk generated more impact than academic and grounded research on work and living conditions of migrant workers and the work of organizations fighting for migrant workers’ rights. In this chapter, I will first address how COVID-19 has impacted the position of migrant workers before discussing opportunities created for migrant workers and the way forward.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter discusses the level and quality of social protection granted to legally residing migrant workers in Argentina and national citizens residing abroad in five main policy areas: unemployment, health, pensions, family benefits and guaranteed minimum resources. After an overview of recent evolutions in Argentina’s Social Security and migration policy, we analyze each policy area in order to identify the necessary eligibility requirements for accessing social benefits or services. Our findings show that, in general, the contributory logic prevails over nationality for Social Security benefits. In the case of non-contributory programs, we observe a regime that is generally less generous in quantitative and qualitative terms, and even more restricted for migrants. Despite this, Argentina’s immigration policy is relatively open, especially for migrants from the region, while certain fundamental rights (such as health and education) are guaranteed to all migrants (regardless of their migratory status).

Abstract:
Chapter two begins with the story of Make, a Native Hawaiian whale worker on an American ship in 1850. Make was just one of thousands of Hawaiian men who served on foreign whaling vessels in the nineteenth century. As a global whaling industry emerged in the period 1820 to 1860, transoceanic economic and ecological factors conditioned Hawaiian workers’ experiences of both whales and the ocean. Movement and mobility are key to understanding the “whale worlds” inhabited by both Hawaiian workers and migratory whales. Hawaiian migrant workers were modern-day “whale riders.” Their experiences of ocean space and ocean time were influenced not just by global economic and ecological forces, including the geographical distance of the commodity chain from production to consumption, but by the nature of the ocean itself. Our story continues by following the movement of workers from Hawaiʻi to New England and beyond; the movement of whales from feeding grounds to breeding grounds; and the movement of whale parts from sites of production to sites of consumption in the United States.

This book’s epilogue considers how the story of the rise and fall of Hawaiʻi’s indigenous workers—and the diasporic, migratory nature of their experiences—revolutionizes what we think we know about the place of Hawaiʻi in the Pacific, and the place of the Pacific in the world. I also raise questions about what this story can contribute to twenty-first-century struggles over capitalism and colonialism in Hawaiʻi as well as across our globalizing world. The epilogue looks specifically at the twenty-first-century legacies of nineteenth-century practices and experiences of Hawaiian migrant labor, state labor discipline, indigenous land dispossession, policing and incarceration, and life in “perpetual diaspora.”

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines one of the most important economic circumstances causing conflict: landlessness. Technically, small cultivators who own their own land are called peasants, while small cultivators who are landless are known as rural proletariats. If rural proletariats want to farm, they have to work for someone else; a migratory harvest worker is a standard example. Why are peasants more conservative than rural proletariats? Peasants own land and have something to lose, while rural proletariats have nothing so they can take more risks. Moreover, peasants live isolated from and compete with each other, while rural proletariats have close relationships of friendship and solidarity. What does this imply for social conflict? If one peasant were to ask another to join a social movement, that other peasant will be reluctant to help out. Crews of proletarianized workers in contrast are natural combat squads; they are used to standing up for each other. Ultimately, owning land keeps peasants out of violent movements; when they are landless, anything can happen.

Full text
Abstract:
Between 2014 and 2020 over 1.8 million refugees fled from Venezuela to Colombia as a result of a humanitarian crisis, many of them without a regular migratory status. We study the short- to medium-term labor market impacts in Colombia of the Permiso Temporal de Permanencia program, the largest migratory amnesty program offered to undocumented migrants in a developing country in modern history. The program granted regular migratory status and work permits to nearly half a million undocumented Venezuelan migrants in Colombia in August 2018. To identify the effects of the program, we match confidential administrative data on the location of undocumented migrants with department-monthly data from household surveys and compare labor outcomes in departments that were granted different average time windows to register for the amnesty online, before and after the program roll-out. We are only able to distinguish negative albeit negligible effects of the program on the formal employment of Colombian workers. These effects are predominantly concentrated in highly educated and in female workers.

Full text
Abstract:
We develop a small open economy model with nominal rigidities and fragmented labor markets to study the response of the monetary policy to a migration shock. Migrants are characterized by their productivity levels, their restrictions to accumulate capital, as well as by the flexibility of their labor income. Our results show that the monetary policy response depends on the characteristics of migrants and the local labor market. An inflow of low(high)-productivity workers reduces(increases) marginal costs, lowers(raises) inflation expectations and pushes the Central Bank to reduce(increase) the interest rate. The model is calibrated to the Colombian economy and used to analyze a migratory inflow of financially constraint workers from Venezuela into a sector with flexible and low wages.
