Download or read book The Legal Status of Migrants Admitted for Employment written by Ryszard Ignacy Cholewinski and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent trends indicate that European countries are admitting more foreign workers to fill labour shortages caused by ageing populations and the increasing globalisation. Consequently, some European countries have adopted new laws and policies in order to attract both highly-skilled and less skilled foreign workers. However, the legal status of these migrants has become a matter of concern. The new measures do not entirely meet the established principles and standards of the Council of Europe aimed at protecting the rights of migrant workers, such as those of the European Social Charter and the European Convention on the Legal Status of Migrant Workers. This study focuses on the rules relating to the legal status of the main categories of migrant workers admitted for employment in some Council of Europe member states. It considers the important question of whether these national rules are structured in a way to assist migrants in their integration in the host country, in terms of granting them a secure residence status and economic and social rights, or whether they discourage or even prevent such integration.

Book excerpt: Recent trends indicate that European countries are admitting more foreign workers to fill labour shortages caused by ageing populations and the increasing globalisation. The changing labour environment is reflected in the advent of new technologies, different labour standards giving rise to an increase in self-employed economic activities, and a greater diversity in working times and practices.Consequently, some European countries have adopted new laws and policies in order to attract both highly-skilled and less skilled foreign workers.

Book excerpt: At a time when issues concerning migration and the formation of diasporic communities have come to be critical for all European legal systems, this volume reflects, discusses and analyzes the questions raised by diasporas who have established themselves in Europe over more than fifty years of immigration and the challenges faced by legal systems in the light of continued migration.

MS Teams will normally show the times according to your computers local time. Our all-women keynote speakers line up this year features Nissa Finney, Jelena Dzankic, Martina Cvajner, Elli Heikkila, Agnes Igoye, and Helén Nilsson.

Download or read book Law and Labour Migration Struggles Legal Consciousness of East African Healthcare Professionals in Britain written by Aishah Namukasa and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the experiences and struggles of East African Healthcare Professionals in their pursuit for labour market integration in the United Kingdom under the Tiered Points Based System – a labour migration programme. Probing the managed migration policy, migration governance and migrant rights, it provides useful context information on the East African sending states, the United Kingdom and the migration of essential healthcare sector workforce. It critiques the fallacy of relying on strict categories when examining labour migration where migrants performing various roles are classed as highly or low skilled. The interdisciplinary study probes the migration-development nexus and the role of law in shaping migrants’ rights experiences. The study is guided by critical theories on law and race. The key findings include tracing the historical evolution of the Points Based System in a racialised context with civic stratification and differentiation practices aimed at non-European migrants. Relying on the socio-legal concept of legal consciousness, the book analyses East African migrant workers’ lived experiences with different facets of law under Britain’s managed migration policy and their responses thereto. It expounds on migrant workers’ strategies of claiming rights and struggles against differentiation practices such as rights restrictions, racialization and manoeuvring precarious legal status. Depending on the available political and legal opportunities including mobilizing and strategic litigation in collaboration with civil society, migrants’ rights-claiming involves invoking international human rights norms as part of migrants’ circulating transnational legal consciousness. The book concludes with a discussion on migrants’ rights claims and organization of lives within the constraints of exclusionary and a times hostile migration policy and legislation.

Download or read book Migration and Human Rights written by Ryszard Cholewinski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-26 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights is the most comprehensive international treaty in the field of migration and human rights. Adopted in 1990 and entered into force in 2003, it sets a standard in terms of access to human rights for migrants. However, it suffers from a marked indifference: only forty states have ratified it and no major immigration country has done so. This highlights how migrants remain forgotten in terms of access to rights. Even though their labour is essential in the world economy, the non-economic aspect of migration – and especially migrants' rights – remain a neglected dimension of globalisation. This volume provides in-depth information on the Convention and on the reasons behind states' reluctance towards its ratification. It brings together researchers, international civil servants and NGO members and relies upon an interdisciplinary perspective that includes not only law, but also sociology and political science.
Download or read book Domination migration and non citizens written by Iseult Honohan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a status that provides protection from domination, understood as subjection to arbitrary interference, are non-citizens - whether outside or inside the state - necessarily subject to domination by virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics, what are the implications for the treatment of migrants and resident non-citizens? This book addresses issues of migration and citizenship within the frame of freedom, in terms of domination, understood as being subject to the threat of arbitrary interference. Coming from a variety of perspectives, the chapters examine the issues of migration controls, differential resident statuses, including temporary workers, refugees and long-term residents, and the conditions for access to citizenship in the light of these concerns. This book was published a sa special issue of the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.

Download or read book Politics and Law in Turkish Migration written by Ibrahim Sirkeci and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly more scholars and analysts argue that migration controls are deemed to fail simply because of the dynamic nature of human mobility. Nevertheless, migration remains to be a hot topic on political agenda as well as a key area of legislation. Turkey has recently implemented some serious structural changes through a new law of migration and creation of a specialist central general directorate responsible for handling almost anything and everything about migrants and foreigners in the country. On the other hand, politics and political participation of the Turks abroad is part and parcel of the integration debates strongly shaping the mainstream politics of immigration countries in Europe and beyond. This book offers a number of research accounts investigating the political participation and integration, new legislations, and implications of policy and law on migration practices.
