This article discusses public social welfare provision to homeless EU migrants in Norway. Most of these migrants have no or weak affiliations with the formal labour market, resulting in restricted rights to public social assistance. Drawing on the concept of precarious inclusion, I suggest that rather than being simply excluded from public social welfare, homeless EU migrants are included in the welfare state but in fragile and insecure ways through provisions directed at safeguarding bodily survival. I understand these limited inclusionary policies and practices as forming part of the Norwegian state’s management of ‘undesired’ migrants. Building on interviews with social workers in the public social welfare administration, I reflect on how assessments of cases involving homeless EU migrants signal hierarchical conceptions and differentiation of human worth within Norway’s borders and how territorial belonging emerges as a prerequisite for ‘deservingness’ in social workers’ accounts.

无家可归的欧盟移民不稳定地纳入挪威公共社会福利:道德边界和社会工作者的困境

本文讨论了向挪威无家可归的欧盟移民提供的公共社会福利。这些移民中的大多数与正规劳动力市场没有联系或联系很弱,导致获得公共社会援助的权利受到限制。借鉴概念岌岌可危包容,我建议,而不是简单地从公共社会福利排除在外,无家可归欧盟移民包括在福利国家中,但通过旨在保障身体生存的规定以脆弱和不安全的方式。我理解这些有限的包容性政策和做法是挪威政府管理“不受欢迎”移民的一部分。基于对公共社会福利管理部门社会工作者的采访,我反思了对涉及无家可归的欧盟移民案件的评估如何表明挪威境内人类价值的等级概念和分化,以及领土归属如何成为社会工作者“应得”的先决条件'帐目。
