This article describes the social and economic organization of migration for begging from Romania to Norway. Drawing on a survey among homeless Romanians in Oslo and qualitative interviews conducted in Norway and migrant-sending communities in Romania, we describe how migrants gain access to resources such as information, transport, places to beg and places to sleep, as well as social and emotional support when abroad. We argue that the particular, clustered structure of these migration flows makes migration available to persons who otherwise would not have opportunities to migrate, eases their adaptation in cities of destination and serves to protect the migrants from exploitation and abuse from external actors. This migration structure does, however, reflect a strong dependence on kinship networks, which may create vulnerabilities in itself.

边缘流动：集群迁移在罗马尼亚和挪威之间乞讨迁移中的促进和降低风险作用

本文描述了从罗马尼亚到挪威的乞讨移民的社会和经济组织。根据对奥斯陆无家可归的罗马尼亚人的调查以及在挪威和罗马尼亚的移民输出社区进行的定性访谈，我们描述了移民如何获得资源，例如信息、交通、乞讨和睡觉的地方，以及社会和在国外时的情感支持。我们认为，这些移民流的特殊、集群结构使原本没有机会移民的人可以移民，减轻他们在目的地城市的适应，并有助于保护移民免受外部行为者的剥削和虐待。然而，这种迁移结构确实反映了对亲属网络的强烈依赖，这本身可能会造成脆弱性。
