Exit regime for international students: The case of Georgia International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2022-06-20 Sascha Krannich, Uwe Hunger
In this paper, we focus on an exit regime for an important and fast rising, but still under-researched form of migration: student migration. More and more countries in the Global South—which suffered large emigration numbers of students to the Global North in the past—have started to establish their own exit regimes to regulate student emigration in their own interests. How do these exit regimes for

When what you have is not enough—Acquiring Australian qualifications to overcome non-recognition of overseas skills International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2022-06-20 George Tan, Andreas Cebulla
Skilled migration is an important strategy in developed economies seeking to address skills shortages and population ageing. Research on the labour market outcomes of skilled migrants tends to focus on employers' devaluation of skills without considering the role of immigration policy in the migration process. Moreover, there is little understanding of whether efforts to meet employer demands for local

Fault-lines in temporary migration schemes: The case of Australia and the legacies of settler-colonial mentalities in the exploitation of temporary non-citizens International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2022-05-19 Claudia Tazreiter, Andrew Burridge
We evaluate the complexity of temporary migration schemes in contrast to the longstanding approach to immigration as a key aspect of nation-building in settler societies. Until the early 1990s, predominantly one-way, permanent immigration schemes were preferred in settler societies such as Australia. In an increasingly fluid global context, temporary migrants are more susceptible to forms of abuse

Conflicting temporalities and the unsustainability of the Italian model of migrant personal care assistant International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2022-05-03 Francesca Alice Vianello
In Southern Europe, the migrant-in-the-family model has become a structural component of the elderly care regime. However, home care work is, by its nature, poorly reconcilable with private and family life. In fact, several studies have denounced the limitations on the right to private and family life that these workers suffer. In this article, I use the migrant home care assistants’ experience of
