Abstract

Temporary labour migration programmes (TLMPs) began to grow in the mid-1990s and by 2017 outstripped permanent migration for work (International Labour Organization (ILO), 2017a, 5). TLMPs impose limits on the length of time a migrant is lawfully permitted to be in the receiving country and stipulate the type of work that a migrant can lawfully perform. Typically targeting low-wage workers, TLMPs are frequently seasonal, and they are often circular. Migrant workers admitted under these programmes are regularly denied the same rights as permanent residents or citizens in the host state and they face a range of restrictions relating to access to benefits and services, mobility, residence, employment, and family life (Fudge, 2012). In effect, TLMPs create a hierarchically organized and differentiated supply of migrant workers who are often racialized and gendered (Lewis et al., 2015; Surak, 2013). Since these programmes often tie migrant workers’ right to reside and work in the host state to an on-going employment relationship with a sponsoring employer, employers exercise a great deal of control over migrant workers. TLMPs for low wage workers are associated with severe decent work deficits such as forced labour, wage theft, and discrimination (ILO, 2017a: 117).

解决问题:国际劳工组织、临时劳工移徙计划和体面工作
临时劳工移民计划(TLMP)在20世纪90年代中期开始增长,到2017年超过了永久性工作移民(国际劳工组织,2017a,5)。TLMP对合法允许移民在接收国的时间长度进行了限制,并规定了移民可以合法从事的工作类型。TLMP通常针对低工资工人,通常是季节性的,而且通常是循环的。根据这些方案接纳的移民工人经常被剥夺与东道国永久居民或公民相同的权利,他们在获得福利和服务、流动、居住、就业和家庭生活方面面临一系列限制(Fudge,2012)。事实上,TLMP创造了一种分级组织和有区别的移民工人供应,他们往往被种族化和性别化(Lewis等人,2015;苏拉克,2013年)。由于这些方案往往将移民工人在东道国的居住和工作权与与赞助雇主的持续就业关系联系在一起,雇主对移民工人行使很大的控制权。低工资工人的TLMP与严重的体面工作赤字有关,如强迫劳动、工资盗窃和歧视(国际劳工组织,2017a:117)。

期刊介绍: Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
