Résumé: Les auteurs, pédopsychiatres, se préoccupent des conséquences psychiques sur les enfants de la politique actuelle concernant les familles sans titre de séjour régulier (régularisations de ...plus en plus restreintes). Ces enfants vivent souvent à l’hôtel durant de longues années dans une insécurité et une promiscuité préjudiciables à leur développement. Le risque d’expulsion rend leur avenir plus incertain. Les auteurs dénoncent une forme de maltraitance sociale et politique qui a des effets traumatiques chez les parents et les enfants, dont les symptômes ne sont pas spécifiques mais s’avèrent préoccupants par leur fréquence et leur intensité. Le suivi des familles s’accompagne d’un travail de réseau qui peut s’avérer épuisant psychiquement du fait du manque de moyens financiers et humains. C’est pourtant un problème de santé publique et une obligation éthique au regard du droit des enfants.
Abstract: The authors and child psychiatrists are concerned about the psychological effects on children who are victim of the current policy on families without regular residence permits (regularization is increasingly restricted). These children often live for many years in hotels; they lead a life of insecurity and promiscuity, which is prejudicial to their development. The risk of expulsion makes their future uncertain. The authors denounce a form of abuse that has traumatic social and political effects on the parents and children; the symptoms are not specific, but are of concern due to their frequency and intensity. The treatment of these families requires social networking, which can be mentally exhausting due to a lack of financial and human resources. However, it is a public health issue and an ethical obligation concerning children’s rights.
A szomszédos országok közötti munkaerő-áramlás lehetőségei egyre fontosabb kérdéssé válnak Magyarország keleti határainak mentén, a régóta rendkívül rossz foglalkoztatási helyzet, a kevés álláshely ...miatt az itt élők félnek leginkább a konkurenciától. Az ukrajnai állampolgárok létszáma alapvetően két régióra koncentrálódik, az Észak-Alföld régióra és a Közép-Magyarország régióra. Kutatásunk célkitűzése, hogy pontos képet kapjunk a Magyarországon lévő ukrajnai állampolgárok foglalkoztatási sajátosságairól.
Az ukrajnai munkavállalók fontosabb jellemzői: döntő többségük férfi, középkorú, alapvetően elégedettek a fizetéssel, a kedvezőbb kereseti lehetőség a legfőbb vonzerő számukra, szerény igényeket támasztanak a munkával, illetve a munkaadójukkal szemben, többségük nem kíván letelepedni Magyarországon.
Megállapítottuk, hogy Ukrajnából döntően magyar ajkú munkavállalók érkeztek, így a magyar igazolványok hatáskörének bővítésével, egyszerűsített ügyintézés bevezetésével könnyebbé válna a hivatalos munkavállalás. Ez a javaslatunk azóta messzemenően teljesült a magyar nemzetiségű, de nem magyar állampolgárok részére lehetővé tett magyar állampolgárság gyors megszerzésének lehetőségével.
Sok esetben azért kezdeményezték a letelepedést a munkavállalók – és fektettek be súlyos összegű pénzeket a letelepedés folyamatába –, mert azáltal kedvezőbb helyzetbe kerültek, és ugyanolyan feltételekkel dolgozhattak, mint magyarországi kollégáik.
--- Migration between Hungary and neighbouring countries has become increasingly important, mainly in the border regions because the citizens of these regions suffer from long-term unemployment, and they are afraid of foreign competition. In Hungary, Ukrainian workers are concentrated mainly in two areas: the North Great Plain region and the Central region. The aim of our research is to have a clear picture about the employment characteristics of the Ukrainian working people in Hungary.
The most important characteristics of Ukrainian employees in Hungary are: the majority is middle aged men satisfied with their income, the main reason for them to work in Hungary is the higher earnings, their expectations toward their employer and workplace are moderate, and the most of them do not intend to settle down in Hungary. We found that, overwhelmingly, workers who could speak Hungarian had arrived from Ukraine and therefore the expansion of the scope of Register of Certificate of Hungarian Nationality and uncomplicated administration should have helped them to find jobs in Hungary.
Due to the changes in the policies toward people of Hungarian nationality living abroad our suggestions have become reality as people living in foreign countries with Hungarian nationality can obtain Hungarian citizenship via a simple and quick process.
At the time of the research, people of Hungarian nationality from Ukraine applied for Hungarian citizenship in order to attain a similar position in the Hungarian labour market as their fellows, the Hungarian citizens.
Shanghai is progressively transforming itself into a brand of its own en route to the status of a world-class city. Receiving strong support and planning attention from both the central and municipal ...government, Shanghai has removed a significant number of conventional trade barriers, and its integration with advanced capitalist economies has been strengthened after China's entry into the World Trade Organisation in 2001. Concomitantly however, the undercurrent of the quasi-hidden human factor, the temporary migrant labour or floating population (liudong renkou) must not be neglected. How have they contributed and will they continue to contribute towards Shanghai's realisation of its ambition? Indeed, the high rates of economic growth are achieved against the backdrop of their participation. Without residence permits, many bear the contempt and discrimination of the local population. This paper addresses the issue of integrating the floating population into Shanghai's plan to become a global hub. First, it examines the potential contributions of low-ordered services of migrants in transforming Shanghai's cityscape as it responds to globalisation following urban reforms. Next, based on the survey results, the perceptions and living experience of the floating population are analysed. Primary survey data collected in November 2002 are used as empirical evidence, illustrating the experience of the migrants and the problems they face. Arguments are focused on the dualistic nature of the floating population in Shanghai's globalisation processes -economic inclusion and social exclusion in the form of marginalisation as a source of social ills. Finally, the paper addresses the municipal government's management plans for accommodating the floating population.

A high number of legal changes accompanied the increase of people seeking asylum in Germany throughout the 18th legislative period from 2013–2017. These changes have transformed the field of ...humanitarian reception in Germany, especially along the axes of citizenship, integration performance and deviation from administrative and legal rules. Half of the legal measures from this period have led to differential rights for different groups of asylum seekers according to one of these three axes. The axis of citizenship has also structured the development of administrative procedures referred to as “integrated refugee management” which was established to speed up asylum seeking processes, classifying persons applying for a humanitarian residence visa in Germany into four clusters. This categorization, too, led to different entitlements regarding the admittance to state-financed German courses and integration measures focussed on education and the labour market. In this article I employ the notion of differential inclusion (Mezzadra & Neilson, 2012) to analyse these legal and administrative changes. I show that they have reshaped the substructures impacting the lives of those categorized as “genuine” and “illegitimate” refugees and thus redrawn the boundaries and created hierarchies among those seeking humanitarian protection in Germany.
One third of Eritrea's citizens live in exile, and their government uses coercion, intimidation, and manipulation of patriotism to maintain financial flows from the diaspora through a rehabilitation ...tax and by delegating welfare responsibilities to its citizens abroad. Over one million Eritreans reside in Arab states, yet, we know little about their attitudes towards the homeland regime. Contrary to their compatriots in Europe and North America, they do not have political asylum and instead depend on work contracts for their residence permits. This makes them vulnerable to demands of transnational Eritrean institutions, which issue vital documents in exchange for fulfillment of financial obligations. The diasporic political space is doubly restricted, since authoritarian host states neither permit political activities, nor do they provide reliable protection from the Eritrean regime. This article explores the extent to which Eritreans in the Arab Gulf and Sudan can avert coercion by their home government, and how these states disempower diasporic contention.
This paper analyses the mobility practices of forced migrants within the European border regime. It investigates the relation between the control and management mechanisms of migration and the ...attempts of forced migrants to move freely, crisscrossing territorial and juridical borders in Europe. The paper focuses on the experiences of a group of forced migrants, who, after escaping the war in Libya, obtained humanitarian protection in Italy, but because of the current precarious socio-economic conditions in Southern Europe, decided to leave for North European countries. A group settled in Berlin, which gave rise to a protest claiming the right to stay and work against what is foreseen by European Union law. This paper draws on ethnographic work to show the tension between individual desires and practices of free mobility and the structural and juridical constraints implemented by institutions in order to control it and contain it. Focusing on this (im)mobility highlights the internal borders of Europe and how they are continuously challenged by migrant subjects. Three different kinds of mobility emerge across the European space: mobility within national territory, infranational mobility, and “commuting-mobility”. In this way, migrant subjects create new geographies and experience the whole European territory as one place: living in Berlin, renewing documents in Milan, attending education courses in Turin, and working seasonally in Sicily or Apulia. Such mobilities are supported by networks of migrants, who continuously move, and their supporters. This suggests a process of “Europeanisation from below” that continuously challenges EU internal borders.
