Footloose migranten in beeld

__Abstract__ Het gangbare beeld van Midden- en Oost-Europese arbeidsmigranten in Nederland was lange tijd dat zij tijdelijk hier zijn om laagbetaald en vaak onzeker werk te doen, voornamelijk in de land- en tuinbouw en in sommige industriesectoren. Dit eenzijdige beeld klopt slechts ten dele, zo blijkt uit diverse studies over Midden- en Oost-Europeanen in Nederland (vgl. Weltevrede et al. 2009; Dagevos et al. 2011; Engbersen et al. 2011 en 2013; Snel et al. 2013; Van Ostaijen et al. 2014). Lang niet alle arbeidsmigranten uit Midden- en Oost-Europa passen in het stereotype beeld van de tijdelijke ‘MOElanders’. Bovengenoemde studies laten zien dat er onder de categorie Midden- en Oost-Europeanen in Nederland veel meer diversiteit bestaat dan veelal wordt aangenomen. Lang niet alle nieuwe Midden- en Oost-Europese arbeidsmigranten werken in de tuinbouw of doen ander ongeschoold werk! En lang niet iedereen verblijft slechts tijdelijk in Nederland om hier te werken, inmiddels is er ook een aanzienlijke (en naar alle waarschijnlijkheid toenemende) vestigingsmigratie vanuit Middenen Oost-Europa in Nederland. Om aan deze diversiteit onder Midden- en Oost-Europese migranten in Nederland recht te doen, onderscheiden Engbersen et al. (2011; 2013) vier typen Midden- en Oost- Europese arbeidsmigranten in Nederland: circulaire migranten, vestigingsmigranten, transnationale migranten en footloose migranten

To Stay or Return? Explaining Return Intentions of Central and Eastern European Labour Migrants

This paper describes and tries to explain return intentions of Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian labour migrants in the Netherlands. Previous research has often emphasised the temporary or ‘liquid’ char-acter of Central and Eastern European labour migration. We find that a substantial number of labour migrants intend to stay in the Netherlands for many years, and sometimes forever. Data from a survey of Central and Eastern European (CEE) labour migrants (Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians) in the Neth-erlands (N = 654), is used to test three hypotheses about return intentions. Economic success or fail-ure is not found to be related to the return intentions of migrants. Apparently, some migrants return after being successful in migration, whereas others return after having failed. Migrants with strong links with Dutch society have less strong return intentions, whereas migrants with strong transnation-al ties intend to return sooner

Evaluation of the ALMA Prototype Antennas

The ALMA North American and European prototype antennas have been evaluated by a variety of measurement systems to quantify the major performance specifications. Nearfield holography was used to set the reflector surfaces to 17 microns RMS. Pointing and fast switching performance was determined with an optical telescope and by millimeter wavelength radiometry, yielding 2 arcsec absolute and 0.6 arcsec offset pointing accuracies. Path length stability was measured to be less than or approximately equal to 20 microns over 10 minute time periods using optical measurement devices. Dynamical performance was studied with a set of accelerometers, providing data on wind induced tracking errors and structural deformation. Considering all measurements made during this evaluation, both prototype antennas meet the major ALMA antenna performance specifications.Comment: 83 pages, 36 figures, AASTex format, to appear in PASP September 2006 issu
