La cultura dei servizi di accoglienza migranti in Italia. Una ricerca esplorativa [The culture of migrant reception services in Italy. An exploratory research]
Italy has a long history of immigration, which has become part of the country’s landscape in a complex and varied way, and has led to significant changes in important contexts such as in the school, the work place, and in the provision of welfare services. And yet, immigration policies still consist in emergency measures that do not recognize the phenomenon in its long -standing and structural dimension. In addition, public opinion is concerned as a result of the alarmist distortion of this issue, as shown by the gapbetween data on immigration and perceived immigration. Since in this research we take into consideration collusively shared experiences, these misunderstandings can not be corrected by providing more information on the real data; we posit that the emotional scope must be recognized in order to address this issue. In particular, we asked ourselves how this context -changes brought by immigration, public opinion, and government policies -is repre sented within the migrant Accordingly, we interviewed a group of reception staff from the Roman area on the type of service that they think they are offering. The results show how, in their experience, this complex reality of immigration is not evoked: the experience within the services is isolated from the Italian narrative and context. However, the voice of migrants and their point of view, emerge as a resource within these services, as openness rather than isolation

¿Quo Vadis? Reclutamiento y Contratacion de Trabajadores Migrantes y su Acceso a la Seguridad Social: dinamicas de los sistemas de trabajo temporal migratorio en Norte y Centroamerica
Different regions and countries of the world face a serious need to design and make use of necessary policies and resources to better manage worker migration, thus ensuring the welfare and human rights of these people who, in the end, are of benefit to their society of origin, as well as the receiving society. Although international labor migration may turn out to be productive for many people, many of these migrant workers have unsatisfactory living and working conditions. While it is likely that their labor conditions are better than in their own country, in many cases they are inferior to the working conditions of nationals in their receiving country. Despite international standards to protect migrant workers, their labor rights are frequently abused, especially if they have immigrated in an irregular fashion. In this context, INEDIM took on the task of developing an integral and comprehensive document regarding different migrant worker and visa systems in Central and North America.The work presented here holds enormous value for delving in-depth to the forms of management of temporary migrant workers, as well as their access and guarantees to social and labor protection in North and Central America. This report addresses the problem of management of labor migrant flows among countries in our region. This study is based on an ordered and scrupulous methodology in which different migration systems and visa schemes for the hiring of temporary migrant workers are analyzed from the perspective of protection, respect for, guarantees and promotion of human rights. The study analyzes six systems that seek to regulate temporary migration in the region along the Central and North American corridor. The countries involved in these six systems are El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Canada, the United States, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The authors carry out a thorough and well-structured study based on two focuses of analysis: first, the processes for recruiting and contracting migrant workers and secondly, access to social protection for temporary migrant workers by means of the right to social security. From these two focuses, the authors are able to identify and demonstrate structural insufficiencies and gaps in the analyzed systems, which should guarantee labor security and social security for these workers
La ciudad del migrante: la representación de Quito en relatos de migrantes indígenas
La ciudad del migrante es una más entre las múltiples que coexisten y se entrecruzan en Quito. Es la ciudad que surge del diario enfrentamiento del migrante con la urbe. Es la ciudad percibida, imaginada, vivida cotidianamente por el indígena que llega a Quito en busca de trabajo. A partir de las prácticas que despliega en la urbe, el migrante indígena configura una ciudad en movimiento cuyas fronteras no están claramente definidas y cuya estructura, como un conjunto de redes fluidas, cambia en el tiempo y en el espacio. Acceder a la representación de esa ciudad, de ese Quito construido a partir de prácticas efímeras, apegadas a las ocasiones específicas en que ocurren, solo es posible si se estudian los relatos de esos migrantes que narrativizan ese mismo enfrentamiento y la apropiación de la ciudad. Al estudiar los relatos la autora busca otro texto en estos textos: la ciudad con los sentidos que el migrante ha adscrito, los lugares significativos que él ha establecido, las connotaciones que estos lugares provocan. Estos sentidos no son fijos ni definitivos. Siempre habrá algo que cambie, que falte, que se escape: la ciudad es un tejido que está perpetuamente resignificándose. Pero la ciudad es también esa trama móvil e inestable de redes de socialidad y de transacción que le permiten al migrante indígena ubicarse y desplazarse en un espacio y en un tiempo que no coinciden con los que dejó en la comunidad. Es, en definitiva, un territorio nuevo que está incesantemente recreándose y redefiniéndose
Perfil do migrante brasileiro
This paper set up some stylized facts related to migration in Brazil. Two important things should be kept in mind: a) the data came from PNAD 2006; and b) the variable migration is defined as an individual that was born in one state but lives in another one. Changes in the definition of the variable migration or in the dataset are able to change the qualitativeresults. We can summarize our results in the following: 1) young individuals with higher level of education are more prone to migrate; 2) gender and race are important factors related to migration; and 3) distance between regions is a very important variable to explain migration
Visas, Inc: Corporate Control and Policy Incoherence in the U.S. Temporary Foreign Labor System
This report provides the first comprehensive analysis of the many visas that employers use and misuse to bring foreign workers into the U.S. in every field, from low-wage jobs in agriculture and domestic work, to specialty occupations in health care, education or information technology. The system is vulnerable to misuse by employers who use foreign labor to undermine established wages and working conditions in the U.S. The result is that U.S. workers are losing out on opportunities, and foreign workers have almost no protection from exploitation, unpaid wages, unsafe conditions and even trafficking and other abuses
Tras el rastro estadístico de las uniones de inmigrantes en España
Este trabajo tiene como objetivos (i) examinar la capacidad de las estadísticas españolas para estudiar las parejas de inmigrantes y (ii) mostrar las implicaciones que la definición de migrante y la selección del universo de uniones tiene sobre su estudio. Para ello utilizamos datos del Censo de 2001, la Encuesta de Población Activa, la Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes y el Movimiento Natural de la Población. En conclusión se ha observado una notable sensibilidad de los resultados en la elección de la fuente y, especialmente, en la definición del migrante y el tipo de unión, con importantes diferencias entre colectivo
Il migrante nelle narrazioni quotidiane
I fenomeni d’immigrazione tendono ancora oggi a essere trattati come stati d’eccezione, di cui vanno narrati i momenti più eclatanti (il viaggio, la prima accoglienza) e i cui unici protagonisti sono i migranti stessi; le migrazioni vengono infatti quasi sempre narrate attraverso le azioni di chi si mette in movimento. Lungi dal voler negare la fondamentale importanza di una simile attenzione, ritengo però necessario anche mettere in luce le reazioni da parte degli abitanti dei territori dove i migranti, in maniera più o meno informale, si insediano.
Sembra infatti rischioso abbandonare la riflessione sul punto di vista di queste persone, sulle immaginazioni e pratiche che mettono all’opera rispetto alla presenza dell’altro da sé nel territorio; si rischia infatti di lasciare tutto in mano ad agende politiche che cercano di cristallizzare il discorso sui temi dell’identità e della difesa della patria e dei suoi valori. Per queste ragioni, ritengo sia invece fondamentale che il lavoro dei ricercatori si occupi anche di questa prospettiva, per riappropriarsi di queste narrazioni, decostruirle e proporne di nuove.
Presenterò quindi i risultati di una ricerca etnografica compiuta all’interno del territorio del III municipio di Roma, dove ho lavorato sull’utilizzo dei dispostivi mobili di comunicazione, internet e i social network, cercando di vedere in che modalità si sviluppassero all’interno di questi habitat discorsi riguardanti il territorio, le sue criticità, le sue qualità e la sua gestione. Non sorprenderà sapere che buona parte di questi discorsi convergono in maniera conflittuale sulla figura dello straniero, la cui rappresentazione ha continuamente luogo all’interno dei vari luoghi di discussioni “immateriali” attraverso una pedissequa narrazione degli effetti che l’arrivo degli immigrati provoca nei quartieri. Attorno a questi resoconti si formano discussioni che pongono ogni volta nuovi confini su cosa e come sia “l’altro”, seguendo due principali filoni narrativi: l’altro come simbolo e colpevole del degrado urbano e dell’impossibilità di un’integrazione, o l’altro “buono e lavoratore”, disposto a veri sacrifici per migliorare il “nostro” territorio e, attraverso questo sacrificio integrarsi.
Entrambi questi stereotipi che vengono a formarsi contribuiscono a creare un’immagine distorta tanto dei comportamenti degli immigrati, quanto dei giusti comportamenti da tenere nei loro confronti da parte della popolazione “accogliente”, facendo spesso assurgere ogni comportamento semplicemente corretto a forme di “perbenismo”. L’osservazione di una simile dinamica risulta però fondamentale per comprendere profondamente le motivazioni di comportamenti simili, per quanto possano non piacerci. Attraverso questa comprensione infatti, credo sia possibile individuare le modalità più efficaci di instaurare con gli abitanti una decostruzione condivisa di questi stereotipi, e una costruzione di nuovi modelli di convivenza
