Willingness To Engage

AbstractThis chapter focuses on entry conditions for family members and recognition of qualifications that are considered secondary policy areas, yet could still influence migrants’ willingness to engage in circular migration. The chapter commences with an analysis of the transposition of the Family Reunification Directive into Polish and Bulgarian law. It then moves on to explore its implementation dynamics through the eyes of the migrant workers who participated in the focus groups as part of this study. As a second step, the chapter examines national instruments in the field of academic and professional qualifications. It takes physicians and nurses as case studies in order to present the challenges associated with practicing regulated professions in the context of circular migration. The chapter concludes with an assessment of existing instruments against the study’s benchmarks in these two policy areas, namely the conditions for family reunification and for migrant workers to have their diplomas and professional qualifications recognised.

AbstractThis chapter brings together the EU and national instruments conducive to circular migration developed in Bulgaria and Poland and assesses their implementation against the backdrop of the study’s benchmarks concerning entry and re-entry conditions for migrant workers. In order to do that, the chapter first presents the national general admission frameworks and the specific instruments identified as favourable to circular migration; as a second step, it focuses on the implementation of EU instruments in the national laws of Bulgaria and Poland. This analysis is complemented by insights into the implementation dynamics of the EU and national instruments on the basis of data collected through focus groups with migrants from Ukraine and Russia as well as interviews conducted with stakeholders and data on permits retrieved from the national administrations of both countries. The chapter ends with an assessment of whether the instruments developed provide options for facilitated entry for migrants from the Eastern partnership countries and Russia, as well as for circulation-friendly policies – for instance, the possibility to grant priority to seasonal workers who have been employed in the territory of a Member State for a significant period over other workers who seek admission to that State.

The convention was formed in order to protect migrant workers in a country. This Convention gives Justice the same rights to migrant workers and local workers in a country. Such rights may be the right to travel, the right to change of employment, the right to gather with the family, the right to organize, and the right to acknowledgment of the documents or not documents. This Paper aims to determine the success or presence of countries that ratify this Convention. and case studies on this paper using the country of Indonesia. From the data we can and we collect, it can be concluded that the country of Indonesia ratified this Convention but failed to apply this Convention to its country due to migrant workers who are treated unreasonably in the country where it works.

The presence of women migrants in urban industrial workers proved that women's movement exists. This migration process not only indicates that women are actively involved in economic activity, but also influences the decision-making on important activities within the family and society. This study aims to determine the relationship between mobility patterns and its contribution to economic and decision-making in the family through the survey as research methods. The data were analysed by descriptive analysis, statistics approach, and correlation maps. For the independence test in the bivariate table, we used the chi square method, and to display the distribution of two variables simultaneously, a cross-tabulation was used. After that, to assess whether there is a relationship between the two variables, the table of independence was used. Our study shows that decision-making became an indicator of strengthening the role of women with a pattern of circular migration, which has a relationship on economic contribution. However, the behavior of women who perform the spatial migration in strengthening roles in families is not always relevant with the strengthening role of the economy. A strong role is only demonstrated by industrial migrant workers working on a circular migration pattern.

The Family

This article shows that a family perspective is especially important for the analysis of female migration because: (1) women are major participants in “family migration” as defined by governments and, although they benefit from family reunification provisions, they are also constrained by them; (2) migrant women are important economic actors and their participation in economic activity is closely related to the needs of their families, so that the choices that migrant women make regarding work cannot be understood without taking into account the situation of their families and women's roles within them; (3) women are increasingly becoming migrant workers in order to improve the economic status of their families; and (4) women rely on their families to provide various types of support that both make migration possible and condition its outcome. A review of the literature provides evidence supporting each of these observations.

The Family

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse in-depth how family owners develop autonomy through ownership for family members within the family, the family within the business and the business within its context. Design/methodology/approach A cross-cultural in-depth case study with best practice cases from China, Germany, Sweden, England, Tanzania, Israel and the USA. It was based on in-depth interviews of family members and non-family employees. Findings A business-owning family has to balance paradoxical choices such as safety or loss of attachments; a stable notion of self or grasping new opportunity; own drive or dependency on others. These constituted the micro-dynamics of autonomy. The macro-outcome of negotiating autonomy was strategy formations such as succession, cluster ownership, stewardship, new business models. Research limitations/implications The research findings enable a more differentiated analysis in case studies and qualitative research and with this theory development on family owner motivation. Practical implications It will give insight for practitioners, advisors and family owners, on the complexity of maintaining family health, family member commitment and emotional issues when developing ownership strategies. Social implications The paper offers a model over the complexity of autonomy, a main drive for entrepreneurship within our economy. It shows the complexity of gender and life stage choices. Originality/value The paper offers a model over the complexity of autonomy, regarded as the main drive for entrepreneurship and family ownership. It shows how this process is fundamental for understanding how the family develops its ownership.

Depth Interviews

Trust patterns in family-owned businesses are frequently catalyzed by one person. Such individuals are sometimes, but not always, family members who initiate, maintain, and help create higher trust for both the family and the organization. These Trust Catalysts often have little or no formal hierarchical authority in the business. To examine their influence on trust levels, we conducted in-depth interviews with more than 60 people from seven multigenerational companies and backed these findings with data from earlier pilot case studies. Their practices helped us to understand how trust develops, operates, and even expands within family business systems.

The Right

Read carefully: A Community national leaves his or her home state (the ‘first country’) to work in a host member state (the ‘second country’). While in the second country, he or she exercises the right to family reunification with a spouse, partner or dependent who is not a national of any EU or EEA member state (a ‘third-country’ national). When the Community national returns to the first country together with the family member, what determines the family member's right of residence in the first country? Community law – in which case the Community national would continue to enjoy the right of family reunification as before? Or the national immigration law of the first country, which could potentially dictate more restrictive conditions for family reunification?

Qualitative Research Methodology

This research assess and analyzes cybercrime's current state concerning the encompassing psychosocial context of victimization in Pakistan. This research discusses, explains, and interprets the determinants behind the psychosocial aspects of cybercrime victimization and combines the factors incorporated with the causes, patterns, and nature of psychosocial dilemmas in the Pakistani context. Qualitative research methodology by using purposive sampling is adopted, and five case studies are taken. This research is explanatory in its very nature. Unfortunately, Pakistan possesses an ideal environment for the growth of cybercrime. Women register 70% of the cybercrime cases, and more than 60% of crimes are Facebook related. Government officials were involved in leaking the private information of the victims. Most cases are filed against family members, and such cases get dropped even before a trial, as male members of the family represent females. Patriarchy reigns in its real sense as women comparatively have nominal opportunities in Pakistan.

Refugee Policies

AbstractDenmark's entry policies may be summarised by stating that, as a general rule, immigration is no longer possible for non-Nordic and non-EC nationals. The exception is the entry of certain family members under the family reunification program detailed below which is itself restrictively administered. In an effort to stem the flow of refugees, moreover, Denmark has adopted very restrictive provisions which have the effect of denying access to many 'Convention' refugees. Implicit in the Danish policy is a desire to stem the flow into Denmark of non-western Europeans, which usually means 'non-whites'.

Implementation Analysis

AbstractThis chapter aims to assess the implementation of national and EU legal migration instruments conducive to circular migration against the study’s benchmarks in the areas of work authorisation, residence status, and social security coordination which are key policy areas that need to be considered if this type of migration is to be facilitated. Each section commences with a legal and policy analysis of these instruments as of mid-2019 and then moves on to reveal their implementation dynamics. The implementation analysis is based on data retrieved from the Bulgarian and Polish administrations, focus groups with Ukrainian and Russian migrant workers, and interviews conducted with relevant stakeholders as part of the study as well as available data from recent studies. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the developed instruments against the study’s benchmarks in these three policy areas, looking inter alia into the possibility for migrants to change employer and occupation, access prolonged status, and export their pensions.
