This article investigates the role of economic restructuring in the construction sectors in the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Our analysis is based on a unique dataset obtained via questionnaire surveys in Zakarpattia region of Ukraine and multivariate models linking prior work experience in the Ukrainian construction sector and the likelihood of working in the Czech construction sector, net of other theoretically important controls. The results of our research show that integration of the Czech and Ukrainian construction sectors has created international “structural channels”, that push migration from Ukraine to the Czech Republic along occupational lines. We draw implications of the analysis for the broader international economic restructuring and integration in the European Union.

Norway has experience of labour migration in a longer historical perspective, particularly in connection with the large-scale emigration to North America until the First World War. This article argues that in recent years labour migration to Norway has increased significantly and has become the most important reason for immigration. The process is beneficial since migrant workers help meeting demand for labour, and thereby also contribute to economic growth, to unblocking bottlenecks in the labour market and to curbing price and costs increases. At the same time, the Norwegian Government and trade unions focus on preventing labour migration from resulting in a dualisation of the labour market, with the creation of a separate segment for foreign labour with terms and standards that are significantly inferior to those applicable to other workers. This applies especially to the so-called posted workers who are in Norway on short-term contracts. Since May 2004 Norway has received a large number of labour migrants from the new European Union countries, mostly from Poland. In 2007, about nine out of every ten permits to labour migrants were granted to persons from the European Economic Area (EEA), while Nordic citizens do not require any permits. In turn, the main emphasis in the regulation of labour migration from third countries is on facilitating the recruitment of skilled labour. The main aim of the proposals presented in April 2008 to the Storting by the Government in the White Paper on labour migration is to contribute to a migration policy that is flexible, more transparent and predictable for all involved parties.

One of the central categories of analysis in the study of international migration are the motives. The article is an attempt to describe the phenomenon of the temporality of migration as an important perspective for providing an overview of the factors determining the decisions to work abroad which entail numerous consequences - particularly the necessity to accept the status of a labour migrant. Temporariness is treated as a specific sort of time frame, as it is separated from the planned biography which is the framework for one’s authentic identity. Depending on the circumstances, i.e. the social and economic conditions in which prospective emigrants operate, temporariness has different meanings in their choices.

The article deals with the phenomenon of labour migration of the Serbian population to Slovakia, which has started to record a sharp increase in the last few years, especially since 2015. The paper is the result of anthropological field research, which was intended to find out the main causes and push factors of migration from Serbia, as well as the main reasons and pull factors for coming to Slovakia. The aim of the paper is to explain why migrants from Serbia, who historically preferred the countries of the centre in the context of world-systems theory, or in this context the countries of Western Europe as the destination countries of their migration process, are nowadays in increasing numbers choosing to migrate to semi-peripheral countries, such as Slovakia. The issue is examined through the prism of theoretical concepts of dependency theory and world systems theory aimed at explaining the phenomenon of migration from a periphery country (Serbia) to a semi-periphery country (Slovakia). The main argument of the paper consists of the assertion that certain economic reasons may represent the driving force of labour migration, but certain socio-cultural aspects play a key and often decisive role in the choice of the destination country, often to the detriment of economic factors.

In the paper, we study a range of problems connected with the relations between the contemporary international migration flows from Poland and the polish labour market. In the centre of our interest are the consequences of the massive labour force outflow. We take into consideration different types of migration strategies chosen by those who move. The aim of the paper is to present various direct and indirect consequences of the international mobility of Poles, depending on the duration of migration and its character. The typology used by the authors distinguishes four types of migration: seasonal or circulation, 'intentional unpredictability', of long-term and settlement. We show that the choice of migration strategy results in specific labour market consequences. These consequences are further enhanced by selectivity patterns of Poles towards particular strategies. The main conclusion is that the influence of post-accession emigration on the polish labour market is ambiguous and diverse.

Poland’s accession to the EU exponentially increased the mobility of its citizens and changed the geography of Polish migration to Western Europe. Poles go abroad to improve their livelihoods: to work, earn competitive wages, and to study. Post-accession migrants hail mainly from small communities. The paper is based on empirical research in a small community of Wronka in the West Pomeranian Voivodship. The goal of this case study was to reconstruct the history of labour mobility of Wronka’s residents, identify migration paths of their families, and analyse the effects of labour migration on the sending community. Departing from the customary analytical lens, this study analyses Polish mobility from the point of view of the sending, not the destination community. In the context of Wronka, mobility has become the norm in this previously immobile community centred around the state-owned farm, and appears to be a strategy used to cope with social, economic, and political change.
