This chapter investigates the notion of ‘precarity’, particularly in relation to the paid labour market and the migrants within it. The fashioning of precarious workers is analysed and put against the backdrop of EU workforce. Precarity has been much discussed by politicians (Neilson and Rossiter 2008) and in the theorisation of neoliberal labour (Standing, 2011). This discussion provides a comparative perspective on how the socio-political, cultural, demographic and geographic context interlinks with individual migration experiences. I explore whether the process of migration always brings about some element of uncertainty and thus whether precarity and migration are synonyms. The chapter ends with discussion on precarity in contemporary world which is characterised by increased job insecurity which consequently heightens uncertainty about the future. Throughout this chapter I present extracts from interviews with migrants to the UK referring to their lives before 2016 and after as well as their plans and hopes for the future.","PeriodicalId":287961,"journal":{"name":"EU Migrant Workers, Brexit and Precarity","volume":"29 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133754814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kristin","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvdtpj5b.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvdtpj5b.10","url":null,"abstract":"The European Treaty of Accession in 2004 precipitated an unprecedented influx of immigrants to Britain. Among the new A8 (Eastern European countries with low per capita incomes) countries, Polish were the most dominant, most numerous and the most visible. With the accession to the EU, it was now possible for Polish migrants to move, to work in, and live in the UK with almost no restrictions. The present thesis focused on the changing migration motivations by contrasting the history of Polish migration to the migration since 2004.By analyzing aspects like age, gender relation, and social network, the question in how far the motivations have changed was answered and these aspects were examined through migration models by Lee (1966) and Ravenstein (1899). Furthermore, to discover changes in migration behavior, these aspects were compared and concluded that the type of migration has changed from chain migration to circular migration, implying that migrants return home after a specific interval. The accession in 2004 resulted in a new type of migration and points towards a cyclical migration trend within Europe.","PeriodicalId":287961,"journal":{"name":"EU Migrant Workers, Brexit and Precarity","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131268381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
