摘要

本文将技能作为移民治理的一个不可分割但尚未得到充分研究的方面进行研究。迄今为止,移民研究主要集中在对移民技能的需求如何推动人们跨境流动,如何塑造进入西方热门目的地的条件。相比之下,技能如何影响政府管理移民的方式,促使潜在移民在离开原籍国之前就获得某些能力,这一点却鲜为人知。本文以菲律宾为例,讨论国家机构如何利用技能培训来主导移民专业人员的特定市场,并要求海外菲律宾工人提高工资。然而,这种对技能的强调也加剧了国内现有的不平等,造成了国家官员无法完全解决和控制的社会问题。我们认为,这些问题源于私立学校和培训公司,它们主导着向有抱负的移民提供技能。尽管这些因素对工人迁移轨迹的影响越来越大,但在目前的学术研究中,它们在很大程度上被忽视了。本文强调了为跨境劳动力市场生产工人的挑战,以及它对我们如何理解整体移民治理的影响。

Governing Migration, Producing Skills: Emigration and Education in the Philippines
This article examines skill as an integral yet understudied aspect of emigration governance. To date, migration studies have mainly focused on how the demand for migrant skills drive people's movements across borders, shaping the conditions for entry into popular destinations in the West. In contrast, less is known as to how skills also shape the way governments manage emigration, pushing would-be migrants to acquire certain capacities well before they leave their countries of origin. Drawing from the case of the Philippines, this article discusses how state agencies have used skills training to dominate specific markets for migrant professionals and demand higher wages for Filipino workers abroad. Yet, this emphasis on skilling has also worsened existing inequalities within the country, creating social problems that state officials are unable to fully address and control. We argue that such issues stem from the private schools and training companies who dominate skills provision for aspiring migrants. Such actors remain largely overlooked in current scholarship, despite their increasing influence on workers’ migration trajectories. This paper highlights the challenges of producing workers for labor markets beyond borders, as well as its implications on how we understand migration governance as a whole.
