“…For a long time, Romania was considered a country of emigration (Ulrich et al 2011;United Nations 2017). This status has emerged in the past twenty years due to the steady migration of Romanian citizens mainly towards Western Europe, which involved more than 3.5 million people in longer or shorter migration projects (Sandu 2010;Anghel et al 2016;Ciobanu 2015). It generated massive loss of human resources and brain drain as well as generating population losses in many regions of the country (Vlase 2013;Ciobanu 2010;Moroşanu 2016;Anghel and Horváth 2009).…”

“…Second, such an examination will reveal the consequences of EU enlargement for a specific group of migrants usually omitted in the studies of labour migration (Burrell 2010;Favell 2008;Wallace 2002;Wiesböck 2013). Third, such an account can contribute to our understanding of how the au pair institution develops over time (see also Búriková & Miller 2010;Busch 2015;Cox 2006;Cox 2015;Liarou 2015;Newcombe 2004).…”

EU Enlargement and Au Pairing in the United Kingdom: <i>The experiences and migratory strategies of Slovak au pairs</i>

This article draws upon ethnographic fieldwork on Slovak au pairs in the United Kingdom during 2004 and 2005. Connecting the macro level of regulations (i.e. immigration rules regarding au pairs, the visa regime and access to the labour market) with the micro level of relationships within host households, I examine the migration experiences of Slovak au pairs during the time of EU enlargement. I argue that the abolishment of the UK visas and unlimited access to the UK labour market affected the working conditions of au pairs and enabled Slovak citizens to make au pairing part of larger migration projects. The experience of au pairs demonstrates that when considering the role of migration status in the experience of paid domestic workers, we have to consider the wider context of being a migrant, not merely the particular visa regime.

Labour Migration Flows: Eu8+2 vs Eu-15

The aim of this paper is to determine whether, and to what extent, the migrations from the EU-8+2 to the EU-15 were motivated by differences in earnings and productivity and to what extent by differences in welfare state generosity during the period of the transitional arrangements. On these grounds, a distinction emerges between "favourable" and "unfavourable" migrations on one hand and immigration net winners and losers on the other hand. The obtained results represent an empirical ground for the discussion on the thesis according to which more generous welfare state regimes will be more susceptible to the influx of unfavourable immigrants during the upcoming period of the free movement of labour, while the less generous welfare state regimes will be a magnet for the favourable immigration influx within the EU-27.
