“…Yet, it was only relatively recently, in the 19th century, that migration was recognised as a social phenomenon and consequently investigated (Gabaccia, 2014). Arguably, due to forces of globalisation, people's mobility between and within national borders became normalised not only due to globalisation but other processes including demographic transformation, urban development, and technological advancements and today it is a necessity in some work environments and for some people's livelihoods (Vollmer et al., 2015; White, 2011). Migration is one of the key processes of social change and development (Klagge et al., 2007).…”

Immigration was a decisive factor in pre-Brexit-vote debates and it remains one of the most divisive topics globally; therefore, it is worthy of attention. Whilst the British people had an opportunity to have their say on Brexit, EU migrant workers have not. This article gives them a voice as it is based on original data from 40 qualitative interviews with female EU citizens to the UK, conducted before and after the Brexit-vote. This article further develops the notion of precarity in relation to EU migrants to the UK in light of Brexit and adds to debates on gender in migration.This paper provides wider policy implications for the British and other EU countries' authorities as it engages with debates on Brexit from the point of view of the UK labour force as voices of economic women migrants from Poland are presented.

“…Social research on German migrants' decision to live abroad has focused on how emigration affects Germany, which groups of Germans leave, what triggers emigration, and whether German migrants live abroad contentedly (SVR-Forschungsbereich, 2015). Considering that a remarkable number of highly skilled individuals are among the German migrants, research has mainly dealt with the question of whether a permanent human capital flight has occurred (Ette & Sauer, 2010) and which motives are related to the migration decision of this specific migrant group (Chowdhury, 2014;Remhof, 2008;Verwiebe, Mau, Seidel, & Kathmann, 2010;Vollmer, Sert, & İçduygu, 2015).…”

“…Arguably, due to the forces of globalisation, people's mobility between and within national borders became normalised and is a necessity in some work environments (e.g. banking, marketing) and for some people's livelihoods (Vollmer, Sert, & İçduygu, 2015;White, 2011). In the past, migration was characterised by a movement of people from point A to point B, now those moves appear to have become more unpredictable (Wallace, 2002).…”

Polish migration to the UK post European Union enlargement has been studied extensively but limited attention has been paid to women and their gendered mobility. In this paper, I argue that it is key to turn attention to women migrants as those who are often responsible for reproductive labour and who raise future generations of workers and citizens. This is pivotal to consider in light of ageing European societies and the need for workers and Brexit. Arguably, precarity is characteristic of contemporary life. This applies to the post-Brexit-vote UK and the uncertainty linked to the future after 2019. Precarity is inevitably characteristic of many migrants' lives often punctuated by a lack of job security which is linked to limited material and psychological well-being. For women migrants, this state of affairs is further compounded by their attachment to the private sphere which often constitutes a barrier to their engagement in the paid labour market on the same footing as men. This paper draws on qualitative primary data gathered from 32 Polish women migrants who were initially interviewed in 2012/2013 and subsequently some of them were re-interviewed in 2016/2017.
