“…However, there is a growing consensus among researchers that the free movement of EU citizens does not imply their access to similar socioeconomic positions as those occupied by local citizens. Downward mobility (Favell & Nebe, 2009) and de-qualification (Glorius et al, 2013) are widespread phenomena that structurally lead to labour market segmentation and marginalised positions in the labour market (Favell, 2018;Glorius et al, 2013). Regarding CEE intra-EU migrants in Austria, Reeger (2018) also points to regulatory difficulties related to the nostrification of degrees, de-qualification, lower wages, and longer working hours.…”

Language has gained increasing importance in immigration policies in Western European states, with a new model of citizenship, the <em>ius linguarum</em> (Fejes, 2019; Fortier, 2022), at its core. Accordingly, command of the (national) languages of host states operates both as a resource and as an ideological framework, legitimating the reproduction of inequalities among various migrant and non‐migrant groups. In this article, we analyse the implications of such processes in the context of state‐subsidised language teaching for refugees and migrants in Austria. Specifically, the article aims to explore labour migration, namely that of Central and Eastern European (CEE, including EU and non‐EU citizen) professionals—mainly language teachers who enter the field of adult language teaching in Austria seeking a living and career prospects that they cannot find in the significantly underpaid educational sectors of CEE states. This article shows that the arrival of CEE professionals into these difficult and precarious jobs is enabled first by historical processes linking the CEE region to former political and economic power centres. Second, it is facilitated by legal, administrative, and symbolic processes that construct CEE citizens as second‐order teachers in the field of migrant education in Austria. Our article, based on ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews, highlights nuanced ways in which historically, economically, and politically embedded language geographies contribute to the reproduction of hierarchies of membership, inclusion, and exclusion in present‐day immigration societies.

“…Dotykały również zmienności w czasie, koncentrując się jednak zwykle na wpływie konkretnych wydarzeń (np. akcesja do UE lub wprowadzenia wiz dla obywateli Europy Wschodniej, ale także ataki z 11 września 2001 r. na ruch między Stanami Zjednoczonymi i Kanadą; Olmedo i Soden, 2005;Heather, 2005, Maoh i in., 2016 na rozkład i strukturę ruchu (Ilies, 2005;Brücker i in., 2009;Szejgiec 2010;Wiśniewski, 2010;Glorius i in., 2013;Powęska, 2014;Marcu, 2015).

The primary objective of the present monograph is to determine the causes and to obtain the model-based generalization of the long-term variability as to the magnitude and structure of the traffic of persons across the boundaries of Poland, in dependence upon the economic, social and geopolitical variables, as well as those associated with the development of infrastructure. This primary objective was achieved through realization of the partial objectives, having complementary cognitive, methodological, theoretical, and also to some extent applied character. The partial objectives were constituted by: — assessment of trends in cross-border traffic (magnitudes and structures) in the years 1990‑2020 based on the observed data, acquired from the Border Guards (in the division into Schengen boundaries – analysis for the years 1990‑2007, and the eastern boundary – analysis for the years 1990‑2020); — assessment of dependence between, on the one hand, the trends in the magnitude and structure of the cross-border traffic, and, on the other hand, the variables, representing the economic, social, geopolitical and infrastructural development situation in Poland and in the neighboring countries, as well as the variables illustrating the intensity of the transboundary socio-economic interactions; — assessment of changes in the international mobility of Poles; — development of a formalized model of changes in cross-border traffic as dependent upon the variables considered; — identification and conceptualization of the observed transformations in the international spatial mobility; — formulation of the theoretical generalizations, explaining the variability in the intensity and structure of the cross-border traffic and their relations to the existing body of knowledge in this domain.

“…When there exist wage differences between countries and there are limited job opportunities in some of them, people from lower waged countries seek work abroad to earn more, even though they may have to accept jobs below their formal qualifications (cf. Parutis, 2014; Trevena, 2013; Johnston, Khattab, & Manley, 2015; Sirkeci, Acik, Saunders, & Přívara, 2018). However, generating income is not the only benefit of temporary work abroad (cf.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the interplay between international migration, soft skills and job and life satisfaction after returns.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses the dataset of Human Capital in Poland 2010–2014 representative surveys with 4040 return migrants, who worked temporarily abroad and returned to an origin in comparison with almost 70,000 stayers, who never worked abroad. In this study, Poland is treated as a strategic research site for the labor migration processes, which happened after the biggest European Union enlargement in 2004.FindingsThis study discovered that working abroad had a positive relation with cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies, as well as job and life satisfaction. However, the relations differ depending on the key destination country.Practical implicationsThis study discusses the implications for future research and practice, offering recommendations to organizations on how to embed employees with these resources in companies and how to support return migrants and their potential employers with the use of migratory informal human capital in personnel management and counseling.Originality/valueThis paper brings quantitative arguments about the hidden impacts of international migration on human capital by uniquely comparing the migrant population with the non-migrant population.
