“…This situation has been worse for people who live in immigration facilities or refugee camps. In this scenario, Italy is one of the European countries most impacted by this phenomenon, which is facilitated by some factors including: the pressure to migrate, the agility of the network and the total cost of migration (47). It has been demonstrated that a supra-national organization approach at the regional level is the most viable approach in the long term, with the ultimate goal of inter-regional cooperation on migration management based on equality between countries (48).…”

This study aims to assess the situation of Italian hotspots for migrant reception during the COVID-19 pandemic, and specifically analyzing the situation of two hotspots located in the Sicily Region (Pozzallo harbor and Lampedusa Island), to identify critical issues. At the same time, we hypothesize solutions to guarantee the respect of human rights and suggest an operational protocol to be applied in similar situations, considering that the migration phenomenon is increasing and involving new geographical areas. Based on data obtained through the site inspections, the facilities of Pozzallo and Lampedusa exceeded their capacity to adequately contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Considering these findings, we suggest a practical workflow summarizing the main actions that should be applied to contain COVID-19, or other infectious disease, spreading in hotspots for migrants. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrants has received limited attention, although the migration phenomenon did not slow down during the pandemic period. Regarding the risk of spreading infectious diseases such as COVID-19, it is necessary that those countries who are most exposed to migration flows, such as Italy, plan dedicated strategies to minimize the possibility of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, using adequate protocols to monitor the possible insurgence of variants of interest (VOIs) or variants of concern (VOCs). Finally, it is important to state that these suggestions could be applied in any future pandemics.

“…In this respect, they may be understood as calculative devices that operationalize the rationality of finance (Callon & Muniesa, 2005). By monetizing qualitative factors, such as labour, commodities, and nature, they price risk as a means for accounting, strategic planning and speculative financing (Ouma et al, 2018;Pedraza-Acosta & Mouritsen, 2018;Prasad et al, 2020). These techniques of financial inclusion articulate persons and things within global value chains that reorganize relations of production and consumption as collateral for the expansion of credit and the accumulation of debt.…”

The steady growth of international labour mobility has been one of the defining features of globalization. Alongside the liberalization of international trade, labour mobility has been a key dynamic propelling economic development in the new millennium. In recent years, migrant labour is increasingly regulated via temporary schemes, deepening and widening migrant precarity. This paper argues that a growing reliance on temporary migrant workers reflects the financialization of global agriculture. Drawing on conceptual debates among scholars of critical finance studies, migration governance and food systems, it explores the implications of financialization for social justice work, asking how a systemic understanding of the migrant experience with financial institutions and practices might enhance rights-based advocacy.

“…Although stable networks depend on the agency, strong ties may result in family firm needs, which grow in a self-network as sources of transnational migration (Wu et al , 2022). Following Chung et al (2020), Crowley-Henry et al (2021), Daovisan and Chamaratana (2021), Hesketh and Box (2020) and Prasad et al (2022) mentioned that the network capital concept includes the source of capital, the mechanism of capital, the objective of capital and the impact of capital. Karayianni et al (2023) claimed that the network capital concept relates to interpersonal ties with family firms to drive transnational networks.…”

Purpose Transnational migration is a key challenge in migrant-sending and host-receiving countries. However, relatively little is known about how migrants use network capital to foster small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how network capital fosters Laotian migrant workers in Thai family SMEs. Design/methodology/approach This research was conducted using qualitative network analysis (QNA). Referral snowball sampling was used to draw 20 participants from December 2021 to March 2022. Data analysis was performed using Gephi, a software package developed for QNA (coding, network features, measure nodes and network metrics). Findings The main findings are the following four emerging themes: chain networks, social networks, human networks and financial networks are associated with network capital for fostering Laotian migrant workers in Thai family SMEs. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first QNA to explore how Laotian migrant workers use network capital in Thai family SMEs.
