Несмотря на то что роль связей с соседями в жизни людей уменьшается, так как со-временные крупные города-мегаполисы предлагают в этом отношении слишком большой вы-бор, они не исчезли полностью, сохранив свою значимость для некоторых групп населения. В столичных городах мигранты поселяются в районах, в которых проживают мигранты из тех же стран, что и они. Эта ситуация представляет собой более сложное явление, чем социально-эко-номические факторы, и формы отношений, поддерживаемых внутри и за пределами своих рай-онов, в разных группах мигрантов могут различаться. Цель данного исследования -выявить важность связей в сетях мигрантов в Стамбуле с людьми, проживающими по соседству в одном ЗАРУБЕЖНЫЙ ОПЫТ Тюзин БайджанСтамбульский технический университет Стамбул, Турция, 34437, район Шишли, пл.

“…It allows us to explore the social interaction for the purpose of recruitment (the employer's perspective) and entry into the labour market (from the sole-agent nurse's perspective), while also effectively mapping the interaction between and outcomes engendered by the interaction within groups, between groups and across groups on a broader sectoral level (the health sector) and across countries (sending and receiving countries). That is, we are given the tools to capture the complexities emerging from group acceptance of information exchanges, the allocative outcomes emerging from this exchange, and the impact on the structure of the labour market sphere under investigation (Cranford 2005;Mahler and Pressar 2006;Perrault 2003).…”

The study examines the complex and stratified nature of the health care profession in Greece, which is increasingly staffed and thus shaped by female migrants. The research explores how immigrant labour is drawn on to fill the most urgent needs in the lower end of the nursing care sector, how immigrant labour gains access to these jobs, the implications of the recruitment process and the effect of these factors on the local labour market structure. It is shown that a predominantly female migrant cohort provides a ready source of nursing care, both complementing and further stratifying the local labour market while also contributing to the sustainability and reinforcement of the segmented health care arena.Résumé Cet article porte sur la nature complexe et stratifiée de la profession des soins de santé en Grèce où la dotation en personnel est de plus en plus assurée, et donc façonnée, par des migrantes. L'étude analyse le recours au travail immigrant pour répondre aux besoins les plus urgents dans les échelons inférieurs du secteur des soins infirmiers; les moyens qu'emploient les immigrants pour accéder à ces emplois; les conséquences du processus de recrutement; et l'effet de ces facteurs sur la structure du marché du travail local. Les résultats indiquent qu'une cohorte principalement composée de migrantes constitue une source accessible de soins infirmiers qui vient compléter et stratifier davantage le marché du travail local, tout en contribuant à la durabilité et au renforcement du secteur segmenté des soins de santé.

“…While most scholarship highlights the benefits of social networks between domestic workers, sometimes immigrant networks operate as "networks of exploitation" (Cranford 2005). Hondagneu-Sotelo's (1994a) work on social networks among Latina housecleaners shows that for some women social networks result in better working conditions while for others they depress wages.…”

Drawing on 1 year of ethnographic fieldwork in Los Angeles, this article examines how Latina nannies create workplace solidarity in a public park. This article reveals how nannies use public spaces in the neighborhoods in which they work to establish ties similar to co-worker relations in other settings. This paper demonstrates how nannies create a community at the park by incorporating park staff into their activities, reinforcing group values such as sharing and reciprocity, and distinguishing themselves from their employers. Adding to previous research which highlights the atomization and stigmatization that comes with domestic employment, this article shows how nannies create co-worker relationships that are buffers against unfavorable job conditions such as solitary work settings and unappreciative employers.Keywords Latina/o immigrants . Domestic work . Labor Every day in Los Angeles, affluent neighborhoods import Latino service workers such as gardeners, maids, and nannies to perform household tasks. The influx of workers increases social inequalities within households and neighborhoods, because employers are often of a different racial/ethnic group and socioeconomic status than those they employ. However, the same characteristics that distinguish household service workers from their employers serve as the foundation for their informal ties with one another. Neighborhood workers share similar low-wage labor positions, and often language and culture, creating the opportunity for Latino workers to create communities in non-Latino neighborhoods.This paper extends and deepens this insight through a case study of nannies that regularly gather in a public park during their workdays. Although domestic work is often characterized as being socially isolating, this paper illustrates how the structure of domestic work enables women to create communities in their employers' neighborhood. As such, the Qual Sociol
