“…In previous studies, the working classes have been associated with the concept of 'community' and place attachment, while in contrast the middle classes have been considered to be more individualistic and relatively less place-attached (see Halfacree and Boyle 1993 ). One may wonder whether a similar pattern is also emerging in Barcelona's neighbourhoods, and whether the local associative networks and institutions are relevant for immigrants' integration and, if so, how (Bruquetas et al 2011 ). In this sense, it may be helpful to consider how the passage of time has affected immigrants' participation in associations (Layton-Henry 1990 ;Morén-Alegret 2002a , b ).…”

“…The initial wave of migration occurred in the absence of entry regulations and was met with a random and discretionary response (for Italy, see Zincone 2012; for Spain, Bruquetas-Callejo et al 2012). In 1985, Spain introduced a new immigration law concerning low-skilled migrants, only to reform it in 1993 (Bruquetas-Callejo et al 2012). Italy introduced its law in 1986 and reformed it in 1990 (Zincone 2012).…”

Badante or Bride? Patterns of Female Migration in Italy, Japan, Korea, and Spain

This article investigates the intersection of care and migration regimes by comparing four carefully matched familialist countries—Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Spain. These four countries, while sharing a similar familialist culture and welfare regime, responded to the problem of eldercare deficits differently in the 1990s and the 2000s. Italy and Spain developed a ‘migrant-in-the-family model,’ relying heavily on informal eldercare provided by migrant workers whom Italians colloquially call badante. Korea and Japan, by contrast, relied more on marriage migrants, with Korea developing its own variant of the migrant-in-the-family model where the migrant is typically the daughter-in-law. In Japan, some marriage migrants became care workers in the formal eldercare sector. By tracing the historical trajectories of female migration to these four countries, the article identifies a recursive relationship between migration regimes and care regimes. Initial differences in migration regimes shaped the female migratory pathways in specific ways, which, in turn, affected the development of distinctive eldercare regimes. Once these new care regimes emerged, however, they influenced the migration regime in the next cycle. The article contributes to the literatures on the intersection of care and migration regimes by untangling the reciprocal feedback processes between these two systems.

“…The first piece of legislation introduced to regulate foreign immigrant flows, the Foreigners Law of 1985, was the result of Spain's need to align its policies to those of the EC bodies, rather than being a policy response to growing immigration pressure. According to this framework – known as the general regime – the entry of a labour migrant was based on an employer request and the admission was left essentially to administrative discretion (Bruquetas-Callejo et al ., 2008). A key discriminator was a labour market test whose criteria were only vaguely defined.…”

“…While the quota system could have been used to introduce selective immigration policies, its actual effects have been rather limited (Bruquetas-Callejo et al ., 2008) because of a widespread lack of enforcement. The result has been the creation of large stocks of irregular migrants, which have periodically benefitted from large regularisation programmes.…”

In this paper we review the policies put in place by the main Western destination countries to attract highly skilled migrants. Two main systems can be identified. On the one hand, employer-driven schemes typically call for the migrant to meet a set of minimum skill requirements and to have a job offer before a work visa can be issued. On the other, employee driven schemes typically do not require a job offer, and instead select the migrant based on a set of characteristics chosen by the policy maker. Employer driven schemes are the dominant policy tool in the sample of countries we consider in the analysis, and only Australia, Canada and New Zealand have made employee-driven schemes the mainstay of their skill selective immigration policy. The preliminary evidence we review suggests that the latter are more effective in increasing the skill level of the immigrant population, and casts doubts on the usefulness of new initiatives like the EU blue card that are still based on an employer driven system.
