Resumo: O processo migratório internacional é um elemento constituinte do capitalismo em escala global, tendo suas características fortemente condicionadas pelas transformações na divisão internacional do trabalho. O desenvolvimento do capitalismo em nosso continente é marcado pelo fenômeno da dependência, que, por sua incidência sobre as condições de vida e de trabalho da população, engendra historicamente um conjunto de fatores de expulsão desta força de trabalho rumo a outros países. A região sul de Santa Catarina insere-se nesta dinâmica, fundamentalmente através da crise de suas estruturas produtivas ligadas ao Complexo Carbonífero e do processo emigratório rumo aos Estados Unidos. Pretende-se neste trabalho avaliar as relações históricas existentes entre a estrutura produtiva carbonífera, a divisão internacional do trabalho e o processo emigratório desde a região, conferindo especial atenção à utilização da força de trabalho imigrante nos Estados Unidos, enquanto elemento essencial da acumulação de capital atualmente. Para tal, avaliamos a hipótese de que a crise do complexo carbonífero tenha atuado nas últimas décadas como um fator de expulsão da força de trabalho local, e ainda a hipótese de que haja uma superexploração dos trabalhadores imigrantes nos Estados Unidos. A metodologia deste trabalho é composta por uma ampla revisão teórica e bibliográfica, por uma caracterização sócia demográfica da Mesorregião Sul de Santa Catarina e do município de Criciúma através dos dados quantitativos disponíveis, pela construção de um perfil social do emigrante criciumense e uma realização de entrevistas qualitativas com agentes do Estado de Santa Catarina e com familiares de migrantes internacionais da região. Por fim, apresentamos os contornos teóricos e algumas evidências empíricas do estudo das remessas de migrantes, conferindo particular atenção aos conceitos de dependência das remessas e de síndrome emigratória
Abstract: The process of international migration is a constituent of capitalism on a global scale, with its characteristics strongly conditioned by changes in the international division of labor. The development of capitalism in our continent is characterized by the phenomenon of dependency, which, by its impact on the living conditions and working population, historically engenders a set of push factors of this workforce towards other countries. The southern region of Santa Catarina is part of this dynamic, primarily through the crisis of their productive structures related to complex Carboniferous and emigration process into the United States. The aim of this work was to evaluate the historic relationship existing among the structure productive coal, the international division of labor and the emigration process from the region, with special attention to the use of immigrant labor force in the United States as a key element of capital accumulation today. To this end, we evaluated the hypothesis that the complex coal crisis has acted in the past decades as a factor in expulsion from the local workforce, and also the hypothesis that there is a super-exploitation of immigrant workers in the United States. The methodology of this study consists of a comprehensive review and theoretical literature, the socio-demographic region of Southern Santa Catarina and in city of Criciúma through quantitative data, building a social profile of the Criciúma's emigrants and conducting qualitative interviews agents of the State of Santa Catarina and family of international migrants in the region. Finally, we present the outlines theoretical and some empirical evidence from the study of remittances of migrants, with particular attention to the concepts of dependency on remittances and emigration syndrome

"Negotiating gender, sexuality, class and ethnicity: women-loving Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong." 2013. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b5549301.
Full textGlobalization has seen the acceleration of migration and movement across national borders. Prompted by a gap in the economic development between the two places, many Filipinas move from their homeland to Hong Kong to work as Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs). Academic attention on their lives has flourished over the last two decades. However, the lesbian practice of FDWs remains under-investigated. Through participant observation of two Filipina FDW groups and in-depth interviews of ten Filipina lesbian domestic workers in Hong Kong, the current research investigates how their lesbian practices intricately relate to their social position in the Philippines and in Hong Kong, as well as the Filipino concept of gender and sexuality. As independent wage workers, these Filipinas enjoy elevated status at home while familial control decreases with distance. In the work destination, which offers better protection towards personal autonomy, the level of societal surveillance they face is further limited with their non-integration into the host society. Hence, their positions at both societies help shield them from tight social control, allowing them to practice homosexuality with relative ease.
This ethnographic study thus affirms the liberating effects of migration for opening up new sexual / gender possibilities: as well as engaging in same-sex relationships for the first time, some of these Filipina FDWs assume masculine identities only after coming to Hong Kong. Yet, the assumption of new gender identity runs contrary to the Filipino concept of gender, which privileges on a persistent inner self. Novice tomboys, therefore, often suffer much from social stigma as the change in gender identity is even more inexplicable to the Filipinas than a change in sexual orientation.
This current research meanwhile documents the performances of masculinity and femininity by these lesbian Filipina FDWs. While observing the significance of gender role-playing in Filipina lesbian relationships, this thesis highlights the presence of a more balanced mix of masculinities and femininities in both butches and femmes. Findings of the present study thus repudiate the dichotomous divides between masculinity and femininity; heterosexuality and homosexuality.

With the takeoff economy in 1980’s, which we call “the era of economy miracle”, many working opportunities boomed at that time in Taiwan. Plus the prevalent education and the low birth rate has stagnated the growth of labors which resulted in more and more mid-sized companies feel the shortage of labor force. In view of those factors, government has approved importing foreign workers for the first time in the year of 1989. Since those foreign workers come from different countries where cultures have dissimilarities from those in Taiwan, while managing those workers, different cultural backgrounds, religions, values and customs need to be taken into account. The purpose of this paper is to study foreign worker management under national cultural dimensional perspective. The respondents are Taiwanese and Filipino entry level workers from ASE (Advanced semiconductor Engineering Group), the world''s largest provider of independent semiconductor manufacturing services in assembly and test. located in NEPZ (Nantze Economic Processing Zone). The research methodology I used is a re-fined paper questionnaire based on Hofstede’s international attitude survey which was revised by Lu Long-Chuan to incorporate a much more suitable questions for industries, From the results, we know that different management should be applied to foreign workers who have different cultures from Taiwanese. Filipino workers have higher mean on “Power distance”, “Masculinity”, and “Individualism”, and Taiwanese workers have higher mean on “Uncertainty avoidance” and “Long term orientation”. The higher mean, the higher inclination to each dimension. By incorporating those dimension inclinations with living management and working management, plus the interviews, I came up with improved management for employers’ references.

The reason to cause Philippine workers had various disputes or argument phenomena is that they were not satisfied with current supervisors’ leadership style or related to company unfair management treatment, which leaded to Philippines workers increase the complains even request for termination of the contract. The aim of this study is to discuss and explore personally managed 27 manufactures of Filipino workers around Tainan City Area, there were a positive relationship between all the factory disputes, deficiency of dormitory policy, the total number of violations of labor laws and the performance evaluation of foreign workers and the leadership style of supervisors in full-year of 2018? This study surveyed for total 271 Filipino migrants and 49 first-line leaders from 27 categories of manufacturing industries as subjects and through giving questionnaire for first-line leaders to fill up the form for their higher manager leadership style. Forty-nine questionnaires were distributed. All are returned and valid, such that the valid returned rate was 100%. Then, the data run for Analysis and Inspection with SPSS Statistical software; In addition, I also collected migration personal information and analyzed the impact of the practical viewpoints on the and irregularities of Filipino migrant workers working in Taiwan, leadership style of front line supervisor and personal background of migrant workers, we hope that through this study, there is a better management model among employers, employee and agency. This study found that “Compassionate” leadership was a type of supervisor easily appreciate to workers were reached a job target or done for a task from company with their encouraging and caring to workers and show the praise to those workers, it was the type of the highest number of abnormal condition and arguments; in addition, we found “Advocacy” leadership had the lowest number of abnormal condition and arguments, due to supervisors know that work should be completed on schedule and meet the expectations of supervisors and the foreign workers can be required to follow company policy, and clear how important of their position in company. Otherwise, the case of migrant workers in violation of laws and competent leadership style was not significantly related to the total number of violations; and there was no significant correlation between the total number of violations of the migration and the personal background data of the migrant workers also. The empirical results of this study can be used as reference and recommendation for service industry and traditional industry as effective management of migration workers.

Due to the interplay of factors such as population ageing, women's entry into paid employment and the decline of the welfare state, EU Member State face increasing needs for domestic work services – primarily care but also cleaning and other housekeeping services. The majority of domestic workers in Europe today are migrants, both EU and third-country nationals. They tend to work under precarious conditions that make them vulnerable to day-to-day exploitation. Migrant domestic workers face low wages, long and unregulated working hours, workplace harassment, lack of protection if they become pregnant, and unlawful dismissals. Such vulnerabilities are to some extent attributed to intersections of race, class and gender-based prejudices. Yet law, in particular migration and labour law, has an important role in constructing and sustaining vulnerabilities. My aim in this thesis is twofold: to examine the role of law in structuring vulnerability and to identify legal sources that can challenge and reduce certain aspects of this vulnerability. In the first part of the thesis I identify the key dimensions of migration law that make domestic workers vulnerable to then build a typology of the different migration law regimes of EU Member States. To examine the role of labour law, I compare the labour law regulation of domestic work in four Member States: Spain, Sweden, Cyprus and the UK. The analysis sheds light to labour law's very different ways in structuring and, in certain instances, reducing vulnerability. In the second part of the thesis I examine the treatment of migrant domestic workers under EU law. I first give an overview of EU migration law sources to locate and evaluate norms relevant to domestic workers. Then I revisit a debate on the personal scope of EU employment law and challenge the flawed assumption that it does not apply to domestic work. I finally argue that EU employment law is a useful but largely misunderstood resource for domestic workers.

Full textViel Stress und mangelnde Stressbewältigung beeinflussen das gesamte Leben von interkulturellen Mitarbeitern, wie Gesundheit, geistliches Leben, Arbeitsleistung und Beziehungen. Langjährige und umfangreiche Information über Stress und Stressbewältigung zeigte nur wenig positive Veränderung. Diese Untersuchung beschreibt und reflektiert das Erleben und den Umgang mit Stress interkultureller Mitarbeiter, um eine Grundlage für bessere Möglichkeiten zum Stressmanagement im interkulturellen Kontext zu schaffen und damit authentisches geistliches Leben zu fördern. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, aufzuzeigen, wie die Pastoraltherapie interkulturelle Mitarbeiter in ihrem Stressmanagement unterstützen kann. Die Untersuchung über Stress und Stressmanagement von christlichen Mitarbeitern im interkulturellen Kontext soll interkulturelle Mitarbeiter, ihre sendenden Organisationen und Seelsorger informieren und eine Grundlage für Workshops und pastoral-therapeutische Gespräche über Stressmanagement werden. Diese Arbeit zeigt auf, dass Pastoraltherapie einen wichtigen Beitrag in der Verbesserung der Stressbewältigung von christlichen interkulturellen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern leisten kann.
Cross-cultural workers often experience very stressful conditions yet often lack appropriate coping mechanisms. Too much stress over a long period of time influences every aspect of life, like health, spiritual life, work performance and relationships. Continuous and extensive information about stress and stress management have not brought the desired changes. This research analyses stressful conditions and stress management strategies of intercultural workers in order to show the reasons for this lack of stress management. The outcome of this research will be used as a foundation to help intercultural workers to find ways how to manage their stress more effectively and to foster authentic spiritual life.The goal of this study is to highlight how pastoral therapy can support intercultural workers in their stress management. This research will show that pastoral therapy can make a significant contribution to improve stress management for Christian cross-cultural workers.

The existence of immigrant and ethnic penalties in the labour market is a recurrent finding. Migration research has, however, drawn little upon social stratification literature, despite sharing common concerns, to explain them. In this thesis, I seek to contribute to bridging the gap between the two disciplines. I pose two overall hypotheses: (i) compositional differences in social background across ethnic-minority groups and natives are likely to explain an important part of labour market penalties; and (ii) the strength of the effect of social origin on destination and its mechanisms of transmission might differ across groups. These hypotheses are tested by first using log-multiplicative layer effect models followed by different specifications of multivariate analyses based on data from Understanding Society. The findings show that: (i) class overrides ethnicity in explaining intergenerational mobility, although the strength of the OD association differs by ethnic origin and gender; (ii) labour-force participation is a gendered process with significant differences across migration status and ethnic origin, which are partly explained by the work status of the mother-in-law transmitted through partner/spouse’s characteristics; (iii) employment penalties are explained to a large extent by parental work status, education, and age, with variation in the strength of the effect of the last two factors across ethnic origin; and (iv) some groups experience more difficulties than natives with similar class backgrounds in employment as well as access to (and stable placement in) the salariat, although education exerts a compensatory effect. I conclude by arguing that future research should investigate further within-group explanations by deepening in the role of different mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of social (dis)advantage at different levels of the labour market.
