1.  Introduction    One   of   the   main   migration   flows   within   Europe   is   mobility   of   Central   and   Eastern-­‐European  (CEE)  migrants  who   are  mostly   citizens   of   the   European  Union   (EU)   (Black   et   al.   2010).   Their  mobility  can  be  considered  as  a   form  of  socio-­‐economic  participation  on  the  European   labour  market  with  consequences  for  urban  cohesion  and  policies.  Recent  research  show  that  patterns  of   CEE  migration  are   diversifying   beyond   the   seasonal   and   circular   forms   of   labour  migration  that   initially   characterized   CEE   migration;   and   other   types   of   migration   have   emerged   that  involve  a  more  permanent  presence  of  CEE  migrants   in  the  receiving  regions  (Engbersen  et  al.  2011,   2013).   Based   on   the   assumption   that   different   types   of  migration   have   different   social  implications  on  the  receiving  urban  regions,   the  IMAGINATION  project  aims  to  contribute  to  a  better   theorization   of   the   relationship   between   different   types   of  migration,   different   urban  social  implications  and  their  linkage  with  different  governance  approaches.      Map  1:  Urban  regions  selected  in  the  IMAGINATION  project  

   Accordingly,  the  first  task  is  to  identify  different  types  of  CEE  migration  (TOMs),  which  are  not  only  limited  to  seasonal  labour  migration,  but  to  more  permanent  forms  of  mobility  as  well  as  irregular   migration.   There   are   four   countries   under   research   here,   focusing   on   two   urban  regions   in   each   country:   Vienna   and   Linz   in   Austria,   The   Hague   and   Rotterdam   in   the  Netherlands,  Stockholm   and  Gothenburg   in  Sweden,   and  Edirne   and   Istanbul   in  Turkey   (See  Map   1).   Each   research   team   has   collected   available   data   on   CEE   migration   in   an   effort   to  harmonize   the   data   to   do   systematic   comparisons.   The   data   involved   the   number   of   CEE  migrants   focusing   on   the   country   of   origin,   gender,   educational   levels,   stocks   and   flows;  

 

  3  

migration   motives   such   as   labour,   family,   and/or   study;   duration   of   migration   in   terms   of  temporality   and   permanency;   and   labour   market   participation   based   on   formal   or   informal  employment.   The   findings  were   presented   in   four   country   reports,  which   comprised   the   first  four   Working   Papers   of   the   project,   and   published   on   the   project   website   (See  http://www.project-­‐imagination.eu/).      Based   on   the   findings   presented   in   these   country   reports,   the   research   teams   created   a  typology   of   CEE   migration,   presenting   eight   different   categories:   knowledge   workers,  entrepreneurs,   manual   workers,   persons   working   in   private   households,   sex   workers   and  trafficked  persons,  students,  non-­‐working  spouses  and  children,  beggars  and  homeless  people.  

but  rather  as  a  highly  differentiated  category.  It  involves  high  as  well  as  low-­‐skilled  migrants,  as  well   as  migrants   that   reside   only   temporarily   as  well   as   those  who   settle  more   permanently  (Engbersen  et  al.  2013).  Subsequently,  this  report  is  an  effort  to  present  these  categories  within  a   comparative   analysis   and   with   a   focus   on   the   existing   migration   corridors   between   CEE  countries  and  Austria,  the  Netherlands,  Sweden  and  Turkey.  This  comparative  report  involves  a  synthesis   of   the   main   findings   based   on   the   four   country   reports   as   well   as   an   analysis   of  differences  and  similarities  between  the  selected  cases.    There   are   some  main   findings   regarding   the   typology.   Looking   at   the   category   of   knowledge  workers,  while  there  is  a  small  presence  of  knowledge  workers  in  all  countries,  there  are  more  differences   than  similarities.  While  high  skilled  positions   in   the   labour  market   in  Austria  were  usually   reserved  for  Austrian  citizens,  there  is  a  certain  level  of  improvement  in  this  situation;  in   the  Netherlands,   despite   the   conventional   belief   that   CEE   migrants   hold   low-­‐skilled   jobs,  there  is  an  observed  heterogeneity  in  the  labour  market  positions  of  the  migrants  from  the  CEE,  where  migrants  also  have  high  skilled  employment.  In  contrast  to  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  the   highest   shares   within   the   skill-­‐level-­‐ Sweden   are  observed   in   high   and   medium   skilled   jobs   the   latter   being   larger   than   the   former   in   both  regions.   In   contrast   to   other   countries   under   research,   the   conventional  wisdom   in   Turkey   is  that   migrants   from   the   CEE   have   higher   skills   than   the   local   population,   where   the   Istanbul  region  specifically  seems  to  attract  high  skilled  professionals  from  the  CEE.    The  category  of  entrepreneurs   is  observed  as  an   important  path  for   formal  employment   in  all  four   countries,   where   there   is   a   noticeable   relationship   between   the   legal   conditions   of   the  labour   market   in   the   host   country   and   the   use   of   self-­‐employment   by   the   migrants.   For  example,  on  the  one  hand,  as  the  transitional  rules  are  revoked  in  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  there  is  an  expected  decrease  in  the  trend  of  self-­‐employment.  On  the  other  hand,  in  Sweden,  as   more   regulations   are   applied   in   the   berry   picking   market,   the   number   of   self-­‐employed  migrants   in   this   sector   rise.   Self-­‐employment   is  also  detected   in  Turkey  as  a  means  of   formal  status  in  the  labour  market.    The   classification  of  manual  workers   is   a  widely  observed   type  of  CEE  migration   in   the   cases  under  research  with  the  exception  of  Turkey.  The  agriculture,  industry,  construction,  and  in  big  cities  such  as  Vienna,  service  sectors  employ  large  segments  of  CEE  migrants,  both  in  the  formal  

 

  4  

and  informal  employment  schemes.  In  Turkey,  internal  migration  of  the  local  Kurdish  population  is  largely  supplying  the  demand  in  these  sectors.    Persons   working   in   private   households   is   a   category   are   identified   in   all   four   countries.   A  prevalent  issue  regarding  the  migrants  working  in  private  households  as  care  workers,  nannies,  cleaning  persons,  and  gardeners  are  observed  phenomena  is  the  problem  of  registration,  where  the  distinction  between  regular  versus  irregular  migrants  becomes  difficult  to  distinguish.    Another  category  where  the  distinction  between  formal  and   informal  arrangements   is  hard  to  differentiate  is  the  sex  workers  and  trafficked  persons.  On  the  one  hand,  some  sex  workers  are  not  registered  and  working  informally.  On  the  other  hand,  there  are  a  number  of  registered  sex  workers   that   may   represent   a   voluntary   choice   of   profession   in   a   formal   setting.   However,  within  this  latter  group  there  are  also  many  that  are  forced  into  prostitution.  Thus,  sex  workers  and  trafficked  persons  are  usually  mixed  in  this  category.    Students  as  a  category  of  CEE  migration  are  increasing  in  volume  in  all  four  countries.  Student  mobility  is  an  expanding  phenomenon  not  only  among  the  Member  States  of  the  EU,  but  also  in  Turkey  (Findlay  et  al.  2014;  Van  Mol  &Timmerman  2013).  Sometimes  students  see  education  as  a  stepping-­‐stone  to  permanent  residency  within  a  country  (Gribble  2008),  but  further  research  is  needed  to  understand  the  motivations  and  future  plans  of  CEE  students  in  the  four  countries.      While   less   is   known   about   the   qualitative   features   of   the   type   of   non-­‐working   spouses   and  children  migration,   quantitatively,   this   category   is   extending   in  numbers   in   all   four   countries.  Still,   this   category   receives   less  attention  both   in  policy  and  academic   circles.   In   contrast,   the  category   of   beggars   and   homeless   people   emerges   as   a   sensitive   issue   that   attracts   public  debate,  although  the  numbers  of  this  type  of  migration  are  rather   low  compared  to  the  other  categories.    In   this   comparative   report,   the   typology   is   further   elaborated.   Accordingly,   the   report   is  composed   of   several   chapters.   The   following   chapter   introduces   the   methodology   that   was  followed   in   the   initial   phase   of   the   project,   while   also   addressing   the   issue   of   availability   of  comparable  data.   Chapter   three  discusses   the  background  of  CEE  migration   in  Europe.   It   first  presents   a   historical   overview  of   CEE  migration   to   the   four   countries,   focusing   on   the   period  before  the  enlargements  of  2004  and  2007.  Subsequently,  it  gives  an  overview  of  the  effects  of  the  enlargements  on  the  volume  of  CEE  migration  to  the  four  countries  with  a  focus  also  on  the  transitional  arrangements.  Furthermore,  it  introduces  the  chosen  urban  regions  in  each  country,  identifying  the  main  migration  routes   in  each.  The   fourth  chapter  depicts   the   typology  of  CEE  migration  more   in-­‐depth.   The   final   chapter   is   the   conclusion.   The   focus  here   is   on   two  major  issues   that   emerge   from   the   country   reports,   addressing  whether   CEE  migration   is   becoming  largely   feminized   for   all   four   countries   under   research,   and  whether   the   educational   level   or  qualifications  of  migrants  correspond  with  their  employment  status.

2.  Methodology    The  methodology   followed   for   the   initial  part  of   the   research  project  was   twofold.   First,   each  research   team   has   outlined   and   analysed   the   available   data   on   CEE   migration   based   on  secondary  sources,  which  comprised  a   literature  review  of  earlier  research  as  well  as  study  of  available  official  statistics.  Despite  the  importance  of  CEE  migration  in  Europe,  there  were  some  difficulties   in   terms   of   availability   of   data.   To   illustrate,   in   Austria,   the   Central   Population  Register  (CPR)  draws  on  a  system  of  continuous  reporting  on  the  changes  of  main  residences  at  the  municipal   level   covering   all   persons  who   have   registered   a  main   residence   in   Austria   for  more  than  90  consecutive  days.  While  this  provides  a  valuable  source  for  an  overview  on  stocks  and   flows   of   migrants   including   basic   demographic   features   such   as   age   and   gender,   the  population  register  lacks  important  information  on  education,  professional  background  or  legal  status.    In  the  Netherlands,  population  statistics  give  reliable  information  about  the  registered  migrants  in  the  country.  However,  only  those  migrants  who  intend  to  stay  in  the  Netherlands  more  than  four   months   need   to   register   thus   migration   statistics   are   incomplete   and   socially   selective.  There   are   analyses   on   CEE   migration   derived   from   representative   samples   from   these  population  registers,  but  the  problem  remains  that  many  CEE  migrants  are  not  registered.  There  are  also  survey  studies  based  on  non-­‐representative  sampling  of  CEE  migration,  which  provide  better   insight   into   the   more   volatile   category   of   temporary   and   often   less   integrated   CEE  migrants   in  the  Netherlands,  but  the  unemployed  and  other  non-­‐working  migrants  tend  to  be  absent  in  these.    In   Sweden,   data   on   CEE   migration   were   derived   from   the   official   statistics   from   Statistics  Sweden,  the  Swedish  Work  Environment  Authority,  the  National  Board  of  Health  and  Welfare,  and   the   Swedish   Higher   Education   Authority.   However,   like   the   Netherlands,   there   is   a   time  dimension  in  the  population  registers  where  only  those  migrants  who  declare  their  intention  to  stay  for  at  least  one  year  in  Sweden  are  included  in  the  population  statistics.  Moreover,  like  in  Austria,   the   official   data   hardly  provide   any   information   on   the   educational   levels   of   the   CEE  migrants.    In   Turkey,   the   problem   of   availability   of   data   is  more   critical   than   other   cases.   International  migration  in  Turkey  has  become  a  policy  concern  only  in  late  90s,  and  collection  and  distribution  of   data   have   not   been   considered   as   statistically   important.   Moreover,   a   large   portion   of  international  migration   in   Turkey   is   on   irregular  basis,   adding   to   the  problem  of  not  having  a  centralized  system  of  registers.  The  official  statistics  that  are  available  are  only  on  national  level.    Regardless,  where  no  official  data  were  available,   the   country   reports   also  utilized  qualitative  interviews   that   were   conducted   to   get   estimates   of   the   scale   of   migration   and   to   uncover  experiences   with   different   types   of   migration.   Within   this   second   approach,   teams   have  conducted   semi-­‐structured   interviews   with   different   stakeholders.   These   included  representatives  of  the  CEE  migrants  mostly  from  different  migrant  organizations,  officials  from  

 

  6  

local   governments,   relevant   private   agencies   such   as   labour   recruitment   agencies,   and  NGOs  involved  in  the  related  areas  of  migration  like  housing  corporations  and  educational  institutions.      The   first   part   of   the   IMAGINATION  project   showed   that   unavailability  of   comparable   data   on  CEE   migration   is   a   deficiency   for   conducting   research   on   the   subject.   Thus,   the   data   to   be  collected   in   the   following   stages   of   the   IMAGINATION   project   becomes   an   important  contribution   to   the   field,   partially   filling   in   this   gap   in   the   literature,   and   increasing   the  importance  of  the  project  both  for  the  academic  and  the  policy  circles.    

3.  CEE  Migration  in  Europe:  Migration  history  and  current  migration  corridors    This  section  outlines  the  (historical)  background  of  CEE  migration  within  Europe,  and  maps  the  current   migration   corridors   at   which   the   IMAGINATION   project   focuses.   In   terms   of   the  historical  background,  the  enlargement  of  the  EU  with  a  number  of  CEE  countries  was  evidently  a  defining  moment  for  migration  (to  and)  from  CEE  countries.  Therefore,  we  will  briefly  sketch  the  historical  background  of  CEE  migration  before  and  after  the  EU  enlargements.  Subsequently,  we  zoom  in  on  a  number  of  more  specific  migration  corridors  between  urban  regions,  which  will  be  the  focus  of  this  project.    

Historical  Background:  Before  the  Enlargements  In  all  four  countries  under  research  here,  international  migration  flows  from  CEE  countries  have  a   historical   track   record.   In   Austria,   two   groups   of   CEE   migrants   have   been   of   particular  importance:   refugees   from   the   communist   countries   whose   migration   continued   until   late  1980s,   and   labour  migrants   and   their   families.   Due   to   its   neutrality   during   Cold  War,   Austria  received  three  major  waves  of  refugees,  namely  from  Hungary  in  1956,  from  Czechoslovakia  in  1968   and   from  Poland   in   1981;   for  many,  Austria  was   only   a   transit   country   on   their  way   to  other  destinations.  At  the  beginning  of  the  1960s,  Austria  was  confronted  with  a  growing  need  for  additional   labour  and  started  to  recruit  workers  from  countries  such  as  Turkey  (1964)  and  the   Socialist   Federal   Republic  of   Yugoslavia   (1966).  Despite  original   plan   of   rotation  model   of  

  stayed   and   brought   their   families   to   Austria,   still  comprising  the  most  important  and  growing  foreign-­‐born  group  in  the  country.    Like  Austria,   the  Netherlands  also  received  refugees  from  the  same  three  countries   (Hungary,  Czechoslovakia,   and   Poland)   during   the   same   periods   (1956,   1968,   and   1981   respectively)  (Bonjour  1980:  48).  Unlike  other  countries,  the  Netherlands  was  also  home  to  a  unique  type  of  movement:  those  Polish  soldiers  who  fought  with  the  Allied  forces  to  liberate  the  Netherlands  from  the  German  occupation  during  World  War  II  stayed  and  married  here.  Furthermore,  there  was   some   marital   migration   of   females   from   CEE   countries   (particularly   from   Poland)   that  married   Dutch   males   the   so   the   so-­‐called   Polish   brides   (Dagevos   2011).   However,   the  Netherlands   has   also   been   an   important   destination   for   labour   migration.   Even   before   and  shortly  after  World  War  II  several  thousands  of  CEE  nationals  (mainly  from  Poland  and  Slovenia)  arrived  to  work   in  the  Dutch  mines  (Brassé  and  Van  Schelven  1980).   In  the   late  1980s,  50,000  Poles  were  estimated  to  work  as  seasonal  workers  in  the  Dutch  horticulture  (Dagevos  2011:  31).

Like  Austria  and   the  Netherlands,  Sweden   is  also  a  destination   for  humanitarian   immigration,  and   in   increasing   numbers   (Boguslaw   2012).   However,   unlike   the   two   other   cases,   Sweden  followed  a  more  cautious   immigration  policy   in   terms  of   labour  migration.   In  the  wake  of   the  economic  downturn   in  the  beginning  of  the  1970s,   Sweden  made   labour  migration  only  to  be  allowed   if   the   labour  demand  could  not  be  met  by  the  existing  domestic   labour   Prop.  1968:  142 ).   With   the   Swedish   accession   into   the   EU   in   1995,   most   existing   obstacles   for   free  movement    1992).    Turkey   was   a   rather   different   case.   In   the   Early   Republican   Period,   CEE   immigration,   usually  categorized  as  Balkan  migrations,  was   the  widest  one  and  formed  of  three  origin  countries  of  the   time:   Bulgaria,   Romania   and   Yugoslavia.   After   its   independence   war,   the   country   was   in  need  of  human  capital   for  a  homogenous  nation  state  and  welcomed  migrants  of  Sunni-­‐Islam  origin  from  countries  such  as  Bulgaria,  Romania  and  Yugoslavia.  In  the  period  of  1940  and  1945,  more   than   20,000   people   migrated   to   Turkey   with   Bulgarians,   Romanians   and   Yugoslavians  representing  73  per  cent,  19  per  cent  and  eight  per  cent  of  this  migrant  community  respectively.  During  the  Cold  War,  when  approximately  830,000  migrants  entered  Turkey,  a  similar  trend  was  observed.   In   this   period,   Bulgarians,   with   72   per   cent,   formed   the   largest   group   followed   by  Yugoslavian  migrants  who  constituted  22  per   cent  of   the  migrant   community.  The   large   scale  

minorities   including  those  of  Turkish  ethnicity.  Overall,   the  history  of  CEE  migration   to  Turkey  demonstrates   the  weight  of  Bulgarians,  Yugoslavians  and  Romanians  of  Muslim  origin,  usually  looking   for   a   safe   haven   thus,   somehow   resembling   the   humanitarian   migration   in   other  countries   under   research.   Recently,   with   the   neo-­‐liberal   economic   policies   of  governments  after  1990,  more  diverse  migration  flows  are  observed.  

Enlargements  and  CEE  Migration    For  all  four  countries  under  research,  the  EU  enlargements  of  EU-­‐10  (mostly  Eastern  European  countries)   of   2004   and   EU-­‐2   (Bulgaria   and   Romania)   of   2007   were   turning   points   in   CEE  migration.  As  of  2013,  in  Austria,  where  EU  migration  is  not  only  pertained  to  the  CEE,  but  also  to   Germany   for   example,   a   total   of   334,499   persons   (source:   Population   Register,   Statistics  Austria)  who  have  been  born  in  CEE  EU-­‐member  states  were  officially  registered.  Their  number  grew  by  one  third  since  2002  (See  Figure  1).  The  main  migration  corridors,  which  can  be  defined  as  routes  that  are  created  under  certain  conditions  that  facilitate  movement  of  people,  are  with  Romania,  Poland,  and  Hungary  (See  Table  1).    In   the  Netherlands   the   number   of   CEE  migrants   has   also   increased:  While   there  were   about  50,000  CEE  residents   in  the  Netherlands   in  the  1990s,  and  62,000   in  2003  (just  before  the  EU  enlargement   of   2004),   in   2013,   their   numbers   had   increased   to   almost   180,000   thousands  almost  three  times  more  than  in  2003.  Like  in  Austria,  Poland  and  Hungary  constitute  important  migration  corridors   to   the  Netherlands   (See  Table  1).  The  number  of   immigrants   from  Poland  nearly   tripled   between   2004   and   2013   from   almost   36,000   to   111,000,   and   the   number   of  Hungarians   increased   one-­‐third   to   almost   19,500   persons.   The   other   two   main   CEE   migrant  categories   in  the  Netherlands  are  Bulgarians   (almost  21,000  persons   in  2013),  and  Romanians  

 

  8  

(almost   18,000   persons   in   2013),   whose   numbers   increased   five   and   two   times   respectively  since  the  2007  enlargement.  However,  as  these  figures  are  based  on  Dutch  population  registers  and   many   CEE   labour   migrants   do   not   register,   the   actual   number   of   CEE   migrants   in   the  Netherlands   is   probably   much   larger.   Recent   research,   using   advanced   statistical   estimation  techniques,   estimated   that   in   2010   about   340,000   CEE   nationals   were   present   in   the  Netherlands,  either   temporarily  or  permanently,  and  registered  or  not   (Van  der  Heijden  et.  al  2013).      Figure  1:  CEE  migration  before  and  after  2004  and  2007  enlargements  

   There   has   also   been   increasing   CEE   immigration   in   Sweden.   Between   2000   and   2012,   the  number  of  individuals  born  in  one  of  the  CEE-­‐EU  member  states  in  Sweden,  increased  by  almost  80   per   cent,   from   84,124   to   148,998.   The   five  major   countries   of   origin   are   Poland   (75,323),  Romania  (22,079),  Hungary  (15,678),  Estonia   (10,145)  and  Lithuania  (8,815)  (Statistics  Sweden  2013g).    Interestingly,   in  Turkey,  we  observe   a   reverse  pattern:   the  proportion  of  CEE  migrants   in   the  number  of   total   regular  migrants  who   received   residence  permits   in   Turkey  declined   from  40  per  cent  in  2003  and  to  22  per  cent  in  2011.  There  are  two  main  reasons  for  this  decline:  first,  Turkey   has   started   receiving   higher   numbers   of  migrants   from   non-­‐CEE   countries   in   general,  therefore   their   ratio   got   smaller;   and   second,   the  number  of  CEE  migrants   is   declining  as   the  direction  of  their  migration  patterns  are  changing  towards  the  EU  as  a  result  of  their  accession  into   the   Union.   With   the   EU   membership   of   Bulgaria   and   Romania,   which   constituted   main  migration   corridors   from   CEE   to   Turkey,   the   number   of   immigrants   from   the   two   declined  sharply.   Partly   because   of   its   location,   and   partly   because   of   its   status,   Turkey   has   rather  different   migration   corridors   than   other   countries   under   research   here   with   countries   like  Ukraine  and  Moldova  (See  Table  1).

Looking   at   the   four   country   cases   under   research,   the   emergence   of   different   migration  corridors   facilitating   the   mobility   of   the   migrants   can   be   explained   by   the   classic   push-­‐pull  factors   theory   (Lee   1966),   where  migration   is   determined   by   the   presence   of   attracting   pull  factors  at  destination,  and  repelling  push  factors  at  origin.  While  demographic  growth,  low  living  standards,  lack  of  economic  opportunities,  and  political  repression  are  usually  cited  push  factors  in  the  place  of  origin,  demand  for  labour,  availability  of  land,  good  economic  opportunities,  and  political  freedoms  that  attract  migrants  to  certain  receiving  countries  are  common  examples  of  pull   factors   (Castles   &   Miller   1998,   Sert   2010).   With   regard   to   CEE   migration,   geographical  proximity,  historical  ties,  and  political  conditions  such  as  having  a  citizenship  of  an  EU  member  state  are  also  among  the  facilitating  conditions  of  mobility.    While   the   latter   condition   definitely   increased   the   volume   of   CEE   migration   in   Europe,   the  effects  of  the  two  enlargements  were  not  realized  overnight  as  some  member  states  opted  for  transitional  restrictions  (See  Table  2).  These  transitional  arrangements  have  applied  in  most  of  the  EU's  enlargements  earlier  and   allowed  Member  States   to   temporarily   restrict   the   right  of  workers   from   the   new  Member   States   to   move   freely   to   another  Member   State   to  work.   In  Austria,   transitional   rules   were   implemented   concerning   labour   market   access   of   citizens   of  both  the  2004  and  2007  enlargement  countries.  These  were   lifted  for  EU-­‐10   in  May  2011  and  for  Romania  and  Bulgaria  by  the  end  of  2013.  In  fact,  transitional  rules  did  not  restrict  freedom  of   settlement   where   the   citizens   of   the   new   EU-­‐member   states   could   move   to   any   other  member   state   as   students,   retirees   or   to   join   family   members,   and   also   had   the   right   to  establish  a  business   in  any  EU-­‐member   state  where   they  could  be   self-­‐employed.  Still,   a   year  after   lifting  the  transitional  rules,  the  net  migration  from  the  CEE  reached  a  peak  of  20,000  in  2012.   Unfortunately,   the   register-­‐based   census   on   the  municipal-­‐level   that   provided   data   on  employment  of   the   individuals  was  carried  out   in  2011,   the  year  before   the  abolishing  of   the  transitional  provisions.  Thus,  an  assessment  of  the  effect  of  the  end  of  the  transitional  rules  in  May  2011  can  only  be  made  on  the  basis  of  employment  data  and  extensive  in-­‐depth  analysis  provided  by   the   Federal  Ministry  of   Labour,   Social  Affairs   and  Consumer  Protection   (BMASK).  Accordingly,   the   impact   of   liberalization   one   year   after   the   end  of   the   transitional   provisions  amounted   to   an   increase   of   26,736   persons   or   in   relative   terms   about   one   third   increase  compared   to  April   2011.  Based  on   the  expert-­‐interviews   conducted   in  Austria,   some  of   these  workers   were   not   new   immigrants,   but   had   already   been   in   Austria   and   only   legalized   their  employment.   Interestingly,   almost   half   of   these   new   workers   were   commuters   who   did   not  move  to  Austria.

Similarly,  the  numbers  have  also  increased  in  the  Netherlands,  particularly  after  2007,  when  the  transitional  restrictions  for  Poles  and  residents  from  the  other  new  member  states  of  2004  were  lifted.  Studies  conducted   in   the  Netherlands  by  Weltevrede  et  al.   (2009)  and  Engbersen  et  al.  (2011,   2013)   depict   the   implications   of   the   transitional   restrictions   on   CEE   immigration.  Specifically  focusing  on  both  formally  registered  and  non-­‐registered  CEE  labour  migrants  these  studies  show  that  Romanian  and  Bulgarian  respondents  were  relatively  often  self-­‐employed  (31  per  cent).  This  was  a  result  of  the  transitional  regulations  that  allowed  self-­‐employed  workers  to  settle   in  the  Netherlands,  but   limited  formal  employment   and  they  were  still  effective  at  the  time   of   the   interviews.   Snel   et   al.   (2014)   also   conclude   that   the   end   of   the   transitional   rule  makes  it  easier  to  get  access  to  the  formal  labour  market  for  Bulgarian  and  Romanian  migrants.    Table  2:  Transitional  Arrangements  Country   Policy  Austria   Workers   from   the   new   Member   States   needed   a   work   permit   sponsored   by   their  

employers.  After  one  year  of  legal  employment,  workers  would  be  free  to  move  within  the  labour  market.  After  18  months,  those  family  members  who  are  residing  with  the  workers  would  also  receive  this  right.  

Netherlands   Workers   from   the   new  Member   States   needed   a  work   permit   for   the   first   two   years   of  their  employment.  

Sweden   No  transitional  restrictions  were  applied.  Turkey   Not  applicable.      Unlike  Austria  and   the  Netherlands,  Sweden   did  not  apply  any   transitional   restrictions  during  neither  of  the  enlargements.  In  fact,  in  2004,  Sweden  was  the  only  country  that  abstained  from  implementing   transitional   rules   to  moderate   the   impact  of   the  prospective   immigration   flows  where  the  UK  and  Ireland  implemented  only  minor  ones.  In  2007,  Sweden  again  abstained  from  such  enactment.  Moreover,  Sweden  has  also  altered  its  migration  policy  in  2008,  liberalizing  the  restrictions   in   labour   migration   policy.   Before   the   change,   it   was   the   state   authorities   that  evaluated  the  demand  for  immigrant  labour  via  labour  market  tests.  After  2008,  employers  did  the   assessment   ( Prop   2007/08:147 2007).   Having   a   work   permit   in   Sweden   is   now   only  depended  on   having   a   job   offer  with   a  wage,  which  must   be   in   accordance  with   a   collective  agreement  or  on  the  same  level  as  collective  agreements  in  the  industry  concerned  (Wadensjö  et   al.   2013).   While   there   were   warning   cries   advocating   transitional   restrictions,   studies   by  Doyle   et   al.   (2006),   Ruist   (2013)   and  Wadensjö   et   al.   (2013)   have   showed   that   the   fears   of  

dramatic  deviation  in  earnings,  work  conditions,  educational  levels  or  social  welfare  provisions.    Overall,  while  in  Sweden,  which  did  not  apply  any  transitional  restrictions,  the  reservations  on  CEE   immigration   proved   invalid;   in  Austria   and   the  Netherlands,  which   employed   transitional  restrictions,  they  only  had  an  effect  on  formal  employment  where  immigrants  still  arrived  and  were   self-­‐employed.   As   the   section   on   typology   of   CEE  migration   presents,   the   difference   of  transitional  periods  may  have  an   influence  on   the  composition  of   the  CEE  population   in  each  country.  For  example,  high  and  medium  skilled  migration  seems  to  be  more   viable   in  Sweden  compared  to  other  countries,  where  many  migrants  with  skills   take  on   low-­‐skilled   jobs,  which  

 

  11  

leads  to  the  problem  of  de-­‐qualification.  In  Turkey,  which  is  not  a  EU  member  state,  the  issue  of  effects  of  transitional  period  was  non-­‐existing.  

Urban  Regions:  Main  Migration  Corridors    IMAGINATION   focuses   on   Austria,   the   Netherlands,   Sweden   and   Turkey,   which   opened   their  doors   to  CEE  migrants   in  different  periods   and   in  different  ways.  However,   the   specific   focus  here  is  on  urban  regions,  instead  of  countries  (See  Table  3).  The  underlying  assumption  here  is  that  the  social  implications  of  CEE  migration  are  often  not  limited  by  the  city  boundaries  where  many  migrants  live,  but  also  located  into  nearby  suburban  and  rural  areas  where  they  work.  The  notion  of  urban  regions  depicts  cities  together  with  their  suburban  areas  and  nearby  rural  areas  to  portray  the  complementary  social  implications  within  daily  urban  systems  of  labour,  housing  and  leisure  (Schwanen  et  al.  2001).    Table  3:  Urban  Regions  

Country   Urban  Region  I   Urban  Region  II  Austria   Vienna   Linz  Netherlands   Rotterdam   The  Hague  Sweden   Stockholm   Gothenburg  Turkey   Istanbul   Edirne  

 Accordingly,  in  Austria,  the  focus  is  on  Vienna  and  Linz.  Vienna  has  2.4  million  inhabitants  and  is  the  only  large  metropolitan  area  in  Austria  where  one  third  of  the  population  residing  in  the  city  has  been  born  abroad  (550,000  persons).  The  Vienna  urban  region,  especially  the  city  of  Vienna,  is   the   main   destination   of   migrants   in   Austria   where   the   urban   labour   market   offers   good  options  for  newcomers,  and  the  existing  networks  attract  more  and  more  migrants.  In  relation  to  CEE  migration,  the  short  distances  migrants  have  to  take  turn  their  migration  into  a  cheaper  project return   remains   a  possibility.   In   2013,   168,202   CEE-­‐born-­‐persons   were   living   in   the   Vienna   urban   region.   The  largest  group  by  far  is  the  Poles  (46,590  persons),  followed  by  Romanians  (29,155),  Hungarians  (21,782),   and   Czechs   (21,181).   Since   2002,   while   the   number   of   Romanians   has   more   than  doubled;  the  number  of  Poles  grew  by  63  per  cent  and  Hungarians  by  33  per  cent.  The  effects  of  2004   and   2007   enlargements   are   easily   noticeable.   The   number   of  migrants   from   the   Czech  Republic  is  decreasing,  partly  as  a  result  of  the  age  structure  of  this  group,  where  many  of  them  have  arrived  already  during  the  1960s,  and  current  arrivals  are  relatively  small.    Linz   is   one   of   the   largest   economic   areas   in   Austria.   There   are   about   6,200   businesses   and  207,000  jobs  in  the  city.  16  per  cent  of  the  450,000  inhabitants  in  the  whole  urban  region  have  been  born  abroad.  In  2013,  the  percentage  of  persons  that  were  born  in  EU-­‐11  is  four  per  cent  of  the  total  population,  which  is  15  per  cent  higher  than  12  years  earlier.  Romania  is  by  far  the  most   important   CEE   sending   country   (5,921   persons   in   2013),   the   second   largest   group   are  Czechs  (3,763)  followed  by  Poles  and  Hungarians.  Like  in  Vienna,  CEE  migrants  proportion  in  the  total  population  is  relatively  high.

The   two   urban   regions   chosen   for   the   research   in   the   Netherlands   are   Rotterdam   and   The  Hague.  While  the  region  of  Rotterdam  includes  the  municipalities  of  Rotterdam,  Schiedam,  and  Lansingerland;  the  region  of  The  Hague  consists  of   the  municipalities  of  The  Hague,  Delft,  and  Westland.  The  total  number  of  inhabitants  for  the  former  region  is  749,016,  and  707,651  for  the  latter.   There   are   11,005  CEE  migrants   registered   in   the   region   of   Rotterdam,   and  18,075  CEE  migrants   in  the  region  of  The  Hague  comprising  three  per  cent  of  the  total  population   in  both  regions.   These   numbers   are   only   representing   the   registered  migrants   in   the   two   regions.   In  fact,  authorities  estimate   that  there  are  between  29,000  and  49,000  CEE  migrants  only   in  the  city   of   Rotterdam,   and  31,000   CEE   residents   only   in   the   city   of   The  Hague,   implying   that   the  numbers  are  much  higher  for  both  of  the  regions  chosen  for  this  study.    Table  4:  Urban  Regions  and  Main  CEE  Migration  Country   Urban  Region   CEE  Migration  Main  Groups

:  increase     :  decrease    In  Sweden  the  urban  regions  chosen  for  the  research  are  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg,  the  two  regions  that  experience  the  highest  rate  of  urbanization  in  Sweden.  While  the  former  represent  the   regions   surrounding   the   capital,   Stockholm,   and   the   latter   is   the   second   largest   city,  Gothenburg.  However,   like   in   the  Netherlands,   in   Sweden   the   urban   regions   represent   larger  areas  than  the  core  cities  of  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg.  While  the  urban  region  of  Stockholm  consists  of   three   selected   city  municipalities  of  Stockholm,  Haninge,  and   ,   the   latter  urban  region  is  composed  of  selected  city  municipalities  of  Gothenburg,   ,  and   .  There   are   23,032   registered   CEE   migrants   (top   five)   in   the   urban   region   of   Stockholm,   and  11,253   in   the   region   of   Gothenburg.   Poland   is   the   dominating   country   of   birth   both   in  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg.    The  two  urban  regions  chosen  for  the  study  in  Turkey  are  Edirne  and  Istanbul.  Like  in  Austria,  the   urban   regions   in   Turkey   represent   the   core   cities   of   Edirne   and   Istanbul,   and   their  surrounding  larger  municipal  areas.  401,605  residents  (less  than  one  per  cent   total  population)   live   in  Edirne,  and  14,107,954   residents   (18  per  cent  reside   in   Istanbul.  While  about   five  per   cent  of   the  population  was  born  outside  of  Turkey   in  Edirne,   around   three   per   cent   of   the   population   was   born   outside   of   Turkey   in   Istanbul.   In  Edirne,  the  leading  country  of  birth  is  Bulgaria  as  the  region  has  been  hosting  many  ethnic  Turks  from   this   country,   which   has   been   an   important  migration   type   historically.   In   Istanbul,   it   is  harder   to   figure   out   the   dominating   groups,   however,   estimations   show   that   Bulgarians,  Ukrainians,  Moldavians,  and  Romanians  compose  the  largest  groups  from  the  CEE.

4.  Towards  a  Typology:  Types  of  CEE  Migration  (TOMs)    The  study  of  Engbersen  et  al.  (2011,  2013)  presents  new  and  emerging  types  of  CEE  migration  that   involve   a  more   permanent   presence   of   CEE  migrants   compared   to   seasonal   and   circular  forms   of   labour   migration   that   originally   exemplify   CEE   migration.   Along   the   two   axes   of  attachment  to  country  of  origin  and  destination,  the  study  proposes  four  categories:  bi-­‐national,  circular,  settlement,  and  footloose  migrants.  Among  these  categories,  some  migrants  preserve  transnational   ties   that   attach   them   to   their   region   of   origin   as   well   as   their   host   countries.  Others   remain   permanently   in   their   receiving   societies   unifying   later   with   their   families   or  establishing  new  families.  In  other  cases,  migrants  may  continue  on  their  journey  to  other  parts  in  Europe   (Fassmann  et  al.  2009 problems  of  getting  access   to   the   labour  market   in   the   receiving   country   as   their   ties  with   the  home   country   are  fading.   Studies   also   show   that   different   types   of  migration   are   related   to   different   stages   of  migration,   moving   from   an   initial   stage   of   temporary   work   abroad,   through   transnational  commuting  to  permanent  settlement,  where  these  phases  largely  depend  on  the  labour  market  opportunities  in  the  destination  regions  (Friberg  2012).    Within  this  academic  context,   the  main  objective  of  country  reports   in  Work  Package   I  was  to  come  up  with  different  types  of  CEE  migration  as  a  heuristic  device  for  comparison.  Based  on  earlier  studies,  each  research  team  categorized  migration  patterns  on  two  levels  of  temporary  versus  permanent  migration,  and  of  socio-­‐economic  status  of  high  versus  low  skilled  migration.  Following   these   preliminary   choices   and   inductively   reasoned   arguments,   research   teams  carved  out   the  most  relevant   types  of  CEE  migration   (TOMs  hereafter)  by  deliberative  speech  and   comparative   insights.   The   typology   is   structured   following   an   account   of   abductive  reasoning  (Yanow  2012),  which  is  formed  along  formal-­‐informal-­‐non-­‐employment  levels,  taking  

employed,  their  vulnerability,  as  well  as  temporality  versus  permanency  of  their  migration  (See  Figure  2).  The  typology  utilized  here   is  not  exclusive,  but  chosen  for  several  reasons  for  these  TOMs.

Figure  2:  Typology  based  on  axes  of  socio-­‐economic  occupation  and  time    

 

Knowledge  Workers    Knowledge  workers  in  this  typology  refer  to  migrants  holding  high-­‐skilled  jobs.  In  Austria,  both  EU-­‐10  and  EU-­‐2   citizens   are  employed  more  often   as  blue   collar  workers,  where  white   collar  positions   have   been     for   a   long   period   of   time.  Although  this  situation  has  improved  to  a  certain  extent  since  1990s,  there  are  still  differences  in   the   accessibility   to   formal   better-­‐off   positions   with   more   favourable   working   conditions,  which   are   very   much   linked   with   the   de-­‐qualification   problem   that   is   discussed   in   the   next  section.    In   the   Netherlands,   the   study   of   Engbersen   et   al.   (2011,   2013)   show   that   there   is   more  heterogeneity  among  CEE  labour  migrants  than  is  often  assumed,  where  there  are  exceptions  of  CEE  labour  migrants  working  at  Dutch  universities  or  in  similar  professional  occupations  of  high  skilled  labour.  Despite  the  conventional  belief  that  many  CEE  labour  migrants  in  the  Netherlands  work   in   low-­‐qualified   and   low-­‐paid   jobs,   numerous   international   organizations   in   The   Hague  employ   high   skilled   CEE   nationals,   especially   among   Romanian   and   Hungarian  migrants,   who  speak  English  well  and  therefore  have  different  networks  and  sources  of  social  capital.    In  Sweden,  more  than  half  of  the  rights  of  residence  (53  per  cent)  issued  to  citizens  of  Poland,  Romania,  Estonia,  Hungary,  or  Lithuania  in  2013   which  is  the  biggest  category  for  all  the  five  countries,  with  Poland  topping  the  list  (57  per  cent).  When  the  distributions  in  occupations  are  sorted  by  skill  level,  the  highest  shares  are  observed  in  high  and   medium   skilled   jobs.   The   Gothenburg   region   had   the   highest   share   of   medium   skilled

workers   in   2011   (39   per   cent),   which   has   significantly   increased,   while   the   high   skilled  percentage  remained  almost  the  same  since  2001.  In  Stockholm,  while  the  share  of  high  skilled  workers  has  decreased,  medium  skilled  worker  since  2001.  Important  sectors  for  employment   are   construction,   renting   and   property   maintenance,   nursing   and   care,   and  manufacturing   (Statistics   Sweden   2014e).   Between   2004   and   2007   over   400  medical   doctors  arrived  in  Sweden,  58  per  cent  from  Poland,  18  per  cent  from  Hungary  and  13  per  cent  from  the  Baltics  (Lundborg  2010).    In  Turkey,  the  data  on  residence  permits  based  on  employment  displays  a  steady  increase  from  approximately  19,000  to  33,000  migrants  between  years  2008  and  2011,  where  the  proportion  of   CEE   migrants   employed   has   fluctuated   around   15   to   19   per   cent,   with   Ukraine,   Bulgaria,  Romania,  Moldova,   Poland  and  Serbia   and  Montenegro   being   the   leading   countries  of  origin.  Unfortunately,   the   data   do   not   include   a   distribution   of   employment   based   on   skill   level.  Historically  speaking,  and  as  a  point  of   illustration,  while  we  cannot  really  consider  the  earlier  migration  patterns  from  Bulgaria  as  high  skilled  migration  as  understood  in  recent  times,  many  of  them  did  bring  with  them  a  certain  level  of  social  capital  and  artisanship.  Thus,  many  came  with  higher  skills  compared  to  the  population  in  Turkey  in  times  of  their  migration.  On  the  level  of  urban  regions,  there  are  more  high  skilled  migrants  in  Istanbul  than  Edirne.  An  example  is  the  Hungarian  professionals  who  find  Istanbul  an  attractive  destination  to  live  and  work  due  to  the  historic   ties   between   the   two   countries,   proximity,   and   advantages   such   as   direct   flights  (Consulate  General  of  Hungary  2013   ).  A  similar  argument  can  also  be  made  in  the  case  of  the  Czech  migrants,  where  a  common  pattern  is  observed  that  these  highly  skilled  migrants  are  later  joined  by  their  families  in  Turkey  (Consulate  General  of  Czech  Republic  2013  

).    Overall,  in  Austria,  high  skilled  positions  in  the  labour  market   reserved  for  Austrian  citizens  for  a   long  period  of  time,  but  there  is  a  certain  level  of   improvement  in  this  situation.  Unlike   Austria,   in   the  Netherlands,   there   is   an   observed   heterogeneity   in   the   labour  market  positions   of   the   migrants   from   the   CEE,   where   migrants   also   hold   high   skilled   jobs.   Unlike  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  in  Sweden,  the  highest  shares  within  the  skill-­‐level-­‐distributions  in  

occupations  are  observed  in  high  and  medium  skilled  jobs;  however,  the  latter  being  larger  than  the  former  in  both  regions.  In  Turkey,  unlike  other  countries  under  research,  there  is  a   conventional  belief   that  migrants   from  the  CEE  have  higher   skills   than   the   local  population,  where  the  Istanbul  region  specifically  seems  to  attract  high  skilled  professionals  from  the  CEE.    

Entrepreneurs    The  category  of  entrepreneurs  consists  of  both  self-­‐employed  migrants  with  employees  as  well  one-­‐man  businesses.   In  Austria,   the   share   of   self-­‐employed  CEE  migrants   is   very   high,  where  more  than  one  third  of  Romanian  and  Bulgarian  citizens  and  almost  every  fourth  EU-­‐10  citizen  working  in  Vienna  are  self-­‐employed.  When  the  transitional  rules  were  still  in  force,  to  establish  a   business   and   thus   to  work   self-­‐employed  was   an   important  way   to  work   in   Austria.  While  some  are   successful  entrepreneurs   in  Vienna,   the  majority  of   these  migrants  are  one-­‐person-­‐

companies,   such  as  males   in   construction,   females   in   care   sectors,   or   taxi   drivers.   The  expert  interviews  in  the  Austria  country  report  state  that  the  number  of  one-­‐person  companies  is  still  growing  at  a  fast  pace,  with  Romanians,  who  were  subject  to  the   labour  market  restrictions  in  2011,  being  numerically  the  most  important  group  in  this  respect.  As  the  transitional  rules  being  lifted,  many  of  the  EU-­‐10  migrants  working  as  one-­‐person-­‐companies  try  to  get  official  gainful  jobs   and   leave   the   self-­‐   employed   segment   that   is   characterized   by   self-­‐exploitation   and  extremely  low  wages  due  to  a  strong  competitive  pressure.      Until   the   transitional   rules  were   lifted   in   2014,   in   the  Netherlands,   for  many   Bulgarians   and  Romanians,  self-­‐employment  was  the  only  way  into  entering  into   labour  market,  as  they  were  ineligible   to  work  without   the   required  working  permit.  More   than  a  quarter  of   the  Bulgarian  respondents   of   Engbersen   et   al.   (2011:   38)   study   stated   that   her/himself   as   self-­‐employed  worker.  A  closer  analysis  showed  that  many  were  in  fact  informal  workers  (Snel  et  al.  2014),  as  they   were   not   formally   registered   as   being   self-­‐employed   as   is   required   by   Dutch   labour  legislation.   Based   on   the   expert   interviews   in   the   country   report   of   Netherlands   most   self-­‐employed   migrants   in   The   Hague   and   Rotterdam   worked   in   the   construction   sector.   The  numbers   are   lower   in   Westland,   as   most   CEE   workers   were   employed   by   temporary  employment  agencies  or  other  intermediaries.    In  Sweden,  looking  at  the  rights  of  residence  issued  to  citizens  of  top  five  CEE  countries  in  2013,  Estonian   citizens   display   a   slightly   higher   share   of   self-­‐employed   (four   per   cent)   than   the  average   for   the  group  as  a  whole.  Like   in  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  self-­‐employment   is  an  important  path  for  formal  employment  in  Sweden.  The  subgroup  of  seasonal  workers  employed  as  berry  pickers   is  an   illustrative  case,  which  has   incited  a  public  debate   in   the  country   in  the  past   years.   Poles   and   workers   from   the   Baltic   countries   coming   as   tourists   to   work   as   berry  pickers   in   Sweden   had   a   long   history.   This   trend   became   less   visible   once   the   employment  opportunities   for   the   citizens   of   these   countries   improved   with   the   2004   enlargement.   As  regulations   and   inspections   of   the   working   conditions   of   berry   pickers   tightened   in   2012,  workers   from   the   CEE   re-­‐entered   the   berry   picking   market   this   time  pickers  (friplockare).  In  2012,  the  estimated  number  of  self-­‐employed  berry  pickers  was  almost  10,000   people,   mainly   from   the   Baltic   countries,   Poland,   Ukraine,   Bulgaria   and   Thailand  (Swedwatch  2013).   In  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg,   the  number  of  self-­‐employed  category  has  increased,  especially  for  women.  In  the  Stockholm  region,  the  number  of  women  registering  as  self-­‐employed   increased  more   than   six   times   between   2004   and   2010   from   seven   to   51   per  cent.  The  total  share  of  self-­‐employed  women  among  the  female  migrants  in  both  regions  have  increased  from  one  per  cent  in  2004  to  four  per  cent  in  2010,  while  it  remained  unchanged  for  men  (Swedish  Migration  Board  2013a).    Data   available   on   regular   migration   in   Turkey   do   not   provide   information   on   distribution   of  sectors   or   types  of   employment.  While   expert   interviews  mention  presence   of   self-­‐employed  small   businesses   in   Edirne,   and   some   small-­‐scale   CEE   enterprises   in   Istanbul,   the   actual  numbers   are   unknown.   There   are   several   small-­‐scale   Hungarian   enterprises   in   Istanbul,   but  these   were   established   with   Turkish   partners   as   required   by   the   Turkish   laws   on   foreign  businesses  in  Turkey.

 In  all  four  countries,  entrepreneurship,  or  self-­‐employment  is  observed  as  an  important  path  for  formal  employment.  There  is  a  noticeable  link  between  the  legal  conditions  of  the  employment  market  in  the  host  country  and  the  utilization  of  self-­‐employment  by  the  migrants.  To  illustrate,  as  the  transitional  rules  are  lifted  in  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  there  is  an  expected  decrease  in  the  trend  of  self-­‐employment.  In  Sweden,  as  more  regulations  are  applied  in  the  berry  picking  market,   the  number  of   self-­‐employed  migrants   increase.   Self-­‐employment   is   also  observed   in  Turkey.    

Manual  Workers    Manual   workers   refer   to   the   category   of   those   migrants   working   in   agriculture,   industry,   or  construction   sectors   as   well   as   nurses   in   the   hospitals.   The   tourism,   construction   and  agricultural  sectors   in  Austria  have  a  demand  for  short-­‐term  manual  workers.  While  there  is  a  recurrent  need   for  harvesters   in   the  Eastern  part  of   the  country,   summer  and  winter   tourism  rises  the  demand  for  staff  in  hotels  and  restaurants  in  the  West.  This  mobility  is  regulated  by  the  state  that  sets  quotas  for  the  employment  of  seasonal  workers,  when  the  available  workforce  cannot  meet  the  demand  for  such  workers.   In  2008,   just  to  give  an  example  for  a  year  before  the   transitional   rules   were   lifted,   the   five   most   important   sending   countries   in   agriculture  according   to   the   Austrian   Public   Employment   Service   were   Poland   (7,967),   Romania   (6,762),  Hungary   (4,503),   Slovakia   (3,751)  and  Slovenia   (3,154).  Many  migrants   from   the  neighbouring  countries  of  Czech  Republic,  Slovakia  and  Hungary  are  still  coming  as  seasonal  manual  workers,  where   spatial   proximity  and   long  established  personal  history   as   seasonal  workers  often  with  same   employer   are   important   factors.   The   number   of   Romanian   seasonal   workers,   who   are  assumed   to   get   lower   salaries,   is   also   increasing.   The   seasonal  manual   workers   are   not   very  relevant   in   the   city   of   Vienna,   maybe   with   the   exception   of   the   gastronomy   sector   and   in  viticulture,  which  are  mostly  held  by  Slovakians  and  Hungarians.  The  rural  areas  in  the  region  do  require  manual  workers   in  the  agricultural  sector.  The  same  findings  are  also  true  for  the  Linz  urban   region,  where   the   core   city  does  not  need  many   seasonal  workers,   but   the  more   rural  surroundings  entail  high  numbers  of  seasonal  workers,  mostly  in  the  agricultural  sector.    In  the  Netherlands,  the  Dutch  greenhouses  and  horticulture  attracted  particularly  many  Polish  seasonal   workers   even   before   the   enlargements,   where   about   50,000   Poles   worked   in   this  industry  in  1980s  (Dagevos  2011:  31).  There  are  different  reports  on  the  number  of  CEE  labour  migrants  working  in  the  horticulture  sector.  On  the  one  hand,  there  are  studies  that  examine  a  representative  sample  of  CEE  migrants  in  the  Netherlands,  which  estimate  that  between  three  to  17  per  cent  of  all  CEE  migrants   in   the  Netherlands  work   in   the  horticulture  and  agriculture  (De   Boom   et   al.   2008,   Dagevos   2011,   Gijsberts   and   Lubbers   2013,   Timmermans   et   al.   2012).  These   studies   are   derived   from   registered   migrants   who   are   usually   more   permanent   in  character.  On  the  other  hand,  there  are  studies  specifically  focusing  on  CEE  labour  migrants  that  are   using   snowball   sampling   and   similar   methods   (Engbersen   et   al.   2011,   Municipality  Rotterdam   2008,  Weltevrede   et   al.   2009).   Based   on   these   studies,   31   to   50   per   cent   of   CEE  migrants   are   working   in   horticulture.   There   are   two   explanations   for   such   a   discrepancy  

 

  18  

between  the  different  studies.  First,  migrants  who  have  been  in  the  Netherlands  for  only  a  short  time   appear   to   work   in   horticulture   or   agriculture,   and   they   tend   to   be   typical   seasonal   or  circular  migrants  (Heyma  et  al.  2008,  Timmermans  et  al.  2012,  Weltevrede  et  al.  2009).  Second,  Timmermans   et   al.   (2012)   explain   that   migrants,   who   are   working   through   an   employment  agency   in   agriculture,   are   not   registered   in   the   agriculture   sector,   but   in   the   sector   of   the  employment  agency,  where  47  per   cent  actually  works   in   the  agricultural   sector.   Studies  also  show  that  migrants  who  work  in  the  agricultural  sector  are  significantly  likely  to  earn  less  than  migrants  working  in  other  sectors  (Weltevrede  et  al.  2009),  and  more  Poles  than  Bulgarians  or  Romanians   are   working   in   this   sector   (Engbersen   et   al.   2011,   Gijsberts   and   Lubbers   2013,  Weltevrede  et  al.  2009).    In  Sweden,  construction  sector  or  seasonal  work  are  two  areas  where  CEE  migrants  are  working  as   low-­‐skilled   manual   labour   (Municipality   of   Skövde   and   Södertälje   2013).   After   the  enlargement  in  2004,  the  number  of  male  migrants  aged  20-­‐45  working  in  low  skilled  jobs  has  increased  both   in  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg.  The   lack  of  employment  opportunities  and  the  general  economic   situation   in   their  home  countries  have  been  main  push   factors   for   them   to  come   to   Sweden   (Crossroads   Stockholm   2013,   Mikamottagningen   Gothenburg   2013,  Mikamottagningen   Stockholm   2013,   Municipality   of   Skovde   2013,   Municipality   of   Sodertalje  2013,  National  Swedish  Board  of  Health  and  Welfare  2013,  Stockholms  Stadsmission  2013).  This  type  of  migration  is  both  registered  and  unregistered,  and  this  type  of  employment  is  included  both   in  formal  and   informal   labour  markets.  Thus,  the  distinction  between  manual  workers   in  the   regular   employment  market   and   the   ones   in   the   irregular   or   black   sector  must   be  made  clearer.   The   interviews   conducted   by   the   research   team   refer   to   a   relatively   low   number   of  unregistered  migrants  compared  to  the  registered  ones.  In  comparison  to  immigrants  from  the  EU-­‐12   countries,   Wadensjö   and   Gerdes   (2013)   find   a   small   immigrant   overrepresentation   in  construction   and   the   health   sectors,   where   those   born   in   Lithuania   and   Poland   are  overrepresented   in   the   former.   Lithuanians   are   also   greatly   overrepresented   in   agriculture,  working   in  the  southern  part  of  Sweden  (Wadensjö  Eskil  and  Gerdes  2013).  Comparing  labour  migrants   from   the   CEE   to   workers   born   in   Sweden,   there   is   no   significant   variation   in   the  number   of   hours   worked   or   in   average   earnings.   Nevertheless,   when   differences   in   age   and  education  are   taken   into   account,  workers   from   the  new  member   states  have  around   six  per  cent   lower   wages.   The   most   plausible   explanation   for   this   is   de-­‐qualification   of   migration  discussed  earlier,  i.e.  many  of  the  migrants  are  over-­‐educated,  meaning  they  do  not  have  jobs  for  which  they  are  trained.  There  are  differing  views  about  the  possibilities  for   low  skilled  CEE  migrants  to  find  regular  employment.  On  the  one  hand,  some  claim  that  CEE  migrants  working  in   low skilled   jobs   have   been   paid,   albeit   modest   wages   with   records   of   payment,   and   if  unemployed   sporadically,   they   often   find   new   jobs   after   some   months.   On   the   other   hand,  others  state  that  this  group  has  no  or  very  small  chance  to  find  regular  employment,  and  are  left  to  look  for  jobs  in  the  informal  economy  where  they  might  find  jobs  in  sectors  such  as  cleaning,  construction,  or  welding  (Church  of  Sweden  2013,  Municipality  of  Skövde  2013,  Municipality  of  Södertälje  2013).    In  Turkey,   there  may  be   few  manual  workers   from  CEE  who  work   in   agriculture,   industry,   or  construction   sectors,   but   their   numbers   are   really   unknown.   Interviews   conducted   by   the  

 

  19  

research  team  imply  a  small  sample  of  Moldovan  men  working  in  the  construction  sector.  One  reason   for   the  difference  of   the   Turkish   case   than   the  other   countries  under   research   is   that  internal  migration   of   the   Kurdish  minority,   especially   from   the   less   developed   regions   of   the  Eastern   part   of   Turkey   to   the   richer   coastal   and   agricultural   areas,   is   really   supplying   the  demand  in  these  sectors  in  the  country.    On  the  whole,  with  the  exception  of  Turkey,  manual  workers  compose  a  widely  observed  type  of  CEE  migration  in  other  cases  under  research  here.  The  agriculture,  industry,  construction,  and  in   big   cities   such   as   Vienna,   service   sectors   employ   large   segments   of   CEE  migrants,   both   in  formal  and  informal  employment  schemes.    

Persons  Working  in  Private  Households    The  category  of  persons  working  in  private  households  involves  care  workers,  nannies,  cleaning  persons,   and   gardeners.   In   Austria,   care   for   the   elderly   is   an   important   sector   where   CEE  migrants   participate.   This   type   of  migration   is   not   reflected   in   the  official   figures,   as   in  many  cases   it   is   organized  on  a  bi-­‐weekly  basis  or   for   some  months   alternating  with  other  women.  According   to   the   Sociological   Institute   of   the   Slovak   Academy   of   Sciences   (Bahna   2013),   the  number  of  Slovak  nurses  caring  for  seniors  in  Austria  has  increased  from  about  6,000  in  2009  to  16,000  in  2011.  Many  of  them  are  older  than  40  and  have  grown-­‐up  children  allowing  them  to  leave  the  household  and  work  in  Austria.  In  a  survey  conducted  by  the  same  institute,  seven  per  cent   stated   that   they   were   employed   informally.   78   per   cent   are   satisfied   with   their   job   in  Austria,  but  88  per  cent  do  not  want  to  settle  in  Austria  permanently.    There   was   a   public   discussion   about   the   illegal   employment   of   private   nurses   mostly   from  Slovakia,   the   Czech   Republic   and  Moldova.   The   private   users   of   this   kind   of   service,   mostly  elderly  and  disabled  people,  argued  that  they  could  not  do  without  that  help  as  they  could  not  afford  official  nurses.  Estimates  stated  that  about  40,000  households  made  use  of  this  private  assistance  (Biffl  2011:  95)  where  the  employing  households  did  not  only  pay  significantly  lower  wages  than  the   legal  minimum  wage,  but  also  avoided  paying  social  security  contributions  for  the  caregivers.  Thus,  there  were  legislative  changes  that  promoted  legalization  of  such  workers.    While  the  exact  numbers  are  not  available  for  all  CEE  countries,  there  are  surely  thousands  of  women   in   private   households   in   both   Vienna   and   Linz   regions,   who   operate   day   and   night  taking  the  load  off  the  families  as  well  as  the  health  system.  Working  conditions  vary  depending  on  the  household  situation  and  the  health  condition  of  the  patient.  The  payment  is  comparably  low,  but  significantly  higher  than  in  their  countries  of  origin.  There  are  lots  of  agencies   linking  demand  and  supply  in  care,  but  personal  networks  also  play  a  crucial  role  with  care-­‐givers  going  from  one  family  to  other  somehow  between  related  families.    In  the  Netherlands,  a  study  on  informal  workers  (Engbersen  et  al.  2011)  shows  that  14  per  cent  of   the   respondents   worked   in   informal   arrangements.   The   respondents   were   asked   whether  they   worked   with   an   informal/verbal   employment   contract,   which   constituted   the   main  

 

  20  

indicator.  This  seemed  to  be  particularly  very  common  among  the  Bulgarians  where  more  than  half   reported   to   work   in   informal   arrangements   mainly   as   cleaning   or   construction   workers,  bartenders,   or   painters.   The   expert   interviews   in   the   country   report   indicate   that   there   is   a  growing   group   of   CEE   migrants   working   in   domestic   care   and   in   the   cleaning   sector   in   The  Hague,   but   it   is   hard   to   indicate   whether   this   is   part   of   informal   or   formal   arrangements.  Overall,   as   the   Snel   et   al.   (2014)   study   concludes   there   may   be   changes   in   these   informal  arrangements   as   the   end   of   the   transitional   rule  makes   it   easier   to   get   access   to   the   formal  labour  market  for  Bulgarian  and  Romanian  migrants.    In  Sweden,  nursing  and  care  appears  as  an  important  sector  in  both  regions   seven  per  cent  in  Stockholm  and  nine  per  cent  in  Gothenburg.  As  stated  earlier,  Wadensjö  and  Gerdes  (2013)  find  a  small  immigrant  overrepresentation  in  the  health  sector,  but  information  about  unregistered  migrants  working  in  private  households  is  rather  missing.    In  Turkey,   the  traditional  pattern  of  ethnic  kin  migration  from  CEE  seems  to   leave   its  place  to  irregular  migration   and  more   specifically,   irregular   domestic   labour   of   CEE  migrants   (See   for  

 Until  the  2000s,  the  caretakers   in  urban  households  used  to  be  Turkish  migrants  from  the  rural  sites  in  Turkey  who  in  the  last  ten  years  seem  to  be  replaced  mostly  by  female  CEE  and  other  migrants  in  the  domestic  care  sector.  Within  the  high  demand  for  foreign  workers,  Moldovan  and  Bulgarian  women  are  estimated  to  be  the  most  numerous  among  the  CEE   migrants   (Suter   2008).   The   numbers   are   still   unknown   for   this   type   of   migration.   The  caretaker/domestic  worker  profile  is  very  much  observed  in  Istanbul.  With  recent  amendments  to  the  laws  regarding  domestic  labour,  the  rules  are  eased  for  foreign  workers  to  get  residence  and  work  permits.  However,  as  a  result  of   lack  of  will  on  the  side  of  the  employers,  or  due  to  lack   of   documents   on   the   side   of   the   employees,   irregularity   among   domestic   workers   in  Istanbul   is   still   common.   In   addition   to   the   known   risks   coupling   the   irregular   status,   female  migrants  working  as  caretakers  are  surrounded  with  the  common  prejudice  that  they  engage  in  prostitution,   and   enter   Turkey   with   this   intention.   While   Moldovans   usually   face   such   a  prejudice,  Bulgarians  with  Turkish  ethnicity,  who  are  considered  as  Turks,  do  not  (Employment  Agency   2013).   The   line   between   temporary   and   permanent   mobility   within   this   type   of  migration   is   blurred,   as   some   irregular   female   migrants   are   known   to   spend   many   years   in  Turkey   despite   their   lack   of   status.  Working   either   as   nannies,   or   caretakers,   these  migrants  earn  less  compared  to  the  Turks  working  in  the  same  sector.    All  in  all,  in  all  countries  under  research  migrants  working  in  private  households  as  care  workers,  nannies,   cleaning   persons,   and   gardeners   are   observed   phenomena.   A   main   issue   that   is  prevalent   in   all   cases   is   the   problem   of   registration,   where   the   distinction   between   formal  versus  informal  migrants  becomes  difficult  to  distinguish.    

Sex  Workers  and  Trafficked  Persons    In   Austria,   citing   the   estimates   of   the   police,   an   expert   stated   that   there   are   about   2,000  Hungarian   and   Romanian   women   in   Vienna   who   are   registered   sex   workers.   The   number  

 

  21  

represents  the  majority  of  a  total  of  3,400  registered  sex  workers  in  the  Austrian  capital.  While  the   number   of   registered   sex   workers   may   to   some   extent   represent   a   voluntary   choice   of  profession,  there  are  also  many  that  are  forced  into  prostitution.  To  illustrate,  in  July  2013,  21  women  from  the  same  region  in  Bulgaria,  who  had  been  officially  brought  to  Austria  and  were  registered   as   sex  workers  were   rescued   from   trafficking.   There   is   also   a   hidden  dimension  of  unregistered  sex  workers  in  private  flats  and  rooms  that  cannot  be  quantified.    In   the  Netherlands,  prostitution   is   legalized  under  certain  conditions,  but   there  are  no  official  statistics   on   the  number   and  origin  of   sex  workers.   Thus,   the  number  of  CEE  migrants   in   the  Netherlands  working  as  prostitutes  is  unknown.  In  a  study  by  Dekker,  Tap  and  Homburg  (2006)  on  the  social  position  of  354  prostitutes,  nine  per  cent  of  the  respondents  had  CEE  origin,  which  were  mainly  working   in   the   illegal   part   of   the   sex   industry.  MOVISIE   research   (2009)   showed  that   there   are   under-­‐aged   boy   prostitutes   coming   particularly   from   Romania   (Ostaijen   et   al.  2014).  A  report  from  the  Public  Health  Service  of  Amsterdam  report  an  increase  in  Romanian,  Bulgarian  and  Hungarian  women  among  the  Amsterdam  window  prostitutes  between  2005  and  2007  (Van  der  Helm  2008).  On  the  level  of  the  urban  regions,  there  is  limited  data  available  on  CEE  sex  workers  for  The  Hague  and  Rotterdam.  Recent  research  of  Heuts,  Tromp  and  Homburg  (2012),  based  on  estimates  of  experts,  come  up  with  a  total  number  of  1000  to  1500  prostitutes  working  in  licensed  prostitution  businesses.  After  the  EU  enlargements  of  both  2004  and  2007,  experts   saw   an   increase   in   the   number   of   sex   workers   coming   from   the   CEE   countries   of  Romania,   Bulgaria   and   Hungary.   According   to   the   experts,   a   quarter   of   all   (legal)   window  prostitutes  in  The  Hague  are  coming  from  these  three  CEE  countries.    A   considerable   part   of   the   (possible)   victims   of   human   trafficking   are   also   coming   from   CEE  countries.  In  2012,  most  (possible)  victims  of  human  trafficking  were  coming  from  Bulgaria  (18  per   cent),   followed  by  Hungary   (13   per   cent),   Romania   (eight   per   cent)   and   Poland   (four   per  cent).  An  explanation  for  the  high  number  of  Bulgarians  and  Romanians  as  (possible)  victims  of  human  trafficking  lies  in  the  fact  that  neither  are  members  of  the  Schengen  zone,  meaning  that  they   are   subject   to   passport   controls   at   Dutch   airports.   Based   on   data   by   CoMensha   (2012),  which   is   responsible   for   the   registration   of   human   trafficking,   while   most   female   (possible)  victims   of   human   trafficking   are   exploited   in   prostitution,   most   males   are   exploited   in   the  agricultural  sector.    In  Sweden,  street  prostitution  is  observed  both  in  Stockholm  and  Gothenburg  where  it  is  only  women   that   earn   money   selling   sexual   services   (Mikamottagningen   Göteborg   and  Mikamottagningen   Stockholm   2013).   The   average   age   of   the  women   in   street   prostitution   in  both   urban   regions   is   between   20-­‐25   years   of   age   (Mikamottagningen   Gothenburg   and  Stockholm   2013).   Women   observed   in   street   prostitution   have   no   or   a   very   low   level   of  education,   but   there   are   some   exceptions   with   vocational,   secondary,   tertiary,   or   university  education.  The  women  involved  in  street  prostitution  might  stay  shorter  periods  of  time  (a  week  or   so)   in   hotels   (City   of   Stockholm   2013a,   Crossroads   Stockholm   2013,   Mikamottagningen  Gothenburg   and   Stockholm   2013,   Stockholms   Stadsmission   2013).   In   Stockholm,   there   is   a  constant  number  of  seven  to  ten  women  from  Romania,  Hungary,  Bulgaria,  Moldova,  the  Baltic  countries  and  few  from  Poland  involved  in  street  prostitution,  which  has  increased  since  2009,

but  now  remains  constant  (Mikamottagningen  Stockholm  2013).  In  Gothenburg,  more  or  less  a  constant  number  of  almost  28  CEE  citizens  are  participating  in  street  prostitution,  all  of  them  of  the  Roma  minority  (Mikamottagningen  Gothenburg  2013).    In   Turkey,   statistics   on   human   trafficking   based   on   the   data   of   Ministry   of   Internal   Affairs  demonstrate  that  there  were  a  total  of  1,145  (known)  victims  of  human  trafficking  between  the  years  2004  and  2010.  With  a  steady  decrease,  the  numbers  of  trafficked  people  fell  from  more  than  200  in  2004  to  below  50  persons  in  2010.  The  proportion  of  CEE  migrants  in  this  category  was  43  per  cent  in  2004,  63  per  cent  in  2005,  46  per  cent  in  2006,  47  per  cent  in  2007,  29  per  cent   in  2008,  13  per  cent   in  2009  and  20  per  cent   in  2010.  The  highest  numbers  of  trafficking  victims   from   the   CEE   countries  were   from  Moldova,   Ukraine,   Romania,   Belarus   and   Bulgaria.  Human  trafficking  victims  from  Moldova  constituted  more  than  half  of  all  trafficking  cases  from  CEE  countries.    Overall,   the   distinction   between   formal   and   informal   arrangements   is   hard   to   differentiate  regarding   the   sex   workers   and   trafficked   persons.   The   problem   is   twofold:   while   some   sex  workers   are   not   registered   and   working   informally,   among   registered   sex   workers   that   may  represent   a   voluntary   choice   of   profession   in   a   formal   setting   there   are   also   many   that   are  forced  into  prostitution.    

Students    In  Austria,  the  experts  agreed  that  besides  economic  motivations,  education  and  better  future  perspectives  constitute  major  migration  motives.  In  2012,  there  were  12,799  students  from  the  eleven  CEE  countries  in  Austria,  and  75  per  cent  were  registered  in  universities  in  the  region  of  Vienna.  Only  three  per  cent  of  students  from  CEE  were  registered  in  Linz.   In  general,  between  2002  and  2012,  the  number  of  students   increased  by  44  per  cent  (+42  per  cent  for  CEE-­‐11)  in  Vienna  and  by  63  per  cent  (+48  per  cent  for  CEE-­‐11)  in  Linz.  One  expert  stated  that  Bulgarians  constitute   the   third   largest   group   of   foreign   students   after   German   and   Italian   citizens   in  Austria.    In   the  Netherlands,   like  high  skilled  knowledge  workers,  CEE  students  also  employ  a  category  that   does   not   fit   in   the   popular   image   of   CEE   nationals   working   at   the   bottom   of   the   Dutch  labour  market.  In  2012,  166  students  from  CEE  countries  were  registered  at  Delft  University  (29  Bulgarian,  21  Hungarian,  37  Polish,  and  79  Romanian  students)  (TU  Delft  2012).  Rotterdam  also  has   students   from  CEE,  where  many  Polish,  Romanian  and  Bulgarian   students   are  enrolled  at  the  Erasmus  University  Rotterdam  (Ostaijen  et  al.  2014).    In  Sweden,   313   individuals,   five   per   cent,   are   registered   as   students   in   2013.   The   number   of  university  students  from  the  five  largest  CEE  countries  increased  from  38  in  2001  to  165  in  2011  in  Gothenburg.  There  is  also  an  increase  in  the  numbers  in  the  Stockholm  urban  region  for  the  same   academic   years.   Since   the   2004   and   2007   enlargements,   the   number   of   Lithuanian  students  has  increased  the  most  in  both  regions,  followed  by  Romanians  in  Stockholm  (Swedish  

 

  23  

Higher   Education   Authority   2013).   Some   gender   differences   are   observed  within   this   type   of  migration:  While  13  per  cent  of  women  in  Gothenburg  and  11  per  cent  of  women  in  Stockholm  are  registered  as  students,  the  corresponding  figure  for  the  men  is  an  average  of  four  per  cent  in  both  regions.  However,  while  the  share  of  students  among  male  migrants  remained  more  or  less   the   same,   the   share   of  women   registering   as   student   had   decreased   to   four   per   cent   in  Gothenburg  and  six  per  cent  in  Stockholm  in  2010.      In  Turkey,  encouraged  by  the  state  authorities  of  higher  education  in  Turkey,  student  migration  in   general,   and   from   CEE   in   particular,   is   visibly   increasing.   Between   2003   and   2012   the  percentage  of  CEE  migrants  with  residence  permits  based  on  education  constituted  an  average  of  22  per  cent  of  all  foreign  students  in  Turkey,  fluctuating  between  five  and  seven  thousand  in  a   total   number   of   21   to   37   thousand   residence   permits   based   on   education.   In   2009,   the  proportion  of  CEE  students  dropped  to  21  per  cent  in  a  total  of  27,000  students  followed  by  a  further   decrease   to   17   per   cent   in   a   total   of   37,000   students   in   2011.   The   decrease   in   the  proportion  of  CEE  is  essentially  caused  by  the  increase  in  the  total  number  of  residence  permits  based   on   education,  which   jumped   from   close   to   22,000   to  more   than  37,000   in   a   period  of  eight  years  in  Turkey.  Among  the  CEE  students  in  Turkey,  the  largest  communities  are  Bulgarian,  Albanian,  Serbian,  Macedonian,  and  Ukrainian  students.  More  specifically,  Bulgarians  make  up  nine  per  cent,  Albanians  approximately  three  per  cent,  students  from  Serbia  and  Montenegro  and  Macedonia  constitute  approximately   two  per  cent  each,  and  Ukrainian  students  make  up  one  per  cent  in  the  pool  of  all  foreign  students  in  Turkey.  In  another  light,  EU-­‐2  countries  led  by  Bulgaria  constitute  the   largest  migration  corridor,   followed  by  the  Potential  Candidates   led  by  Albania   and   Kosovo   and   finally   Eastern   Partnership   States   driven   by   Ukraine   and   Moldova.  University  of  Thrace  in  Edirne  receives  a   large  scale  of  student  migration  from  Kosovo,  Serbia,  Montenegro,   Croatia   and   Macedonia,   especially   to   the   Balkan   Research   Centre   and   Balkan  Languages   Translation   Department.   The   university   has   the   target   of   becoming   a   centre   for  foreign   students   in   the   region,   which   reflects   on   the   migration   patterns   in   the   province  (University  of  Thrace  2013   ).  For  example,  CEE  students  in  the  university  in  2013  are  approximately  47  per  cent  of  the  total  foreign  student  population.  The  largest  student  communities  are  from  Kosovo  with  287  students,  Bulgaria  with  215  students,  Macedonia  with  103  students  and  Albania  with  33  students.  In  other  words,  the  proportion  of  Kosovars  is  19  per  cent,  Bulgarians  14  per  cent,  Macedonians  seven  per  cent,  and  Albanians  two  per  cent  among  all   foreign   students.   The   gender   distribution   in   each   group   is   very   similar   with   female   CEE  students   in   this  university   being  318   in   comparison   to  384  male  CEE   students.   Students   from  these   regions   have   established   student   solidarity   organizations   based   on   nationality   and   are  well   integrated   with   the   student   community   in   Edirne.   While   this   movement   is   a   more  temporary  form  of  migration,  students  seem  mostly  to  have  the  intention  of  staying  after  their  graduation.  However,  there  is  no  specific  data  on  the  number  and  backgrounds  of  the  students  who  continue  their  residence  in  Turkey  after  their  graduation.  Like  Edirne,  student  migration  in  Istanbul  is  also  noticeable.  However,  this  has  a  more  temporary  character  as  many  students  are  coming  as  exchange  students.  Erasmus  and  other  EU  scheme  exchange  programs  are  definitely  facilitating  this  type  of  mobility.  Moreover,  in  some  cases,  like  Hungary,  there  exists  a  bilateral  agreement  of  student  exchange  with  Turkey  outside  of  Erasmus  and  other  EU  schemes.  All  in  all,  international  student  mobility  from  CEE  countries  is  increasing  in  all  four  countries.

Non-­‐working  Spouses  and  Children    Most   CEE  migrants   come   to  Austria   in   order   to   improve   their   economic   situation   and   living  standard,   fleeing   from   poverty   and/or   unemployment.   Others   accompany   their   partner   or  spouse.   Another   migration   motive   involves   future   chances   for   children   including   better  schooling  and  improving  their  language  proficiency  in  the  German  language.  In  Austria  children  (those  aged  under  15)  form  a  small  portion  of  migration  from  CEE.  This  is  also  true  for  Vienna  and   Linz.   In   the   Vienna   urban   region,   7,931   children   were   registered,   and   their   share   in   all  registered   CEE   migrants   varies   from   two   per   cent   (the   Czech   Republic)   up   to   six   per   cent  (Romania).  In  Linz,  there  are  only  756  children  of  CEE  descent  who  were  registered  in  2013,  the  majority  of  them  coming  from  Romania.    temporary  and  volatile  migration  projects  may  be  a  reason  contributing  to  the  low  presence  of  children  in  numbers  where  migration  does  not  allow  a  whole  family  to  participate,  so  children  have  to  remain  in  the  country  of  origin  staying  with   either  one   parent,   their   grandparents   or   other   relatives.   Recently,   there   is   also   a   rather  new   phenomenon   of   children   entering   Austria   as   daily   commuters   or   attending   boarding  schools,  which   is  part  of  a  new  migration   type  of   volatile   transnational   lives   that  needs  more  exploration.    In  the  Netherlands,  experts  in  the  country  report  indicate  that  80  per  cent  of  CEE  migration  in  Rotterdam   was   related   to   families,   where   women   were   becoming   more   independent   and  leading   migration.   This   is   a   rather   new   and   different   phenomenon   than   the   single   male  migration   that   has  been  historically   observed.   In   the   cities   of   Rotterdam  and   The  Hague,   the  numbers  of  registered  pupils  are  increasing.  In  Rotterdam,  there  are  2,228  registered  children  of  CEE  migrants   (age  4-­‐22),  of  which  65  per   cent   (1,437)  are  getting  education   (in   the  academic  year  2011-­‐2012).  Most  children  (955)  are  in  the  age  of  4-­‐11  years  or  in  the  age  of  0-­‐3  years  (864)  (Municipality  Rotterdam  2013a:  27).   In  The  Hague,   the   total   amount  of  CEE  children  going   to  school  has  nearly  doubled  from  1,077  in  2010  to  2,083  in  2013.  Not  only  in  early  schooling,  but  also   in   primary   education,   the   numbers   of   CEE   children   have   increased   from   532   in   2008   to  1,224  in  2013  (Starrenburg  and  Van  der  Velden  2013).    In  Sweden,  after  employment,  the  second  largest  reason  for  registering  for  residence  permit  is  the   intention   of   family  members   to   accompany   their   spouses   and   parents.   Thus,   among   the  registered  migrants,  an  average  of  20  per  cent  of  residence  permits  is  issued  to  children  and  15  per  cent  to  relatives  (Swedish  Migration  Board  2013b).  Migrant  children  seem  to  get  access  to  the  Swedish  primary  education  system  without  problems,   independently  of  the  labour  market  status  or  socioeconomic  situation  of  the  parents.  Children  are  rarely  seen   in  the  street,  partly  explained   by   the   fact   that   the   social   services   get   involved   if   a   child   is   spotted   in   a   risk  environment   such   as   begging.   In   relation   to   unregistered  migration,   there   is   a   domination   of  men  migrating  alone,  leaving  their  spouses  or  children  back  in  their  home  countries.    In   Turkey,   the   data   on   residence   permits   do   not   include   those   children   who   are   residing   in  

,   but   the   highest   proportion   of   residence   permits  granted   upon   education   is   in   primary   education,  which  may   point   out   that   in   different   cases  migration  also  involves  accompanying  children  and  probably  other  family  members.

Beggars  and  Homeless  People    In  Austria,  begging  is  a  sensitive  public  issue  that  is  relevant  for  both  Vienna  and  Linz,  but  there  are  no  reliable  figures  and/or  estimates  of  the  number  of  beggars  and  their  countries  of  origin.  Thuswald   (2012)   shows   that  many  beggars   in  Vienna  are   female,   young  and  commuting   from  the  neighbouring  countries,  especially  from  Slovakia  and  Hungary,  who  see  begging  in  Austria  as  a   kind   of   informal   survival   strategy.   The   push   factors   for   this   type   of   migrants   are   poverty,  unemployment  and  a  lack  of  perspectives  in  their  home  country,  while  a  major  pull  factor  is  the  informal   information  that  begging  in  Austria  would  offer  a  chance  of  earning  money.  Romania  and  Bulgaria  have  also  become  important  sending  countries  for  this  type  of  informal  migrants,  who   often   live   in   vacant   accommodations   or   rent   rooms.   In   Vienna,   a   lobby   that   came   into  existence   after   a   conference   of   the   Austrian  Network   against   Poverty   and   Social   Exclusion   (a  large  network  of  NGOs)   in   the  year  2008   is   seeking   to   raise  awareness  about   the   situation  of  beggars  and  offers  a  comprehensive  internet  presence  where  beggars  can  receive   information  on  medical  help,  warm  food,  clothes  or  shelter,  or  legal  advice  in  case  they  are  arrested  or  fined  in  Hungarian,  Slovakian,  Bulgarian,  and  Romanian  languages.    In   the   Netherlands,   there   is   a   formal   criterion  homeless   people   present   in   a   city   for   at   least   two   years   may   be   accepted   into   a   homeless  shelter,   which   cannot   be   met   by   most   homeless   CEE   migrants   (Snel   et   al.   2011b).   This  requirement  is  not  applied,  when  temperatures  are  expected  to  be  too  cold  to  sleep  out  during  winter.  Accordingly,  and  to  illustrate,   in  the  cold  winter  of  2012,  homeless  shelters   in  the  four  largest   cities   in   the   Netherlands   provided   shelter   to   16   to   131   CEE   migrants.   Some   studies  consider  these  as   marginal  residents  rather  than  typifying  them  homeless   (Van   Gestel,   Van   Straalen,   Verhoeven   and   Kouwenberg   2013:   84).   Like   in   Austria,  there   was   a   public   debate   about   homeless   CEE   nationals,   mainly   Poles,   particularly   in   The  Hague.   The  estimations  about  number  of  homeless  CEE  nationals  differed   from  600,  which   is  probably  exaggerated  as  CEE  nationals  who  are  not  necessarily  really  homeless,  but  make  use  of  day  care  facilities   for  the  homeless  are  also   included   in  this   (Engbersen  et  al.  2011,  Snel  et  al.  2011b)  to  135  (Bertram  and  Van  Aartsen  2012:  5).  In  fact,  the  numbers  are  low  and  decreasing,  which   can   be   a   result   of   collaboration  with   Barka,   a   Polish   organization   that   organizes  voluntary  return  for  Polish  nationals  without  any  means  of  existence,  and  the  fact  that  sleeping  rough  is  officially  forbidden  in  Rotterdam  for  example.  There  is  an  interesting  new  phenomenon  of  non-­‐registered  Bulgarians  selling  homeless  journals  in  the  streets,  which  they  consider  as  real  work,   or   street   musicians   with   more   informal   survival   strategies   becoming   more   visible   in  Rotterdam  and  The  Hague.   In  order  to  be  eligible  to  sell  homeless  journals,  one  needs  a  pass;  the  maximum  of  500  passes  is  already  reached  in  Rotterdam.    In  Sweden,   in  an  attempt   to   find  out   information  about  the  number  of  marginalised   irregular  migrants,   in   2012,   the   National   Swedish   Board   of   Health   and   Welfare   asked   municipal  authorities   to   report   their   observations   from   a   24-­‐hour   period.   Based   on   these   reports,   the  board   estimated   the   number   of   homeless   EU   citizens   as   370,   majority   being   men   with   an  

 

  26  

average   age   of   38   years   old   (the   age   span   really   ranging   from   18   to   76   years),   coming   from  Romania  as  well  as  Poland,  Bulgaria,  Slovakia  and  Spain  (National  Swedish  Board  of  Health  and  Welfare  2013).  However,   the   total  number  of  such  people   is   likely   to  be  higher.  For  example,  the   NGO   Crossroads   Stockholm   alone   receives   on   average   120   visits   every   day   (Crossroads  Stockholm   2013).   From   Nov   2012   to   April   2013   the   outreach   team   of   the   municipality   of  Stockholm  working   exclusively   with   people   in   risk   environments,   observed   205   individuals   in  open  homelessness  or  other    situation  and  a  total  of  13  under  aged  children  (City  of  Stockholm   2013b).   As   another   point   of   illustration,   only   in   the   municipality   of   Haninge,   the  Church  of  Sweden  meets  78  to  80  individuals  from  Poland,  the  Baltic  countries  and  Russia  daily,  a  routine  that  has  been  more  or  less  permanent  since  2011  (Church  of  Sweden  2013).  The  first  sign   of   irregular  migration   flows   from   the   CEE   came   in   2006,  when   the   outreach   unit   of   the  municipal   social   services   observed   a   group   of   10   to   12   individuals   begging   in   the   streets   of  Gothenburg.   A   year   later,   the   number   had   increased   to   19   people,   mainly   from   Slovakia,  Romania  and  Hungary   (City  of  Gothenburg  2013a).  As  of  2012,  begging  has  been  observed   in  almost   all   municipalities,   where   social   services   stated   that   the   majority   of   the   EU   migrants  begging  in  the  streets  of  Gothenburg  were  women.    In   Turkey,   the   local   Roma   population   is   observed   begging   in   the   streets,   but   beggars   or  homeless  people  from  the  CEE  countries  are  rare.    

5.  Conclusions  and  Emerging  Issues    Despite  the  differences  in  availability,  form  and  nature  of  data  in  four  countries,  the  exercise  of  a   comparative  mapping  and  analysis  of   types  of  migration   from  CEE   countries   to  Austria,   the  Netherlands,   Sweden,   and   Turkey   develops   interesting   conclusions.   The   reasons   that   make  international  comparisons  challenging  are  not  unique  to  these  four  countries,  where  disparities  in  data   collection  practices  between  countries,   the   changing  nature  of   political  unions   (in  our  case  for  example,  being  a  member  of  the  EU,  or  applying  transitional  rules),  and  informal  paths  of  migration  all  contribute  to  the  problem.    Still,  creating  a  typology  of  CEE  migration  is  possible  as  a  heuristic  device  for  comparison  and  as  a  tool  with  an  exploratory  value  (See  Table  5  for  an  overview).  To  begin  with,  the  small  presence  of   knowledge   workers   of   high-­‐skilled   jobs   in   all   four   countries   is   informative   not   only   for  understanding  the  de-­‐qualification  of  migrants  with  CEE  origin  in  the  labour  market,  but  also  to  recognise   the   glass   ceiling   created   by   the   established   structures   in   all   four   countries.   In   EU  member   states,   self-­‐employment   seems   to   be   an   important   instrument   for   migrants   from  different  CEE  countries  to  overcome  the  limitations  created  by  the  recognized  structures  such  as  transitional  rules  in  the  case  of  Austria  and  the  Netherlands,  or  strict  labour  market  regulations  in   the  case  of  Sweden.  Manual  workers   in  Austria,   the  Netherlands,  and  Sweden  seem   to  be  taking  more  seasonal  jobs  mostly  in  agricultural  sector,  suggesting  prospects  for  new  regimes  of  circular  migration,  where  the  difference  between  registered/unregistered  migrants  is  blurred.

In  all  four  countries,  persons  working  in  private  households  seem  to  be  part  of  unregistered  or  irregular  migration  patterns,  and  there  is  still  much  to  learn  about  both  the  scale  and  nature  of  this  type  of  migration.  A  similar  observation  can  also  be  made  about  sex  workers  and  trafficked  persons,   non-­‐working   spouses   and   children,   and   beggars   and   homeless   people.   All   three  groups  comprise  vulnerable  persons,  and  more   research  needs   to  be  done   to  understand   the  level  and  character  of   their  vulnerabilities.  The  number  of   foreign  students   is   increasing   in  all  four  countries,  also  opening  a  rather  new  venue  for  research.    Within  this  larger  context,  it  may  be  interesting  to  analyse  two  further  issues  in  relation  to  CEE  migration   in   more   detail:   (1)   Feminization   of   migration,   where   the   analysis   should   not   only  focus   on   the   increasing   number   of   female   migrants   in   CEE   migration,   but   also   explore   the  changes   in  the  profiles  of   female  migrants  with  a  gender  approach.  The  country  reports  show  that   CEE   migration   is   becoming   largely   feminized   for   all   four   countries   under   research.   (2)  Degradation  of  qualifications  or  de-­‐qualification  of  migrants,  where  reports  also  underline  that  the   educational   level   or   qualifications   of   migrants   do   not   always   correspond   with   their  employment  status.

Gender:  Feminization  of  CEE  Migration    Feminization   of  migration   is   described   here   as   increasing   number   of   female  migrants   in   CEE  migration.  Feminization  of  migration  can  also  be  taken  as  a  change  on  the  analytical  criteria  of  the   migratory   phenomenon   by   including   the   approach   of   gender   and/or   as   a   change   in   the  female   mig   The   latter   two   approaches   are   also   important   to  analyse,  and  it  is  exactly  why  the  issue  is  presented  here  as  emerging,  thus  implying  a  venue  for  further  research.    In  Austria,  the  gender  composition  of  CEE  migration  has  changed  a  lot  since  the  end  of  the  Cold  War.   Female  migrants   from   CEE   (being   15   years   and   older)   have   an   increasing   presence   and  importance,  clearly  outnumbering  males.  While  the  proportion  of  male  migrants  among  all  CEE-­‐migrants  ranged  at  around  70  per  cent  with  only  little  variation  between  the  sending  countries  and  with  around  one  third  not  having  reached  the  age  of  30  years   in  1991,   today,  young  and  middle-­‐aged   female  migrants   gained   importance   and   visibly   exceeding   the   number   of  males.  Women  from  CEE  are  more  visible  in  the  service  sector,  in  child  caring  as  well  as  caring  for  old-­‐aged  people  in  private  households,  which  are  those  fields  of  occupation  with  a  strong  demand  in   Austria,   thus   providing   considerable   numbers   of   jobs,   but   generally   displaying   modest  incomes  and  often  organized  on  an  informal  basis.  The  urban  regions  of  Vienna  and  Linz  do  not  show  a  variance  from  this  trend  on  the  national  level.  While  the  figures  of  residents  that  were  born   in   EU-­‐11   do   not   show   big   differences   in   gender   patterns   in   the  whole   of   Vienna   urban  region,   the   study   of   Lechner   et   al.   (2010)   referring   primarily   to   the   (daily)   commuters   in   the  Austro-­‐Hungarian  border  region  (South-­‐Eastern  parts  of  the  region  of  Vienna)  show  clear  gender  and  age   specific  patterns.  Accordingly,  about  75  per   cent  of   the  Hungarian  workers  are  male.  Many  of  these  migrants  choose  to  commute  to  Austria  daily,  as  they  can  stay  and  live  in  western  Hungary  (with  still   lower  living  and  residential  costs)  and  work  in  the  border  regions  of  Austria  with  higher  wage   levels.   Thus,   geographical   proximity   is   a  determining   factor  of   their   type  of  migration,  where  males  show  a  stronger  presence  than  females.    In  the  Netherlands,  there  is  also  a  tendency  towards  feminization  of  migration,  where  majority  (albeit  a  small  portion  in  some  cases)  of  the  officially  registered  CEE  migrants  in  the  Netherlands  are  females  (51  per  cent  of  Polish  and  Bulgarian,  54  per  cent  of  Hungarian,  and  60  per  cent  of  Romanians).  While   the  portion  of   females  among   the   labour  migrants   is   low   (Nicolaas  2011a,  Jennissen   2011),   females   are   overrepresented   in  migration   for   family  motives   (Gijsberts   and  Lubbers   2013).   Looking   at   the   ratios   on   the   level   of   urban   regions,   in   Rotterdam,   the   total  percentage   of   females   is   more   than   the   males   in   all   three   municipalities.   The   difference   is  profound   among   the   Romanian   migrants,   where   females   are   overrepresented   in   all  municipalities   (37   per   cent  males,   63   per   cent   females   in   Rotterdam;   38   per   cent  males,   62  females   in  Schiedam;  and  28  per  cent  males,  72  per  cent   females   in  Lansingerland).  Similarly,  the  male-­‐female-­‐ratio  in  The  Hague  region  is  also  in  favour  of  the  female  migrants,  where  the  total   percentage   of   females   is   more   than   the   males   in   all   three   municipalities.   In   the  municipalities  of  The  Hague  and  Westland,  women  are  overrepresented  among  both  Romanians  

 

  32  

(59-­‐60  per  cent  female)  and  Hungarians  (63-­‐64  per  cent  females).  In  the  municipality  of  Delft,  a  similar  overrepresentation  is  true  for  the  Polish  (62  per  cent  females).    In  Sweden,  gender  distribution  shows  a  variance  between  registered  and  unregistered  migrants.  While   the   flows   of   regular   and   registered   CEE   migrants   are   characterized   by   a   rather   even  gender   distribution,   the   group   of   CEE   immigrants   overlooked   by   the   official   records   is  dominantly  male.  In  2012,  of  the  148,998  individuals  born  in  one  of  the  EU-­‐10  countries  living  in  Sweden,  the  gender  distribution  was  45  per  cent  male  and  55  per  cent  female.  For  the  CEE  as  a  whole,  the  gender  distribution  has  been  more  or  less  the  same  throughout  the  period  between  2000  and  2012,  with  a  somewhat  larger  share  of  women  than  men  (average  of  42  per  cent  men,  58   per   cent   women).   The   same   is   true   for   the   five   largest   immigrant   populations,   with   the  exception  for  the  Polish  and  Lithuanian  ones,  where  the  share  of  males  have  increased  slightly  during  the  ten  years  period  between  2000-­‐2012  (Statistics  Sweden  2013g).  Of  the  2732  citizens  from   the  CEE   region  who  obtained   Swedish   citizenship   in  2012,   1627  were  women  and  1105  were  men  (Statistics  Sweden  2013a).  Polish  women  consist  the  largest  category  representing  36  per  cent  (975)  of  all  CEE  naturalizations  in  Sweden  in  2012.   In  the  urban  region  of  Stockholm,  women  had  a  larger  share  than  men  in  both  the  municipality  of  Haninge  and  Stockholm  (51  and  56  per  cent  respectively).  In  Södertälje,  the  ratio  was  48  per  cent  women,  52  per  cent  men.  In  the  region  of  Gothenburg,  women  were  the   larger  category   in  all  three  municipalities  ranging  from  53  to  60  per  cent.    In   Turkey,   the   number   of   female   CEE   migrants   with   residence   permits   in   2011   was  approximately  59  per  cent  of  the  total  regular  CEE  migrants.  In  the  previous  years,  the  residence  permits  given  to  women  constituted  55  per  cent  in  2008,  54  per  cent  in  2009,  and  55  per  cent  in  2010.   These   high   percentages   of   female  migrants   among   the   CEE  migrants   were   also   higher  than  the  averages  of  female  migrants  among  total  migrants   in  Turkey.  For  same  years,  female  migrants  constituted  50  per  cent  (2008),  51  per  cent  (2009),  52  per  cent  (2010)  and  54  per  cent  (2011)   of   total   migrants   in   Turkey,   which   are   below   the   proportion   of   women   among   CEE  migrants.  In  a  more  detailed  analysis,  it  is  demonstrated  that  there  is  a  gender  balance  of  CEE  migration  between  2003  and  2005,  male  domination  in  2006  and  2007,  and  female  domination  after  the  year  2008.  A  similar  trend  of  increasing  female  domination  is  also  observed,  when  we  look  at  the  work  permits.  An  analysis  of  gender  distribution  of  CEE  migrants  with  work  permits  in  the  year  2008  shows  that  female  migrants  constitute  only  37  per  cent  of  the  CEE  community  holding   employment   permits.   However,   the   difference   between   women   and   men   with  employment   permits   starts   closing   in   2009   when   women   constitute   almost   half   of   the   CEE  migrants   with   work   permits.   More,   in   an   increasing   trenmigrants  with  employment  permits   in   2010,  2011  and  2012  becomes  52,   65   and  67  per   cent  respectively.  However,   like   in   Sweden,   the   gender  distribution  may   show  a   variance  between  registered  and  unregistered  migrants.  While   the   flows  of   regular  and   registered  CEE  migrants  are   characterized   by   a   recent   female   domination,   looking   at   the   apprehension   data   (a   basic  variable  for  estimation  of  unofficial  migration)  especially  in  Edirne,  we  see  that  it  is  dominantly  male.  However,  there  is  also  a  variance  among  unregistered  migration  between  irregular  labour  migrants   and   irregular   transit  migrants.  While   female  CEE  migrants  may   largely  dominate   the  former   (like   in   Austria,   there   is   a   strong   demand   for   domestic   female  workers),   the   latter   is  

 

  33  

largely   a   male   dominated   phenomenon.   In   Istanbul,   the   variance   is   also   visible   between  different  types  of  migration.    As  stated  earlier,  analysis  of   feminization  of  migration  should  not  only  focus  on  the  increasing  number  of  female  migrants  in  CEE  migration,  which  was  already  largely  reflected  in  the  country  reports,  but  also  explore  the  changes  in  the  profiles  of  female  migrants  with  a  gender  approach;  thus,  paving  the  way  for  further  research  on  the  subject.    

Education:  De-­‐qualification  of  CEE  Migration    Like   feminization   of   CEE   migration,   de-­‐qualification   appears   as   a   noticeable   area   for   further  research.  Literature  suggest  several  factors  that  lead  migrants  to  take  on  jobs  that  do  not  match  with   their   skills,   which   are   non-­‐recognition   of   credentials,   educational   level   or   experience  abroad   (Green   and  Worswick   2002,   Ferrer   and   Riddell   2003);   poorer   quality   of   education   in  some   countries   (Sweetman   2003);   language   disadvantage;   weak   social   networks;   and   lack   of  information  regarding  the  job  market  in  the  host  country  (Galarneau  and  Morissette  2004).  The  issue   is   particularly   visible   and   discussed   among   academic   and   policy   circles   in   the   case   of  Austria,  where  a  significant  feature  of  CEE  migration,  which  is   largely  different   from  the  guest  worker  migration  from  the  former  Yugoslavia  and  Turkey  of  the  1960s  and  1970s,  was  the  above  average  level  of  education  of  many  immigrants  (Fassmann  et  al.  1993,  1999).  Thus,  brain  drain  is  an  integral  part  of  CEE  migration  since  1989  (Iredale  2001).  There  are  higher  shares  of  migrants  from  EU-­‐10  as  well  as  EU-­‐2  countries  with  a  tertiary  education  compared  to  the  Austrian  born  population.   There   are   also   differences   between   EU-­‐10   and   EU-­‐2:  while   17   per   cent   of   EU-­‐10  immigrants  have  tertiary  education,  almost  every  third  immigrant  born  in  Romania  and  Bulgaria  only  displays  primary  education.  There  are  also  notable  differences  between  Vienna  and  Linz  in  relation  to  educational  levels  of  CEE  migrants:  The  share  of  persons  with  a  tertiary  education  is  higher   in  Vienna   than   in  Linz   for  all  groups  under  consideration.  On  the  one  hand,  every   fifth  CEE  migrant   in   the   capital  belongs   to   the  best-­‐educated  group,  a   fact  once  again  proving   the  high  qualifications  East-­‐West  migrants  have  brought  to  Austria  since  1989.  On  the  other  hand,  around  one  third  of  CEE  migrants  in  Linz  display  primary  education  only.  Thus,  it  is  obvious  that  access  to  a  more  qualified  labour  market  in  the  capital  of  Austria  demands  higher  qualifications.    Within  this  context,  de-­‐qualification  remains  to  be  a  problem  that  has  often  been  detected  and  analysed  (for  example,  Fassmann  et  al.  (1995,  2004)  on  Polish  migration;  and  Morocvasic  (1994)  and  Morocvasic   and   De   Tinguy   (1993)   on   East-­‐West  migration   in   general).   Even   in   the   early  phase   of   East-­‐West   migration,   the   anticipation   and   acceptance   of   de-­‐qualification   by   the  migrants   themselves   was   a   widespread   phenomenon   among   potential   migrants   from   CEE  (Fassmann  et  al.  1993),  which   is  still  a  compromise  some  CEE  migrants  have  to  make  to  enter  the   labour  market   during   the   initial   phase   of   their   stay   in   Austria.   Despite   the   fact   that   the  educational  structure  of  CEE  migrants  was  and  is  still  comparably  high  and  markedly  higher  than  the  Austrian  average  (Hryniewicz  et  al.  1993),  particularly  women  from  CEE  are  often  locked  in  de-­‐qualifying   jobs  and   sectors,  with   low  wages,   lacking   the  opportunity  of  upward  mobility   in  the   labour   market,   often   accepting   downward  mobility   in   terms   of   status   and   qualifications

PhD  are  working  in  Austria  in  child  or  geriatric  care.    Almost  all  experts  interviewed  for  the  Austrian  country  report  agree  that  de-­‐qualification  is  still  an   issue   for   many   CEE  migrants   in   Austria.   University   graduates   are  more   disposed   to   work  below   their   skill   levels,  which   is   specifically   the   case   for   new  and  middle   aged  migrants   (Biffl  2011:  86  f.).  While  there  is  a  growing  awareness  of  this  problem  among  policymakers  and  the  labour  market,   there   seems   to   be   no   clear   solution.   Existing  wage   differentials,   the   fact   that  

proficiency,   and   poor   knowledge   about   the   system   are   the  main   causes   of   the   problem.   The  duration  of  stay  and  a  formal  employment  may  lead  towards  an  adequate  employment.  On  the  one  hand,  the  longer  migrants  are  present,  the  higher  is  the  likelihood  to  work  in  an  adequate  job.   On   the   other   hand,   the   longer   they   work   in   de-­‐qualified   positions   the   harder   it   gets   to  connect  to  jobs  complying  with  their  skills,  given  the  fast  changing  working  world  realities.    Like  in  Austria,  in  the  Netherlands,  unlike  the  former  guest  workers  of  the  1960s  and  1970s,  CEE  labour   migrants   are   generally   well   educated.   In   the   Netherlands,   the   data   available   on  educational   level   and   labour   market   participation   of   CEE   migrants   rely   on   survey   data.   For  example,  Weltevrede  et  al.  (2009:  61,  153)  found  relatively  high  educational  levels  among  CEE  migrants.   Based  on   their   study,  only  28  per   cent  of   their   CEE   respondents   had  a   low   level   of  education,   which   was   significantly   less   than   the   traditional   migrant   categories   in   the  Netherlands  (such  as  the  former  guest  workers  and  their  families  from  countries  like  Turkey  and  Morocco);  but  also  less  than  among  the  native  Dutch  population.  The  same  study  showed  that  20  per  cent  of  their  respondents  had  completed  higher  education.    However,   educational   levels   also   differed   among   different   migrant   groups.   The   survey  conducted   by   Gijsberts   and   Lubbers   (2013)   among   Polish   and   Bulgarians   in   the   Netherlands,  found   large  differences   in   the  educational   levels  of   the   two  CEE  migrant  groups   they  studied.  While  30  per  cent  of  the  Polish  residents  had  a  low  education,  the  number  was  64  per  cent  for  the  Bulgarians   in   their   sample.  On  a   similar   line,   compared   to   the  19  per   cent  of   their   Polish  respondents   who   had   an   academic   educational   level,   only   six   per   cent   of   the   Bulgarian  respondents  stated  such  a   level  of  education.  Engbersen  et  al.  (2011:  28),   in  their  study  about  Polish,  Romanian  and  Bulgarian  labour  migrants  in  the  Netherlands,  found  even  more  variation  in   the   educational   levels   of   CEE  migrants.  Only   a   small  minority  of   their   respondents   (13  per  cent)   were   classified   as   low   skilled   in   the   sense   that   they   have   finished   primary   or   lower  secondary   (up   to   the  age  of  15  years)  education.  However,  among   the  Bulgarian   respondents  there  were  more  low  skilled  individuals  (30  per  cent).  In  all  migrant  groups,  the  (large)  majority  of  all   respondents  have   finished  at   least  high   school;  and  15  per   cent  of   the  Polish  and  more  than  38  per  cent  of  the  Romanian  have  completed  higher  education.    The  findings  are  also  similar  on  the  level  of  urban  regions  of  Rotterdam  and  The  Hague,  where  Bulgarians  seem  to  have  a  lower  level  of  education  compared  to  their  counterparts  from  other

CEE   countries.   Two   main   conclusions   can   be   drawn   from   these   findings:   first,   there   are  significant  differences  in  the  educational  levels  of  different  groups  of  CEE  migrants,  and  second,  like   in  Austria,   the   relatively  high  educational   level   of  many  migrants   from  CEE   indicates   that  there  is  a  serious  issue.      In  Sweden,   there  are  data  problems  concerning   the   educational   level  of  CEE  migrants,  as   the  information  is  missing  for  a  larger  share  of  immigrants,  particularly  for  those  who  have  been  in  Sweden  for  a  short  time  (Statistics  Sweden  2013c;  Wadensjö  Eskil  and  Gerdes  2013).  Still,  like  in  Austria   and   the   Netherlands,   CEE  migrants   in   Sweden   are   comparatively   well   educated   than  those  born  in  Sweden,  usually  having  at  least  secondary  education;  partly  reflecting  the  fact  that  immigrants  from  these  countries  are  primarily  young  people;  younger  cohorts  are  on  average  better   educated,   and   many   have   a   university   education   (Wadensjö   Eskil   and   Gerdes   2013).  Within  this  context,  migrants  from  the  Baltic  States  show  a  higher  level  of  education  than  most  groups   in   the   Swedish   labour   market   (Wadensjö   Eskil   and   Gerdes   2013),   also   showing   a  similarity   to   the  Netherlands  where   there   are   variances   of   educational   level   among  different  migrant  groups.  While  half  or  more   than  half  of   the  migrants  born   in  one  of   the   top   five  CEE  countries  have  a  tertiary  education  or  higher,  the  number  for  the  Swedish  born  population  is  40  per  cent.  Lithuanians  display   the  highest  share  of  highly  educated   (tertiary  education  of  more  than   three   years);   as   much   as   47   per   cent   of   Lithuanian   women   have   tertiary   education,  compared  to  30  per  cent  of  the  Sweden  born  women  or  29  per  cent  of  female  Poles  (Statistics  Sweden  2013c).    In  urban  regions  of  Sweden,  the  share  of  CEE  inhabitants  with  tertiary  education  have  increased  in   all   groups   except   for   CEE   men   in   the   Stockholm   region,   where   the   share   have   remained  around  30  per  cent  since  1998.  Observing   the  educational   level   for  men  and  women   in  2012,  Lithuanian   women   stand   out   by   being   highly   educated.   Among   Romanian   and   Lithuanian  women  51  per  cent  have  tertiary  education,  followed  by  Hungarian  (49  per  cent),  Estonian  (40  per   cent),   and   Polish   (38   per   cent).   In   the  Gothenburg   region,   49   per   cent   of   the   Lithuanian  women   have   tertiary   education,   compared   to   30   per   cent   of   all   CEE   female   inhabitants.   The  Lithuanian  men  dispose  a  much  smaller  share  with  tertiary  education  with  figures  of  27  per  cent  in  Gothenburg   (more  or   less   to   the  same  extent  with  other  male  CEE   inhabitants)  and  24  per  cent  in  Stockholm  (the  lowest  among  the  top  five  CEE  countries).    The  country   report  on  Sweden  does  not  provide  much   information  on  de-­‐qualification  of  CEE  migrants   in   the   employment   market,   and   information   about   the   sector   of   employment   is  missing  for  quite  a  large  share  of  migrants.  However,  looking  at  the  distribution  in  occupations  sorted   by   skill   level,   it   is   seen   that   the   highest   shares   are   found   in   high   and  medium   skilled  occupations.  The  Gothenburg  region  had  the  highest  share  of  medium  skilled  workers   in  2011  (39  per  cent).  The  share  of  high  skilled  workers  remained  almost  unchanged,  and  the  share  of  low  skilled  workers   increased   just  a   little.   In  Stockholm,   the   share  of  high   skilled  workers  has  decreased   since  2001,  while   the   share  of  CEE  migrants  working   in   low   skilled  professions  has  increased  from  four  per  cent  to  nine  per  cent  between  2001  and  2011.  Thus,  given  the  higher  level  of  education  of  migrants,  these  increases  in  low  skilled  jobs  may  hint  at  a  de-­‐qualification.

In  Turkey,   the   only   data   available   on   the   education   of   the  migrants   is   the   residence   permits  granted  based  on  education.  However,  this  data  mostly  holds  information  on  student  migration,  rather   than   presenting   estimates   on   educational   level   of   migrants   and   their   labour   market  participation.   Based   on   the   interviews   conducted   by   the   research   team,   we   can   assert   that  many  of   the   CEE  migrants   coming   to   Turkey   are   better   qualified   than   the   average   in   Turkey.  Historically,   many   Bulgarian   migrants   that   have   arrived   in   Edirne   are   known   to   be   better  educated,   who   had   at   least   a   certain   type   of   vocational   training.   In   Istanbul,   like   in   Austria,  many  educated   female  migrants  are  known  to  be  holding   informal   jobs   in  private  households  regardless  of  their  qualifications.    Overall,   migration   from   CEE   to   Austria,   the   Netherlands,   Sweden,   and   Turkey   serves   as   an  interesting   empirical   case   study   to   understand   the   changes   and   continuities   of   migratory  systems   that   involve   this   large   region.   On   the   one   hand,   historical   trends   of   circular   and  seasonal  migration   seem  to  be  continuing  both   in   formal  and   informal   settings.  On   the  other  hand,  CEE  migration   is  becoming  more  of  an  urban  phenomenon  as  new  types  of  migrations;  such   as   student   migration   is   becoming   more   and   more   visible.   Also,   new   forms   of  transnationalism  are  emerging,  where  the  possible  effects  of  geographical  proximities,  such  as  in  the  cases  of  Austria  and  Turkey,  are  discovered   in  creation  of  more  transnational   lifestyles.  Next   phases   of   the   IMAGINATION   Project   will   elaborate   further   on   these   continuities   and  changes  along  a  comparative  analysis  of  different  urban  spaces.
