Mobility and citizenship pathways of Vietnamese middling migrants in Australia: “Road to Mount OlymPR”

Many conflicts that arise in Indonesia such as loss of humanity, love and respect for NKRI, recognition of the culture by other nations, causing division between regions, countries and nations. Therefore, it becomes an important thing to cultivate learning national vision into the nation's next-generation, especially from an early age. Various character values ​​need to be applied to children, especially the character to love culture of the nation and country, which is grown through learning the cultivation of national vision. So, children know the origin of their birth and various cultures of their resident people. This study aims to determine the learning program for the cultivation of national vision in Indonesian children with permanent resident status (PR) at Little Stars Kindergarten, School of Indonesia (Singapore) Ltd. In addition, this study aims to see how the behavior of students after participating in the learning of national vision at Little Stars Kindergarten, School of Indonesia (Singapore) Ltd. The target of this study is Indonesian children with permanent resident (PR) status, aged 4-6 years at Little Stars Kindergarten, School of Indonesia (Singapore) Ltd. This study uses qualitative methods, with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation (triangulation). Permanent Resident is the legal status granted by a country so that it has the same position as a citizen. Almost all students at SIS Little Stars are permanent residents. The results of this study indicated that students with permanent residency (PR) status at Little Stars Kindergarten, Indonesia School (Singapore) Ltd, have diverse national perspectives. The national vision possessed by students includes: knowing the city or country of origin at birth, local languages, special foods, Indonesian national songs, some folk songs, and general knowledge about Indonesian culture. Students still have a national vision for Indonesian, even though they have long-lived and settled in Singapore. This is the output of the learning of national vision conducted by the teacher.

Transnationalism is generally acknowledged as a positive agentic force in the literature describing the transnational experiences of older migrants who stretch their lives between global North and global South. What has been less explored is the extent to which migration policies influence the lived experiences of older migrants travelling from global North to global South, particularly for first-generation migrants who could be viewed as ‘returning’ to their home country. Although the number of older Filipino migrants in Australia is increasing, existing research on older Filipino migrants in Australia has been rather limited. Through the examination of data collected from fieldwork and interviews, this research aims to bridge this gap by examining the lived experiences of older Filipino migrants who stretch their lives across Australia and the Philippines. This research finds that, instead of framing their transnational lives as an agentic response, older Filipino migrants in Australia frame their transnational existence in terms of ‘curtailed dreams’, resulting in an experience that is not widely explored in the existing literature. This research, therefore, calls for a more critical examination of transnational experiences of older migrants who live in a single social field between global North and global South.

The literature on ‘middling transnationals’ is growing, although studies on Asian middling migrants are still relatively lacking. Current understandings of middling migrants are also frequently fixed on migrants’ mid-level skills and their middle-class status. Drawing on interviews with Nepali migrants living in Melbourne, Australia and mainland Chinese migrants living in Singapore respectively, this article considers how their middling visa status and imaginaries interact with anxious desires. The article argues, first, that migrants from the Global South experience heightened anxious desires due to imaginaries oscillating between the Global North and South. Second, and relatedly, the article argues that migration regimes keep migrants compliant through managing their anxious desires. By detailing the experiences of different groups of Asian migrants in separate migration regimes, the article aims to highlight the heterogeneous experiences among migrants originating from the Global South, and the techniques used by different states to produce temporary and compliant migrants.

Human Capital and Workplace Integration: A Reflection of South African Migrants in Australia

Over the last ten years, temporary migration schemes in the horticultural sector have received increasing attention in the Global North. The often precarious conditions of such work have been recognised, however, little attention has been paid to horticultural workers with migration backgrounds who have gained permanent residency or citizenship in the host countries. Ethnographic fieldwork with Pacific farmworkers and their families with various migration statuses in Australia, including seasonal workers, irregular migrants, and permanent residents, revealed that precarious employment conditions in horticultural work impact Pacific people across and beyond different legal statuses, challenging the notion of a clear correlation between irregularity and precariousness. This includes the children of migrants with Australian citizenship who are often employed as casual farmworkers and find it difficult to secure any other work. We argue that their experiences are fundamentally related to their position as ‘racialised’ workers. This paper sheds light on this racialisation of farmwork and its implications for the experiences of Pacific people as residents and workers in regional Australia.

The gendered implications of migration and asylum regimes require further attention in an era of border militarization and increasingly hostile environments, especially across the Global North, a region in which many countries pride themselves on standing for gender equality, whereas they in fact perpetuate gendered forms of discrimination and violence against irregularized migrant women. This article examines the experiences in France of pregnant women and recent mothers from Global South countries and their encounters with the asylum and migration regimes and the healthcare sector. We argue that the administrative precarity and material destitution that contemporary asylum and migration policies enact need to be analyzed as racialized sexism because of their specifically gendered implications as well as their racist premises. This research stems from fieldwork carried out in France in 2020 and 2021 in the capital, as well as at the “air borders” and at the French–Italian border in the Alps.

This paper explores the citizenship choices of Chinese migrants in Australia who must evaluate the relative benefits of Australian versus Chinese legal citizenship. Given the insecurities inherent in non-citizen status in either country, many families decide some members will take Australian citizenship while others retain Chinese citizenship in combination with Australian permanent residency. Forming these split nationality households aims to optimise the benefits and limit risk across all jurisdictions, attempting to exert control over personal circumstances and manage feelings of fear and anxiety in the face of unpredictable national policies and broader geopolitical instability. The paper extends Bauböck's concept of citizenship constellations beyond a consideration of the individual as the unit of analysis to include a more complex network of family memberships. This expanded analysis of how webs of complementary and/or competing rights and obligations act on individuals within their family relations has application beyond these specific and situated cases and can improve our understanding of how migrants interpret the value of local, state, national and supranational memberships in various global contexts.

International migration among Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) from Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, is closely related to the lack of job opportunities, low labor wages, and low educational qualifications, resulting in the need to leave their hometowns to migrate to another countries that provide a decent life. This paper aims to analyze a phenomenon, namely the factors of IMW from Sumbawa Island practicing lifelong international migration in Malaysia. Using a quantitative method, the sample used was 189 key informants who were recorded using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection tool uses questionnaires as quantitative data and interviews as compilation data for reinforcement. Prerequisite test analysis shows that the data is normally distributed, then data analysis uses a multinomial logistic regression model. The first result obtained was the factor of marriage to a local citizen or foreigner who had Permanent Resident (PR) status. Second, the factor of having obtained full or temporary Malaysian citizenship status. The factors with the highest chance of influencing are the marriage factor in the destination country and PR status with the percentage of the influencing factor of the marriage factor in the destination country being 0.0602 times, the influencing factor of Permanent Resident Status is 0.0321 times, the chance of the factor education is 0.0263 times, and opportunities for security are 0.0126 times. The multinomial logistic regression model obtained is influenced by variable X1, namely: Marriage in the destination country, X2 is Permanent Resident Status, X3 is Education, and X4 is Security factor.

This study examined skilled health worker (SHW) migration governance in African countries and Australia, with an emphasis on areas of influence for achieving an equitable global health workforce distribution. We used a mixed-methods research design with African SHW migrants in Australia. An institutional and rights-based framing of governance guided thematic analysis of the interviews, which was mapped to survey findings from a Bayesian Exploratory Factor Analysis. The findings imply that Australian state actors enforce laws that attract SHW migrants and promote safe clinical practice, but do not adequately address their integration concerns or role in health system strengthening. Non-state actors in Australia make donations to African health institutions but rarely promote health workforce equity. African state actors respond to increased SHW migration trends by increasing health worker training and limiting migration, but they lack a comprehensive governance framework for involving citizens and engaging foreign governments. There is limited evidence of a shared community definition of SHW migration governance in many African countries. When stakeholders in both sending and receiving countries recognise the indivisibility of the rights at stake (for example, SHW rights as migrants and the right to health), support for an equity-focused SHW migration governance system may increase. Promoting these rights can result in policies that enhance health system strengthening in destination and source countries. Similarly, growing adoption of these rights in sending countries should help inspire a coordinated plan for strengthening health system and SHW migration governance.

Concepts like race, migration background, or ethnic group are more and more being investigated in health research. It should be noted that those concepts themselves are very heterogeneous. They are, for example, endowed with different rights (e.g., cosmopolitan migrants from the global north, refugees from the global south) (Ambrosini & van der Leun, 2015) or have to deal with racism or discrimination (Nazroo, 2003). A challenge and a recurrent difficulty in research on the health of migrants is the operationalization of studies due to the heterogeneity of the group. On the one hand, it is unclear which criteria—nationality, mother tongue, ethnicity of grandparents, race, place of birth, place of migration as well as migration regime—are used to determine “migrants,” which makes comparability of the studies difficult (Sheldon & Parker, 1992). On the other hand, the group of people with a history of migration is very heterogeneous with regard to other lines of difference, such as social milieu/class and gender, but also country of origin and reason and time of migration. This makes the health situation of the so-called migrants very different, and it cannot be described in a generalized way. Research shows that social integration and social support can play a big role in the health status of migrants. It can provide information to the healthcare system, provide emotional support, or simply make someone feel like they are not alone. Social networks also play a big role for people with a so-called migration background or with a so-called different ethnic background (Johnson et al., 2017). In this chapter, we explore the link between health, migration, and networks. In doing so, we will try to minimize the uncertainty of the heterogeneity of the group as much as possible.

Drawing on interviews with service providers and legal advocates in Canada, this article explores how bordering practices shape front-line service delivery with immigrant women seeking safety from domestic violence. Our research examines the implementation of ‘conditional permanent residence’ (conditional PR) between 2012 and 2017. Conditional PR applied to some newly sponsored spouses and partners who were required to cohabit with their sponsoring spouse/partner for two years following their arrival in Canada in order to retain their permanent resident status. We illustrate how conditional PR exacerbated the vulnerabilities already facing spousal immigrants by linking deportation to the failure to cohabit with their spouse. In particular, we examine the implementation of an ‘exception for abuse and neglect’, whereby victims of domestic violence could apply to remove the condition on their permanent resident status. We argue that when service providers mobilized their ‘ways of knowing’ about domestic violence to verify a sponsored spouse’s claims of abuse, they inadvertently took part in regulating ‘deserving’ versus deportable immigrants. This research develops a gendered analysis of deportability towards theorizing how bordering practices operate through the shadow state to regulate racialized immigrant women.
