Abstract
This chapter focuses on matters of work, class exploitation, and socio-economic upward mobility. In the first part, it illustrates the centrality of work and mobility in the process of migrants’ orientation, settlement, and economic success. In the second part, the chapter highlights the relationship between class exploitation and the development of self-employment strategies, especially around small ethnic businesses. In the third part, it emphasises the essential role that Italian migrant women’s work and agency have played in making migration a viable strategy: in building the family and community resilience; in contributing to the Australian economy; and in promoting the rights of migrant women against a backdrop of prejudice and sexism.
