Feminist foreign policy and global (health) care work migration: Addressing the invisibility of colonial gaps in feminist policy making

ABSTRACT The state-sponsored recruitment of migrant healthcare workers from the global South into the global North is a contemporary practice that requires critical engagement. Germany, like many other like-minded countries, has developed its own recruitment program Triple Win which aims to sustainably and ethically secure its national health care system through the use of foreign labor. Absent from Triple Win is an awareness of the ongoing colonial power relations that reproduce the program as a practice in neocolonial care extractivism. This lack of awareness is set against the country’s promotion of a feminist foreign and development policy, which seeks to transform international politics through a gender centred approach. Locating Triple Win within the context of feminist foreign policy we analyse how Germany’s feminist foreign and development policy makes visible, addresses and changes the colonial power relations that sustain care work migration programs. In doing so, we seek to build on existing studies of care work migration as a gendered and racial phenomenon. To do this we adopt a postcolonial feminist approach that is grounded in an ethics of care in order to remap the local and the global through a critical analysis of care work migration as a neocolonial development practice.

Employment Law Industrial Revolution Perspective 4.0

This article aims to find solutions due to educated unemployment in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The problem of the high level of labor with the availability of inadequate job vacancies further adds to the problems in the employment sector. Data from the Central Statistics Agency shows that the unemployment rate is quite high at the high school and university level compared to the diploma level. On the other hand, employers consider that they find it difficult to find potential workers who fit the desired criteria. With the regulation on the use of foreign labor is one of the things that can help in overcoming the needs of Labor. However, the existence of regulations on foreign labor must be examined further. Don't let the existence of these regulations actually close the opportunity for Indonesian workers to get a job in Indonesia. It is necessary to find a solution to solve the problem in the field of employment. Any party can help reduce the unemployment rate in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The government has a central role in reducing educated unemployment. The government can evaluate employment legislation to protect the workforce and respond to the Industrial Revolution era 4.0. In addition, the government can review the curriculum at every level of education so that graduates have the soft skills and hard skills needed in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Each educational unit has a special focus in preparing its graduates in the era of the Industrial Revolution by adding practical learning hours. In addition, graduates must have innovative thinking in creating new jobs in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

Institutional Features Of The Russian Market Of Foreign Labour (In The Context Of Modern Challenges)

One of the consequences of the covid-19 pandemic was the contraction of the labor markets in developed host countries, and the sanctions pressure of the EU countries on Russia, in retaliation for her policy in Ukraine, radically changed the structure of the Russian labor market. The paper proposes a system for analyzing the signs and conditions that determine the institutional features of the use of foreign labor within the national labor market of Russia and developed European countries. The estimates made it possible to state a high frequency of competitive intersections of national personnel and migrants in the Russian labor market, which, together with preferences for cheap labor, is a hindrance to the innovative development of the economy. The development of a methodology for assessing the boundaries of the market of foreign labor will allow to make adjustments to the migration policy and technological development in Russia

Analysis of the Content of Foreign Labor use Regulations Against Indonesia’s Labor Protections.

Globalization moves people indefinitely and includes working in other countries, and accepting foreign workers because it wants the free movement of labor (pree personal movement) over the territorial boundaries of the country. The research is aimed at reviewing and analyzing the content of foreign labor use regulations in Indonesia and whether the content of foreign labor regulations has protected Indonesian workers. The research method used in this study is normative juridical with a statute approach, comparative approach, history approach. The results showed that the Development of Foreign Workers (TKA) Usage Arrangements in Indonesia since Indonesia became independent is regulated in the form of a separate law namely Law No. 3 of 1958 on the Placement of Foreign Workers and subsequently, the Regulation of foreign workers is included in several employment laws, and finally in CHAPTER VI Article 42-49 law No. 13 of 2003 on Employment. The content of the arrangement of the use of foreign labor has not fully provided protection and legal certainty, the revocation of the mandatory Indonesian language requirements for foreign workers is a form of discrimination, as well as the need for strict requirements and qualifications for foreign workers entering Indonesia are skilled, making it possible for the transfer of expertise and technology, supporting economic development, and encouraging the improvement of the competence of the Indonesian workforce.

Russian Legislation Regulating the Use of Foreign Labor

Russian Legislation Regulating the Use of Foreign Labor

КИТАЙСКИЙ ФАКТОР В РАЗВИТИИ СЕЛЬСКОГО ХОЗЯЙСТВА ПРИГРАНИЧНОГО РЕГИОНА ДАЛЬНЕГО ВОСТОКА РОССИИ: ИТОГИ 2000-2020 ГГ.

Attracting foreign capital entails the use of foreign labor. External labor resources have been one of the factors in the development of agriculture in the Far Eastern regions over the past 20 years. Attraction of foreign labor and investment in the agriculture of the regions has ambiguous consequences for the development of these regions. The current situation in the spring of 2020, associated with the closure of the borders of the Russian Federation, revealed the role of the Chinese factor for the regions of the Russian Far East. The peculiarities of attracting Chinese workers to the agriculture of the Russian regions are well traced in the example of the Jewish Autonomous Region, which is located on the border with Heilongjiang Province (PRC). The peculiarities of the region's geographical location influenced the formation of stable Russian-Chinese relations in agriculture. The paper examines the processes of Russian-Chinese interaction in agriculture on the example of the Jewish Autonomous Region. The change in the role of Chinese citizens in the development of agriculture and rural areas of the border region of the Russian Far East is shown. Two periods of Russian-Chinese interaction in agriculture of the Jewish Autonomous Region are highlighted and characterized. The first period (early 2000s - late 2000s) is characterized by a decrease in the area of arable land in the region, attracting cheaper Chinese migrants by local and Chinese agricultural producers. The second period of 2010-2020, this time, a system of lending to local farmers by Chinese partners for the future harvest, an increase in the area of arable land, an increase in the yuan exchange rate led to a higher level of wages of Chinese workers. Chinese farmers are hiring local people. It is concluded that the peculiarity of the development of agriculture with the participation of the Chinese factor in the Russian Far East is that the Chinese were present and are present as investors, producers, workers, and farmers. In addition, most of the soybeans produced in the region are exported to China.

Formation and implementation of the strategy of food import substitution in ensuring sustainable development of the border region (on the materials of the Amur region)

The article substantiates the importance and importance of the role of the implementation of the strategy of import substitution in ensuring the food security of the border region and its sustainable development. The hypothesis of the study is that the implementation of the import substitution strategy, which involves reducing food imports and organizing their production within the region, can be achieved through more efficient use of the potential of the border position. On the example of the Amur region, the article analyzes the labor supply for increasing agricultural production and calculates the need for labor resources for the future. It was justified the need for widespread use of foreign labor. The calculations can be used by regional authorities in the formation and implementation of import substitution strategies, as well as in determining the size of quotas for attracting foreign labor.

Kepastian Hukum Pengaturan Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing di Indonesia

The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that every citizen has the right to work and a decent life. Consequently, citizens have the right to receive rewards and fair treatment in employment relations and the state has a constitutional responsibility to guarantee the fulfillment of the right to work of migrant workers and foreign workers to create protection and legal certainty between them. Meanwhile, the national labor law and government regulations regulate foreign workers including only professional workers. In fact, foreign workers working in Indonesia are not only professional workers but also unskilled laborers. This is due to the enactment of changes to the regulation of the use of foreign labor which frees and tightens foreign workers who work in Indonesia.

THE PROBLEM OF THE SUPERVISION OF IMMIGRATION STAY LICENSES ON ILLEGAL FOREIGN LABOR WORKING IN FOREIGN CAPITAL INVESTMENT COMPANIES IN INDONESIA


 
 Abuse of Residence Permits by foreigners with the mode of using tourist visit visas often occurs, generally used in the context of working as a Foreign Worker in a Foreign Investment Company in Indonesia. This has led to a reduction in employment opportunities for Indonesian Migrant Workers in the country and a reduction in State income in terms of the use of Foreign Workers. Based on the facts in the field, the problem of misuse of Tourism Visit Stay Permits generally comes from the policy of Free Visa for Tourist Visits, this is a problem that over time is increasingly difficult to resolve, even more difficult to detect by law enforcement officials. The involvement of Indonesia in various international agreements that accommodate the ease of investment and the use of foreign labor, has made Indonesia increasingly fulfilled by investors and foreign workers. The problem of the use of foreign workers needs to be taken seriously by the government, especially in monitoring its activities while in Indonesia, so that the use of foreign labor can be beneficial for Indonesia. Giving ease of Visa Free in order to increase foreign exchange in tourism to foreigners who will enter Indonesia, of course, must be accompanied by supervision of their residence permit as a consequence of the ease of granting the Visa Free. In order for the practice of using foreign workers illegally by foreign investment companies, it can be minimized as early as possible
 
 

Гармонизация межнациональных отношений в стратегии государственной национальной политики Российской Федерации: проблемы и противоречия

The problems of interethnic relations in the Russian Federation, causes and possible solutions and preventing conflicts are discussed. It is proved that in the sphere of international relations Russian legislation does not fully take into account the needs of society by strengthening civil unity, by reducing interethnic tensions. The main directions of this problem and possible ways to resolve them are identified; an analysis of the state strategy is carried out. Some recommendations on improvement of migrants and their children´s adaptation period are made. Particular attention is paid to the adaptation and integration of migrants into Russian society, as well as gaps in the labor legislation affecting the use of foreign labor, protection of the rights of foreign workers, responsibilities and obligations for employers.

Recruiting abroad: an empirical analysis

Purpose– In many European countries labor markets became more and more demand oriented. However, the average use of recruiting abroad is still low. From a firm perspective, recruiting abroad comes at substantial costs and risks. The purpose of this paper is to identify mechanisms leading to the use of recruiting from abroad.Design/methodology/approach– Effects are retrieved from simple OLS regressions as well as from demand-sided instrumental variable specifications applied to a large German establishment-level dataset.Findings– The share of foreign workers in the contemporary work force enhances recruiting abroad, which is in line with theoretical considerations that foreigners indicate of successful international assignments. The results also indicate that internationally operating businesses more likely recruit from abroad. Furthermore, the author finds that market forces are relevant for the strategy to recruit abroad. Both, the regional scarcity of labor and a high demand for skilled labor affect the employer’s decision to recruit abroad.Social implications– The results indicate that internationally oriented businesses more likely recruit abroad. Furthermore, labor market mechanisms, such as scarcities, are functional and foster the use of foreign labor markets.Originality/value– This study adds to the literature by providing first empirical evidence on recruiting abroad, which is the use of foreign labor markets.

Multilingual crews on Norwegian fishing vessels: Implications for communication and safety on board

In the last few decades, use of foreign labor in the Norwegian fishing fleet has increased. As fishing is a high-risk occupation, this article investigates a prevalent question regarding how the increased share of foreigners affects communication and safety on Norwegian fishing vessels. The article shows that multilingual crews and varying language proficiencies are not perceived by the fisheries actors themselves as risk factors in terms of safety in everyday operations. Fishing experience, hybrid language and body language compensate for language challenges and contribute to fishers' feeling of safety.

Logging across Borders and Cultures: An Example in Northern Maine

Persistent concerns about the continued use of foreign labor and the viability of northern Maine's logging industry prompted further research on the cross-cultural logging workforce found in Maine's counties that border the province of Quebec. Two distinct populations of woods workers are employed in these border counties: Maine residents and Quebec residents. This study examined sociodemographic attributes, sense of occupational choice and prestige, and familial attachment held by these two populations of loggers, as well as barriers to business expansion felt by logging entrepreneurs. Significant differences in age, education, logging experience, attitudes toward logging, and perceptions of public image were found between Maine and Quebecois loggers. Additionally, despite an intergenerational labor supply that historically characterizes the logging industry, more than 50 percent of loggers from both countries would not encourage their children to enter the logging profession. These factors may not only pose challenges for logging business stability and labor recruitment efforts in this region but also impact the economic vitality of the forest products industry as a whole. Furthermore, the findings from this research may be of interest and pertinent to those engaged in forest products industries within other cross-border regions.

The social-demographic situation and labor migration: the Far Eastern vector

The labor migration and use of foreign labor in the region are examined.

Forced Laborers in the Third Reich: An Overview

In 1944, more than eight million foreign forced laborers were employed in the German war economy inside the Reich. This essay investigates the origins, character, and effects of the employment of foreigners on the German war economy. The principle characteristic of this employment of foreigners was the contradiction between the economic interest in exploiting as many foreigners as possible and the ideological principles of National Socialism, which sought to protect the Volk from mixing with “foreign blood.” From this contradiction there developed a rigidly hierarchical racist system for the treatment of forced laborers. Without the use of foreign labor, the agricultural and industrial production of Germany would have collapsed in 1942 at the latest. The German war economy therefore had no choice but to depend on the employment of millions of forced laborers. The second part of this essay traces the history of the refusal to offer compensation to the former forced laborers from 1945 to 1999. Two factors are most important in explaining this refusal. First, the German government tried to represent forced labor as an atypical Nazi injustice and thus to avoid compensation. Second, the West, above all the United States, opposed allowing any payments to the states of the eastern bloc during the Cold War. With the reunification of Germany and the Two-Plus-Four Accord, these efforts and interests collapsed.

Foreign Workers in Israel: History and Theory

"Beginning in 1993, Israel began importing large numbers of foreign workers, replacing its traditional Palestinian labor force. This article presents a descriptive history and theoretical analysis of the migration, placing it in the context of Israel's reliance on noncitizen labor from the occupied territories. Dual labor market theory is particularly helpful in analyzing labor migration to Israel, but only by also analyzing the determinants of state policy can we understand how these recent flows began. The Israeli case thus suggests a cumulative model of the initiation of labor migration flows: structural factors create a predisposition toward use of foreign labor, and political factors determine whether and how that predisposition will be actualized."

Emigration dynamics in the Arab region. IOM / UNFPA workshop, 7-8 October 1996, Geneva, Switzerland.

This paper describes the four research monographs on emigration that were presented at the December 1995 Regional Workshop in the Arab Region. The workshop was an exchange of views and discussion of policy implications of emigration. Monographs were presented by Dr. Mayar Farrag on emigration in Egypt, Professor Nadji Safir on migration in the Maghreb, Dr. Setenay Shami on emigration dynamics in Jordan, and Dr. Lynn Evans on behalf of Dr. Ivy Papps on migration in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Dr. Farrag identified three periods of migration. During the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, migrants were officially encouraged by Egypt to fill education positions. During the 1970s, many migrants left for the oil-producing countries on a temporary basis. Since the mid-1980s, the influences on Egyptian migration have been the economic recession and oil prices in the Gulf states, the completion of infrastructure projects in most Gulf states, and the replacement of foreign labor with nationals. Dr. Farrag recommended improving the migrants' skills in English and technology in order to maintain a dominant flow of temporary migrants to the Gulf region. Professor Safir reported that persons from the Maghreb region (Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco) migrated to France before independence and subsequently to West Germany and the Benelux countries. Algeria had the highest migration potential, and Morocco had the highest migration. Morocco had established networks in destination countries, high population growth rates, and high unemployment. Maghreb countries are receiving migrants from the south. Professor Safir recommended regional integration. Dr. Shami separated step migration from stepwise migration, which complicates push-pull theories. Dr. Papps argued that use of foreign labor may not be the best option for development, and that sending countries should be more aware of skill needs in GCC countries.

Germany's Anti‐Foreigner Crisis: State Disunity and Collective ‘Forgetting’

Abstract: Employment of foreign labor in Germany is generally perceived as a recent phenomenon; Germany's pre‐war experiences with foreign labor do not figure prominently in public discussion. This article analyzes the active omission of this aspect of the past as an important feature of German social memory. Drawing largely on Ulrich Herbert's research, the forgotten’ history of pre‐ and post‐war experiences with foreign labor is summarized. This provides a perspective on the significant parallels between conflicts today and those of prior periods and exposes a fundamental conflict within the state regarding the use of foreign labor. Anti‐foreigner violence is reinterpreted as representing a failure of the state to maintain ideological unity without periodically responding to powerful and enduring anti‐foreigner pressure.
