Proliferation of Legal Statusesand Migration Channels
• EU nationals • Students• Work permit holders • Asylum-
seekers• Sector worker schemes • Refugees• Highly Skilled • Leave to Remain• Spouses and family • Right to Settle• Spätaussiedler • Undocumented
II. Migration categories / channels
9
Differing Migration Channel & Legal Status
…even within same country of origin group
e.g. Somalis in UK citizens refugees
exceptional leave to remain
undocumented migrants
refugee status granted in other EU country
asylum-seekers
10
Origins & Legal Categories impact upon characteristics of migrant
populations by:
-- gender -- age-- education -- employment -- duration / temporality -- family /
single-- locality / mobility -- class-- modes of transnationalism
11
Global Trends
•International Organization for Migration UN Population Division note ongoing diversification of migrants’ countries of origin & channels of migration
•Global Commission on International Migration points to continuing – if not increasing – flows and forms of mobility
12
Some implications
• No common process of integration; therefore false to presume ‘one size fits all’ integration policy– ‘diversity-in-integration’ policy, yes… but
diversity is not just a set of big, similar-condition groups
• Social, political and economic success will be determined by how well societies adapt themselves to increasing complexity (not how they fight it)
