Infos

This book examines the governance of international migration as experienced by healthcare professionals under labour migration programmes and policies such as the points-based system. The study takes a socio-legal approach to examine the migration of East African healthcare workers to the United Kingdom. It relies on interviews, legal and historical analysis and a literature study. Such analysis contributes to understanding why the policies, although appearing neutral in their design or implementation by requiring migrants to fulfil certain conditions, mean that migrant workers' rights such as freedom from discrimination or a right to decent work for all, are not prioritised by receiving states bent on maximising the benefits of labour migration. The chapters address migrant rights in context, experiences with racialisation upon migration and struggles to claim rights.
