abstract: 'PurposeThis study examines Covid-19-related policies as a showcase for
priorities in migration governance, the role of the state and employers''
associations, as well as gaps in social security and social
protection.Design/methodology/approachThis paper looks at how
immigration interacts with the labour market in the Czech Republic
through the prism of the varieties of capitalism framework and its
relation to the concepts of labour market segmentation and
flexibility.FindingsThe findings show that pandemic-related measures
focused on continuously adjusting a legislative framework granting
access to third-country workers. However, protective measures that would
guarantee migrant workers and their families access to social rights,
such as healthcare, were lacking. In this context, several lines of
segmentation are observed: between migrant workers in standard
employment and those in non-standard employment, when looking at their
access to healthcare; between migrants hired directly by employers and
those working through temporary agencies in terms of their wages,
stability and protection; and, at a sectoral level, between the skilled
workforce and migrants that are pushed to low-qualified poorly paid, and
routinised jobs.Originality/valueThis paper expands the existing
literature on the preferences and influence of governments, employers
and trade unions regarding the demand for foreign labour in varieties of
capitalism by adding the perspective of a Central European economic
model. At the same time, its findings contribute to the understanding
that labour market inequalities are not fostered on the supply side of
migrant labour, through exogenous societal or cultural characteristics
specific to countries of origin, but rather through institutionalised
measures, practices and policies in countries of destination.'
