abstract: 'The concept of citizenship, originally coined by Marshall, and
|
|
|
|
synonymous with social rights and equality, is pivotal in understanding
|
|
|
|
and overcoming the social injustices that many migrants experience.
|
|
|
|
Marshall''s notion of social rights, however, does not elaborate on
|
|
|
|
economic rights. Feminist authors argue that women''s equal access to
|
|
|
|
sources of income outside family relations is key to their citizenship.
|
|
|
|
Access to spaces of paid work is a significant aspect of migrant women''s
|
|
|
|
citizenship because their residence status and naturalization is often
|
|
|
|
contingent on their employment. The author thus argues that economic
|
|
|
|
rights should be central to debates on migration and citizenship. The
|
|
|
|
proposed term `economic citizenship'' is used to examine experiences and
|
|
|
|
strategies of fifty-seven skilled migrant women from Latin America, the
|
|
|
|
Middle East, and South East Europe when trying to access positions in
|
|
|
|
the Swiss labour market corresponding to their professional
|
|
|
|
qualifications. The feminist and postcolonial perspectives of
|
|
|
|
intersectionality'' and participatory research are used to understand how
|
|
|
|
and why inequalities in the labour market occur. It is found that
|
|
|
|
traditional ideas about gender roles, discourses about ethnic
|
|
|
|
difference, and discriminatory migration policies intersect to create
|
|
|
|
boundaries for skilled migrant women in accessing upper segments of the
|
|
|
|
Swiss labour market. Migration, therefore, does not always imply
|
|
|
|
empowerment and emancipation, but also generates new forms of social
|
|
|
|
inequality.'
