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.'
