abstract: 'EU labour migrants enjoy comprehensive social rights while migrating
within the block. However, research from various member states documents
the presence of EU migrants who lack access to welfare support despite
having lived and worked in these countries for years. This article
explores why some EU migrants are excluded from welfare support despite
a history of labour market participation in the host country. The
phenomenon is studied through the lens of precarity, focusing on the
nexus between precarious working conditions and migrants'' social rights.
Based on participant observation and interviews with Polish labour
migrants who struggled to access welfare benefits in Norway, the article
shows, how precarious working conditions, including unstable employment,
and work exploitation, such as wage theft, tax evasion and other
breaches of Norwegian labour laws, function as barriers to successful
benefit claims. Previous research has highlighted a divide in EU
citizenship between labour migrants, who enjoy comprehensive social
rights, and `economically inactive'' migrants, who have no or very
limited social rights. This article argues that the divide runs through
the working migrant population, protecting migrants in secure and stable
employment while failing those in precarious work.'
