Abstract

This chapter considers the effect of migration border regimes in exacerbating the personal, social and economic precarity of migrants. Asylum seekers remain in extended conditions of precarity due to delays in status determination, as well as the fact that even refugee status may not offer substantial protection. Migrant workers are also deprived of protection through lack of enforcement of labour legislation and minimum standards, and exclusion from membership of trade unions. Where migrants have been able to organise, there is potential to partially mitigate the effects of precarity and to work against its structural causes.
