    Assessing labour migration policies from the incorporation perspective : the case of Romania
    (2024) Florian, Bogdan; Ion, Oana Andreea; Mocanu, Mircea
    Migrants play an important role in shaping today’s EU, both in terms of the labour market, and society as a whole. The analyses of the migration policies, including the labour sector, are generally focused on the control and, respectively, on the security dimension, while a third branch includes the researches on the broader term of incorporation of migrants into the fabric of the host societies. This paper starts from the questions “why does the EU labour market need migrants?” and “what role can migrants play in community development?”, and it argues that using an incorporation approach in public policies concerning migrants could provide a theoretical and actional solution to overcome challenges posed by various other policy and political positions aimed against migrants. An assessment of labour-connected incorporation policies and practices is presented as a study case, using evidence-based policies and practices from Romania. The main findings of the paper indicate that there is a huge gap between stated aims of written strategies, actions being implemented and the perception of intended target groups. The article argues that this deviation is due, at least in the case of Romania, to a weak administrative capacity to manage migrant flows and the challenges they bring to traditional and rigid legal and administrative systems. The gap is also due to poor operationalisation of the concept of incorporation in policy practice, with contradictory simultaneously policy narratives of adaptation, assimilation, inclusion, or integration, and without a clear goal that should shape a national labour migration policy.

    Migration narratives : from integration to incorporation
    (Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Faculty of Economics and Public Administration, 2023) Ion, Oana Andreea
    This article delimitates from the narratives depicting migration – especially under its irregular form – and migrants as a „problem” to be solved; instead, it focuses on the need to integrate migrants and on assessing their input in the overall development of today’s Union, conceived both as an impressive labour market and as a supranational society. It is emphasized the analytical confusion caused by the multitude of terms and positions regarding the ideal- type relations imagined in the literature between migrants and host societies, and it proposes surmounting the paradigmatic incommensurability by gathering these various approaches under the umbrella of the concept of incorporation that will prove useful for providing a unitary framework for conducting fruitful debates and analysis about how to better integrate migrants and strengthen their role in their new communities.
