“…As other studies show, this is prevalent among women with poor levels of social support and who experience loneliness (Koken, 2012; Sallmann, 2010; Barry et al , 2009; Sanders, 2005a; Scambler, 2007). And finally, this study’s findings are consistent with previous research in terms of respondents’ experiences of family displacement and migration (Sassen, 2013; Berry, 2009).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the barriers preventing women in prostitution from accessing co-ordinated health services in the Republic of Ireland. By examining the experiences of migrant women engaged in prostitution, the research contributes to knowledge pertaining to the psychosocial experiences of female sex workers’ access to healthcare. Design/methodology/approach The study interviewed migrant women across Ireland, using a biographical narrative approach and an adapted voice-centred relational model of analysis to determine the necessity for a health promotion strategy for this demographic. Findings The findings indicate migrant women work primarily indoors, hold precarious legal status and are in Ireland due to processes of globalisation, migration and economic necessity. The women discussed their entry into prostitution and their experiences within prostitution in the context of their psychosocial experiences. Research limitations/implications While the findings are from a small qualitative sample confined to the Republic of Ireland, it is the first study to prioritise migrant sex workers’ psychosocial experiences in Ireland. Practical implications The research concludes education and service development that respects the various social determinants impacting women in prostitution is missing but remains necessary in Ireland. It finds a gendered reform of policies using an ecological framework for health that can address issues of poverty, migration and the global trends of the sex industry. Social implications This means a national review of current services in health, social work and community development fields is timely. Originality/value This paper gives insight into the lives of migrant women involved in the sex industry and can make an important contribution to future research directions and practice in Irish and European prostitution contexts.

“…Holvino (2010) refers to ways in which race, class and gender relations are built into organizational structures and processes, which are normalized to produce and reproduce inequality and privilege. In this article we expand upon the argument of a circumscribed attention to globalization in the international management (IM) literature on expatriation (Berry, 2009), proposing that race, class and gender are built into the MNCs' organizational structures and the processes of globalization and that they work to the detriment of poor women of colour around the world. We apply the notion of class processes and practices to show how class is part of the processes of globalization, migration and the inequalities between women and men and people of different races, ethnicities and economic and social means who leave their home countries to work; and how class fosters the invisibility of these inequalities.…”

‘Expatriates’: Gender, Race and Class Distinctions in International Management

In the international management (IM) literature, 'expatriate' is used as a verb in reference to the transnational movement of employees by multinational corporations (MNCs) and as a noun in reference to the people who are so moved across borders to work. IM's resulting expatriate analyses apply only to a specific minority of relatively privileged people. However, as is clear in other bodies of literature, many others ('migrants') in less privileged class positions move themselves across national boundaries for work. In this majority are often women and men -people of diverse races, ethnicities, economic and social means -who have less education and who work in lower level jobs, also often in or for MNCs. Their invisibility in the IM literature sustains and reinforces gender, race and class-based disparities in globalization processes and work to the detriment of poor women of colour around the world. We call for gendering change that would make visible the invisible in IM scholarship related to expatriation.

“…W międzynarodowych periodykach, które traktują o różnych aspektach migracji, pojęcie migranta odnosi się do osoby przemieszczającej się pomiędzy granicami państwowymi. Natomiast w literaturze z zakresu zarządzania międzynarodowego termin ekspatriant odnosi się głównie do przemieszczeń pracowników korporacji międzynarodowych, obejmuje specyficzną i uprzywilejowaną grupę (menedżerów, inżynierów, wysokiej klasy specjalistów) z pominięciem in-nych (migrantów), którzy także przemieszczają się pomiędzy granicami narodowymi w celach zawodowych (Berry, 2009).…”

Migracje międzynarodowe oraz ich konsekwencje stanowią bez wątpienia bardzo istotne wyzwanie o wymiarze globalnym. Zewnętrzne czynniki kontekstowe międzynarodowego zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi (MZZL), jakimi są globalna mobilność i migracje pracowników, wpływają na metodykę badań w zakresie terminologii. Dlatego celem artykułu jest określenie kryteriów definiowania pracowników międzynarodowych w odniesieniu do teorii prototypów. Prototyp to najpopularniejszy przedstawiciel danej kategorii, o wyrazistym "jądrze" i nieostrych brzegach na granicy między jedną kategorią a inną. Te ustalenia wzbogacają obszar teorioznawczy MZZL, a także zwiększają rzetelność prowadzonych badań nad różnymi typami pracowników międzynarodowych. Zaostrzone kryteria definicyjne pozwalają precyzyjniej określić badany podmiot i jego status w danym momencie i uzyskać pożądany zbiór danych w ujęciu strumieniowym i zasobowym, co stanowi o reprezentatywności próby badawczej, w szczególności w badaniach ilościowych.
