This session brings together three papers that describe migration and mobility in labour markets through space and position. The first and second paper examine the subjective experiences of workers. Zani’s research examines the social and emotional lives that Chinese migrants in Taiwan create together online. Campos Bicudo examines the subjective experiences of employers, immigrant prospective employees, and hired immigrants in a socially embedded labour institution in São Paulo that promotes Decent Work, called Missão Paz. The third paper, by Silva and Martins, examines the social forces pushing youth into peripheral Brazilian universities and the labor market, but rather than focusing on these students’ subjective experiences, it uses multiple correspondence analysis (ACM) to infer the social resources and economic, symbolic, moral, and political dilemmas that shape their mobility trajectories.
