Tittel

Migration for welfare: nurses within three regimes of immigration and integration into the Norwegian welfare state (WELLMIG)

Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag

Immigration and welfare are closely linked in more ways than one. While immigrants do make use of welfare services, they also contribute to the organization and staffing of such services. The Norwegian healthcare sector is increasingly dependent on migrant labour. In this project, we look at how foreign nurses' expertise and labour contribute to the Norwegian welfare state, as well as studying their use of welfare services in a broad sense. We have chosen to compare the ways into Norwegian society for nurses and their families from Sweden, Poland and the Philippines, respectively. These groups represent not only three different nationalities, but also three different types of countries in relation to Norway: Nordic countries (Sweden), EU countries (Poland) and countries outside of Europe (the Philippines). Differences in rules, practices and expectations mean that these three groups have very different opportunities and experiences. The comparison allows us to gain general knowledge about foreign nurses? pathways into Norwegian society, as well as to describe more specifically what applies to each single nationality and to nurses from the Nordic countries, from the EU, and from countries outside Europe.

Vitenskapelig sammendrag

WELLMIG brings together the perspectives that migrants not only depend on, but also make significant contributions to the welfare state.

On the one hand, nurses - male and female - with education from their countries of origin contribute directly to the institutions of a Norwegian welfare state in need of hands to take care of an aging population. On the other hand, they also gain rights of access to benefits and welfare provisions. The combination of these two aspects brings to centre stage some of the dilemmas that arise when the welfare state encounters the globalisation of labour.

We propose to study the different pathways of Polish, Swedish and Filipino nurses into the Norwegian labour market and society, examining the impact of mobility regimes on migrants' lives. Comparing Scandinavian, EU, and non-EU migrants, we will explore how and when migration, gender, race and ethnicity matter, and bring together regimes of immigration and integration in a mutually informative way. The comparison offers the opportunity to examine the impact of these regimes on migrants' integration into work and society in Norway. The project also expands the concept of work-life balance across the life course and takes into account transnational lives. We plan for consistency and comparison across different fieldwork sites. Our methodology comprises mixed methods and multi-sited fieldwork, including fieldwork in sending states.

While the issue of nurse migration is highly policy relevant, it raises theoretical questions of central concern to the social sciences, regarding the mutual relations between individuals and structures, between the transnational and the national, and between dimensions of power, identity, equality and difference. Applying an intersectional perspective on gender, migrancy and class, we will study how immigration and integration policies are shaped and interplay, and how they affect migrants' choices and experiences.
