False self‐employment: the case of Ukrainian migrants in London's construction sector
通过乌克兰企业主的定性叙述,揭示移民如何在英国从事虚假自雇,挑战合法与非法的二元划分,展示移民将非法身份视为获得合法身份前的过渡阶段。
Abstract This article, presenting qualitative accounts of Ukrainian business owners, highlights how migrants engage in false self‐employment in the UK. Their experiences problematise notions of legality and binary depictions of migrant workers as ‘victims or villains’, demonstrating that migrants see their illegal status as a transient stage before gaining legal status.
