文摘

A focus on temporalities can clarify how precarious working conditions are produced among migrant labour. We study Chinese migrant workers in the Swedish restaurant industry. Precariousness in this sector is linked to new liberal migration policies. Acceptance of precarious work-time arrangements may be an intentional practice. Time-requirements for permanent residence influence migrant strategies.
