Sunday, May 18, 2014. Bilog Savings: Two Explanatory Models. Whether there is any impact at all and in what direction this impact manifests has been discussed mostly under two themes. The Comparative Theme establishes that bilogs – given their characteristics – save less than non-bilogs. Will excising these characteristics of “bilogness” then level out savings levels with non-bilogs? Stated differently: is optimum savings wholly contingent on legal status? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Irregular Migration Information: Conceptualizing a Transacted Migrant "Illegality"
http://www.irregularmigration.info/2015/01/conceptualizing-transacted-migrant.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Conceptualizing a Transacted Migrant "Illegality". The first way to think (or to conceptualize) about migrant “illegality” is that it is transacted. By transacted I mean that “illegality” represents some form of “currency” or “value” which a vested party uses or employs, at any given point in time and within any given set of defaults, as leverage towards the achievement of some advantage. As a virtual snapshot of a crystallized response given the imperatives and nuances of the...

http://www.irregularmigration.info/2015/01/how-does-one-conceptualize-migrant.html
Thursday, January 29, 2015. A Morphogenetic Migrant "Illegality". A conceptualization of migrant “illegality” in Japan that 1) considers the dynamics of its three vested actors; 2) is informed by the specific historical context of the last century; 3) juxtaposes the roles and identities that are inextricably linked to migrants’ agency will provide a robust explanation to the three paradoxes. Migrant “illegality” can be conceptualized in the following formulation: its value is transacted. An Illustrated S...

Irregular Migration Information: Conceptualizing an Accretive Migrant "Illegality"
http://www.irregularmigration.info/2015/01/conceptualizing-accretive-migrant.html
Friday, January 16, 2015. Conceptualizing an Accretive Migrant "Illegality". The second way to think (conceptualize) about migrant “illegality” is that it is accretive. By “accretive” I mean that at any given point in time the specific and current nature of the “Illegality” that is transacted by its vested interests is at once initialized from its previous forms but not explained by them. This we saw through our interrogation of the concept of the unskilled. To summarize this second section, the view tha...

Friday, January 2, 2015. Three Compelling Paradoxes of Migrant "Illegality". What is so compelling about migrant “illegality” that it has warranted this dissertation? At its core, migrant “illegality” is a strategy aimed at preserving the status quo. The “status quo” we are referring to here is the desired quality of life (economic well-being, shared beliefs, etc) of nationals of a host state. And job availability ( recall the discussion on labor protectionism. Which defines the limits on duration and pr...
