Contesting Migrant Precarity in the Global South? Informal Labor Markets, High-Risk Coping Strategies, and Low-Income Filipino Migrants in the United Arab Emirates
Malit Jr., Froilan; Alexander, Kristian Patrick (2025)
Despite extensive host state labor reforms, scholars contend that temporary labor migrants are systematically remain vulnerable to economic precarity under the Gulf states’ kafala sponsorship system. Using the case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), this article posits that, despite legal and financial sanctions, low-income migrants navigate their transnational economic precarity status by strategically engaging with host country informal labor markets through three high-risk coping strategies: accumulating debt, subleasing and enterprising. Ultimately, the study highlights low-income migrants navigate and co-produce precarity while simultaneously weaponizing informal labor markets as a (marginal yet) central "site" of everyday contestation within restrictive migration system in the Global South.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND DRIVING MECHANISM OF GREEN DEVELOPMENT IN ZHEJIANG PROVINCE BASED ON PANEL DATA OF 11 CITIES
Wang, Yali (2025-05-05)
This thesis constructs a green development evaluation index system and examines spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of green development across 11 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province from 2008 to 2022. Methodologies include the entropy method, global Moran index, panel data regression, geographically weighted regression, and Theil index. Findings reveal: (1) significant green development disparities between Hangzhou and other cities, with slower progression of light and clean industries elsewhere; (2) polarization between Hangzhou as the northwestern core and Ningbo as the eastern coastal core, each radiating influence to neighboring cities; (3) increasing influence of economic development, industrial structure, and science and technology on green development, with decreasing influence of foreign investment and government intervention; (4) Theil index analysis shows distinct fluctuation patterns between intra-regional and inter-regional differences, with North Zhejiang consistently demonstrating higher index values than South and Middle Zhejiang throughout the study period.
