项目摘要

In light of the shortage of care staff in the UK's privatised caresector and the challenge in meeting the needs of older people,the care sector - enabled by the state - regularly recruitsmigrant workforce through restrictive visa arrangements. Thisproject will address the question of how the British state -through the private care sector - produces and regulatesthese specific categories of migrants through the Health andCare Worker visa via a qualitative study of Zimbabwean careworkers and their families in the UK. Melding labour migrationstudies and studies of postcolonial governmentality, thisproject extends the focus on governmentality to theregulation of physical movements and access to the labourmarket of the formerly colonised within the territory of theformer coloniser. Through its focus on the UK Health and Care Worker visa, the study will explore how the visa system shapesthe manner in which Zimbabwean families interact withprivate care sector employers who play an integral part in theimmigration policing regime and act as border-guards whenchecking on the legality of employees. The focus on familiesrather than individuals in this study aims to explore the role ofwork visa regulations in terms of their creation andmanagement of migrant populations with distinct rights andrestrictions. By focusing on the family unit as a site ofregulation, the study brings a unique relational perspective inthe production of governed populations in postcolonialsocieties to the context of the Health and Care Worker visa.

鉴于英国私营护理机构的护理人员短缺，以及满足老年人需求方面的挑战，护理部门--在国家的支持下--定期通过限制性签证安排招聘移民劳动力。该项目将通过对在英国的津巴布韦护理人员及其家人的定性研究，解决英国政府如何通过私营护理部门，通过卫生和护理人员签证产生和管理这些特定类别的移民的问题。该项目融合了对劳工移徙的研究和对后殖民统治的研究，将重点扩展到对前殖民者领土内的前殖民者的实际流动和进入劳动力市场的管制。通过重点研究英国卫生和护理人员签证，这项研究将探索签证制度如何影响津巴布韦家庭与私营医疗部门雇主的互动方式，这些雇主在移民警察制度中发挥着不可或缺的作用，并在检查雇员的合法性时充当边防警卫。这项研究的重点是家庭而不是个人，目的是探索工作签证法规在创建和管理具有不同权利和限制的移民人口方面的作用。通过将家庭单位作为监管场所的重点，该研究将后殖民社会中受统治人口的生产的独特关系视角带入卫生和护理工作者签证的背景中。
