摘要 本文确定并研究了移民家庭工人的流动途径，即他们为确保持续就业而采取的行动方针。流动路径不仅指移民实践和过程，还涉及就业、法律和社会地位的变化。本文研究了移民家庭工人的流动路径，以探讨他们的移民在分层的全球劳动力市场中实现社会经济流动的可能性。本文根据对在阿拉伯联合酋长国主要目的地就业的菲律宾移徙家政工人进行的 85 次深度访谈，确定了三种显着的流动途径：连续移徙、交错移徙和返回移徙。它重新审视了我们在移民研究中对社会和空间流动交叉点的理解，因为它首先确立了跨国移民的显着性，从而打破了移民在任何一个目的地持续定居的假设，其次说明了非技术移民工人的贫困社会再生产，从而消除了移民提供了社会经济流动的必然路径的观念。
ABSTRACT This article identifies and examines the mobility pathways of migrant domestic workers, meaning the course of action they undertake to secure continuous employment. Mobility pathways refer not only to migratory practices and processes but also concern shifts in one’s employment, legal and social status. This article examines the mobility pathways of migrant domestic workers in order to interrogate the possibilities of socio-economic mobility allowed by their migration in a stratified global labour market. Drawing from 85 in-depth interviews conducted with Filipino migrant domestic workers employed in the key destination of the United Arab Emirates, this article identifies three salient mobility pathways of serial migration, staggered migration and return migration. It revisits our understanding in migration studies of the intersections of social and spatial mobility as it first establishes the salience of multi-national migrations, thus disrupting the assumption of the continuous settlement of migrants in any one destination, and second illustrates the social reproduction of poverty for unskilled migrant workers, thus dispelling the notion that migration offers an inevitable path to socio-economic mobility.
