  1. Temporary labor migration patterns: costs of temporality for individual migrants EU migration regimes: principle of utilitarian approach to labor migration “Better” and “worse” migrants: encouraging “high-skilled” migration while controlling “low-skilled” migratory flows

  2. Principles of temporality: “providing temporary labor for permanent labor demand” (Castles 2006) • Circular migration is international, temporary, repeated migration for economic reasons (METOIKOS 2010). Migrants who simply visit relatives back home for a long time and do not pursue economic goal do not qualify as circular migrants. • “temporary” or “circular”: can we speak of circularity in case of migration of the 3rd country nationals to the EU?

  3. Case-study: migration of Ukrainian nationals to CzR and Italy Framework: “Costs and benefits of temporary and circular migration between the Eastern Partnership Countries and the European Union”. Question: • What are the practical costs of temporality for individual migrants’ occupational trajectories, access to social benefits and opportunities for mobility.

  4. Main findings • Circularity, as a privilege • Employment, as a key to a possibility for return • Pension and health system contributions as a price for legality

  5. Who’s win: brief conclusions • Receiving state: cheap and easily disposable labor force • Sending state: shifting the social risks from the deteriorating state social system to the individual and household level (education, care, unemployment risks, health) • Migrants: reconfigured relation with the states in which provisions are not granted on the basis of rights but are available for sale.
