Migration of Labor and Public Policies Compared: Toward an International Informalization of Work?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using a critical analysis of Canadian public policies on immigration and employment, we carry out an international comparative study of the socioeconomic impacts of temporary migrant labour on employment regulation and access to labour social rights. On an infra-national level, this study focuses primarily on local impacts of the main temporary migrant worker programs in Canada, wich are examined and referred to as a “grey zone” of work actually in emergence in Canadian work environments. Those environments have always been marked by a labour relations model issued from the New Deal, clearly in rupture with the growing informality specific to this grey zone. We also analyze the impact of temporary labour migration as a key issue in the international division of labour, highlighting the consequences of erosion in the employment relationship and reduced access to social rights. The conclusion raises the issue of the state’s ambivalence in managing migrant inflows and examines implications for the social relationship, given that the phenomenon at issue has heavy local consequences that are as worthy of study as its international scope.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
