Invitation: 03/06/2025 – EUI Workshop – Intermediaries, scams and disappearing employers

This seminar will explore how migrant workers across legal statuses face common challenges in accessing and keeping work, especially through everyday scams. These are often not just isolated incidents but part of a broader system involving employers, intermediaries, legal actors, and even state agents.

Based on research from the project Protecting Irregular Migrants in Europe (PRIME), speakers will show how irregularity is not just a legal label but a condition created by bureaucracy, market pressures, and gaps in state support.

They will also call for a rethinking of migration governance that goes beyond legal status to address the networks and intermediaries that shape migrant precarity across Europe.
