| Title | "If the peasant does not sh*t, the lord does not eat." Labor Dependency and Migration Pathways in the Austrian Agriculture |
| Summary | This thesis looks at Hungarian migrant laborers in the Austrian agricultural sectors, specifically in the Burgenland region. The thesis will answer the question of 'How is the labor dependency in the agricultural sector of Austria on Eastern-European migrant workers reproduced?’. I will look at this question in the context of the labor and mobility regimes of the European Union, Hungary, and Austria. In the analysis, I use the methodological paradigms of multisclarity and multi-sited research and use mixed methods of field observation, interviews, and other qualitative data collection. My analysis focuses on the actors of migration pathways, namely employers and work agents, the role of transnational social networks, and the redirection of reproductive costs in the reproduction of labor dependency. |
