Temporary and Circular Labour Migration: Reassessing established public policies Author: Ricard Zapata-Barrero, Elena Sánchez Montijano and Rocío Faúndez García Date: Autumn 2009 Abstract: Today, Temporary Labour Migration is a fundamental course of action promoted by relevant economic and political agents, such as the EC, the GCIM, or the OECD. This working paper is based on a specific empirical case study of Temporary and Circular Labour Migration in the Catalonian agrarian sector, which has been distinguished as a particularly successful formula. We identify a new area of interest: the emergence of a new empirical migrant category, the Circular Labour Migrant, which remains theoretically unnamed and lacks public recognition. We argue that, until now, there have been two historical phases regarding temporary labour migration: one of total deregulation and another of partial regulation, led by private actors with support from public institutions, and featuring circularity. In a developed Welfare State context, it would be normatively pertinent to expect a step towards a third phase, one involving the institutionalization of this new mobility category through the elaboration of a public policy.
