The increasing scale of transnational migration is sociologically one of the most interesting features of contemporary life, not least because of the analytical challenges posed by the complexity of this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to explore the contradictions inherent in policy approaches to migration in the EU - the logic of the market is weighed against welfare protectionism; welfare and labour market regulation against demands for cheap labour; national resource concerns against transnational rights. The outcome is presented in terms of an increasingly complex system of civic stratification, which raises a further set of contradictions; discriminatory exclusion alongside assertions of equal treatment. The implications of these cross-cutting pressures for a sociological understanding of migration are considered throughout, and doubt is cast on the validity of any single overarching perspective.

This article, partly in response to Wheelock's article in Capital & Class (1990), examines the issue of flexibility, with regard to domestic labour, between married couples with different patterns of employment/unemployment. Morris argues that women's role within the home will not be strengthened so long as they are restricted to part-time work–which, in essence, is designed to accomodate their 'domestic obligations'.

Recent treatments of the household effects of economic change have tended to focus on household outcomes with reference to the use of resources of time and labour, paying scant attention to differences of power and interest within the home. It is suggested here that the most fruitful focus for the investigation of such intrahousehold divisions is the management of household finance. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate, by reference to existing literature on married couples, that: (a) households constitute an amalgam of often conflicting individual interests, and that (b) some of these interests, particularly as expressed through access to and control over household resources, are closely related to experience and/or behaviour in the labour market. In doing so questions are raised about the balance between personal needs and interests, and those of the household as a collectivity, and the relative significance of both these concerns for the motivation to earn. The notion of a household strategy and the emergence of a strategy in practice should therefore take account of these different interests and the way they are acknowledged or suppressed in the organisation of household finance. In pursuing such analysis it becomes necessary to take account of how far spending obligations and orientations towards spending and consumption are fashioned or constrained by gender roles, and the way in which the emergent patterns interact with position and behaviour in the labour market.
