?:abstract
  • This chapter is inscribed in broader discussions on (in particular EU-labour) migrants’ participation in the Swiss welfare system and critically reviews the dominant public and policy discourse on the international migration-social security nexus. An overview of migrants’ monetary contribution to the Swiss welfare system and international calculations suggest that overall migrants contribute more than they receive in Switzerland. Migrants’ access to old-age pensions are restricted upon return to their country of origin as they lose the right to apply for supplementary benefits at old age (EL). Findings from qualitative interviews reveal that migrants have difficulties navigating through the welfare institutions in Switzerland and further perceive themselves unjustly treated when back in their home countries. Based on quantitative and qualitative secondary data sources, the chapter argues that a more comprehensive discussion about social protection and migration would benefit from a more precise look at the migrants’ overall contribution to social welfare.
