            Abstrakt

            This study focuses on the paths to regularization of Ukrainian migrants in Italy. Qualitat
            and relying on in-depth semi-structured
            interviews, it uncovers in depth the fragmentation of status and rights that the process o

            often brings, focusing specifically on the individual costs of “becoming regular.” The stu
            looks at the emerging compensating mechanisms and networks that are developed by migrants 
            institutional dead-ends. Legality and regularity in migration – often presented in policy 

            debates as a black and white matter – are in practice a complex and lengthy process for mi
            individuals. The study makes its contribution by examining how individual migrants often i

            shoulder costs linked to regularization, utilizing a combination of formal and informal me
            it. Most importantly, the study’s contribution highlights the role of age, gender and type
            on the paths to regularity; by looking at the experiences of ageing women providing care a

            in private homes in Bologna I explore how age and individual relations with their families
            at work affect the meaning of regularization for this category of migrants and influence t
            ageing.
