Abstract	"This article provides an analysis of privilege in the context of temporary youth migration in the United Kingdom. In this paper, I focus on the employment patterns of young migrants on the bilateral Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) to the UK, who base themselves in London for a two-year period of 'work' and 'play'. Young migrants on similar working holidaymaker schemes are mostly understood as 'sojourners' in the scholarship, with a 'taken for granted' approach on their privileged positionality. This article focusses on YMS migrants' employment patterns and the disparate access to mobilities, asking how privilege is drawn from both state's structuring of the scheme, and through localised interactions in London. My findings point to polarising of employment patterns among YMS participants based on first language, 'race', gender, nationality and historic-colonial links to Britain. The paper contributes to our knowledge of privilege in understanding temporary migration, which is increasingly charted through bilateral and quota-based schemes." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
