This preprint examines forms of invisible labour precarity experienced by EU migrants in Luxembourg, focusing on housing extraction, relational poverty and social fragmentation within highly transnational urban environments. The paper argues that Luxembourg’s apparent prosperity often conceals diffuse forms of insecurity affecting workers who remain formally integrated into labour markets while experiencing chronic financial pressure, weak social rootedness and unstable forms of belonging. The analysis introduces the figure of the “global citizen in solitude” in order to conceptualise contemporary forms of precarity emerging within advanced European economies.
