This book was released on 1995-11-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book on women by women has attempted to question the basic formulation of theoretical constructs in the area of migration as they have failed to capture situations elaborated in the book. The book is based on extensive field work and on observed realities. It has successfully highlighted the major problems women hgave to face under distress conditions.... It is a welcom addition to the existing literature on studies bearing on migration, women's studies and poverty reduction strategies." --Deccan Herald "This extremely well-researched volume concentrates on the migration patterns and transformation processes in differing socio-economic, cultural and ecological circumstances.... This book asserts that development also means that women's autonomy also is an important facet in policy-making. It calls for a rethink at all levels.... The book provides ample material on the socio-economic consequences of the eroding family structures from the standpoint of female migration.... Policy-planners and development theorists would do well to put this scholarship on the board white framing strategies. Thereby not just the industry concerned will get more value for its money, but it will also further enthuse the labour.... This book may be having forerunners on similar lines, but the focus it provides on gender identification is distinct and altogther thought provoking." --Business Line "The authors have in deft detail investigated the level of poverty and the perennial struggle for survival, which force woment to move in search of work either with their families or, in some cases, on their own.... The book raises several vital questions: to what extent does poverty force these women to migrate? Is not lack of employment opportunity within their own state an equally compelling reason? Is migration merely a survival strategy or is it to satisfy new desires and demands?" --The Tribune How does seasonal labor migration affect rural Indian society? Why have past studies on seasonal migration been male-centered? In this important volume, contributors examine these and other questions as they relate to four Indian states--Orissa, Kerala, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. After a concise overview on migration studies, three case studies are presented that typify crucial transformation processes related to different socioeconomic, cultural, ecological, and livelihood systems: the forest, the sea, and the land. These case studies also explore different categories of women involved in the migration process: married, unmarried, abandoned, and tribal women staying behind while men migrate. The picture that emerges from the case studies presented is grim, demonstrating that the economic gains are minimal and the status of women sees little improvement. An major contribution to the literature on migration patterns, Women and Seasonal Labour Migration will be of interest to students and scholars in development studies, gender studies, economics, and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately half of all migrants today are female. The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which attention to gender is moving debates away from old paradigms, such as the push/pull motivation which used to dominate the field of migration studies.

Download or read book Gender and Migration written by Christiane Timmerman and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migrationgives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.

Download or read book Gender and Migration in Historical Perspective written by Beatrice Zucca Micheletto and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection focuses on migrant women and their families, aiming to study their migration patterns in a historical and gendered perspective from early modernity to contemporary times, and to reassess the role and the nature of their commitment in migration dynamics. It develops an incisive dialogue between migration studies and gender studies. Migrant women, men and their families are studied through three different but interconnected and overlapping standpoints that have been identified as crucial for a gender approach: institutions and law, labour and the household economy, and social networks. The book also promotes the potential of an inclusive approach, tackling various types of migration (domestic and temporary movements, long-distance and international migration, temporary/seasonal mobility) and arguing that different migration phenomena can be observed and understood by posing common questions to different contexts. Migration patterns are shown to be multifaceted and stratified phenomena, resulting from a range of entangled economic, cultural and social factors. This book will be of interest to academics and students of economic history, as well as those working in gender studies and migration studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into migration management via an original case study of a guest worker programme involving the circular migration to Spain of female Moroccan agricultural workers destined for the strawberry agri-food industry in the south. To ensure that they do return to Morocco, mothers of young children are first earmarked and then selected on the basis of their poor, rural origins and the supposed "delicacy of their hands". This book analyses the mechanisms through which migration and workforces are controlled, while also addressing the paradoxical experience of these female seasonal workers, at the intersection of domination and emancipation.

Book excerpt: One Way Ticket (1983) examines the ‘hidden armies’ of migrant women workers who have since the 1950s fulfilled a demand for low-skilled, low paid and insecure work in both the formal and informal economies of Western Europe. It presents a new focus for the examination of labour migration and of the specific character of female employment. It looks at the relationship between motherhood, waged work and ethnicity; the position of a second generation of black women workers; and the oppression and exploitation of migrant women by their male counterparts through the creation of ‘ethnic’ economies.

The authors, who include Uma Kothari and Emma Crewe, Ben Rogaly and Alex Jones, stress the importance of seeing an individual migrant in her or his context as a member of a social network, spanning different locations.
