The current share of women in the world's international migrant
population is close to one half. Despite the great number of female
migrants, there has until recently been a striking lack of gender
analysis in the economic literature on international migration and
development. This volume makes a valuable contribution in this
context by providing eight new studies focusing on the nexus
between gender, international migration and economic development.
The volume is organized into five parts. Part I sets the stage for
the remaining chapters by outlining data on female migration and by
reviewing previous research on gender and international migration.
Part II explores gendered determinants of migration and remittances
and contains two studies. One of them explores the determinants of
migration using a unique dataset from rural Mexico. The other study
examines gender-specific determinants of remittances using a new
dataset collected in major destination countries. Part III
addresses the impacts of migration and remittances on sending
countries, and provides two analyses of household level data from
Ghana and Mexico. Part IV turns to the labor market insertion of
female migrants, and explores their labor market participation and
performance in the U.S.. The volume concludes with a
forward-looking chapter which summarizes the major findings of this
volume, links these to policies and outlines some of the burning
policy issues that need to be addressed by future research.
