The subject of migration has traditionally been analysed through
the lens of economic factors. The importance of adopting a gender
sensitive perspective to academic work is now generally
appreciated. This text contains chapters from a range of
contributors who apply such a perspective to the study of migration
in the countries of the developed world. Each chapter demonstrates
how migration is highly gendered, with the experiences of women and
men often varying markedly in different migration situations. This
volume covers a range of migration issues and draws out the
importance of gender issues in each area, including: dual career
households; regional migration patterns; emigration from Ireland
and Hong Kong; elderly migration; the migration decision-making
process; and the costs and benefits attached to migration.
Approaching the subject from a variety of academic traditions
including geography, sociology and social policy, the volume
combines both an analysis of factual data and qualitative analysis
of interview material to show the importance of studying migration
through gender sensitive eyes.
