Book Synopsis Women, Gender, Remittances and Development in the Global South by : Ton van Naerssen
Download or read book Women, Gender, Remittances and Development in the Global South written by Ton van Naerssen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book endeavours to take the conceptualisation of the relationship between transnational remittance exchanges and gender to a new level. Thus, inevitably, it provides a number of case studies of relationships between gender and remittances from around the world, highlighting different processes and practises. Thereby the authors seek to understand the impact of remittances on gender and gender relations, both at the sending as well as at the receiving end. For each case study authors ask how remittances affect gender identities and relationships but also vice versa. By itself this already adds a wealth of insights to a field that is remarkably understudied despite a volume of studies on gender and the feminization of migration in developing contexts. Chapters take an open, explorative approach to the relationship between gender and remittance behaviour with the aid of case studies focusing on transnational flows between migrants and countries of origin. With the wide variety of cases this book is able to provide conceptual insights to better understand how remittances affect gender identity, roles and relations (at both the receiving and sending end) and give specific attention to the roles of various actors directly and indirectly involved in remittance sending in current collectively organized remittance schemes from around the world.

How do patterns of migration and remittances differ across regions? What kinds of regulatory and institutional frameworks best support the contributions of remittances to local development? What has been the impact of remittances on migrants and their families? Drawing on empirical data from five continents and firmly grounded in theory, Orozco¿s work reflects the evolution of our understanding about the importance of migrant remittances and the policies that govern them.
Book Synopsis Gender, Remittances and Development by : Mar García Domínguez
Download or read book Gender, Remittances and Development written by Mar García Domínguez and published by UN/INSTRAW. This book was released on 2006 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examines the development impact of remittances, with a focus on the gender dimension. It considers the case of migration from Vicente Noble, a rural community in the south-west of the Dominican Republic, to Spain. This area was chosen as it gave rise to the first migratory flows to Spain, predominantly female-led, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households. It looks at the theoretical context to the study including the feminisation of migration; the historical context of Dominican migration; the migration process including the creation of transnational households and female migratory networks; the sending, receipt, use and management of remittances and changes in gender roles brought about by ths; the sending and receipt of collective remittances and the extent to which these support local development initiatives.

Book Synopsis Women Migrant Workers by : Zahra Meghani
Download or read book Women Migrant Workers written by Zahra Meghani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes the case for the fair treatment of female migrant workers from the global South who are employed in wealthy liberal democracies as care workers, domestic workers, home health workers, and farm workers. An international panel of contributors provide analyses of the ethical, political, and legal harms suffered by female migrant workers, based on empirical data and case studies, along with original and sophisticated analyses of the complex of systemic, structural factors responsible for the harms experienced by women migrant workers. The book also proposes realistic and original solutions to the problem of the unjust treatment of women migrant workers, such as social security systems that are transnational and tailored to meet the particular needs of different groups of international migrant workers.
Book Synopsis Gender and Migration by : Christiane Timmerman
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.
Book Synopsis Crossing Borders II by : Amaia Pérez Orozco

Book excerpt: This publication is the result of theoretical reflections and empirical studies carried out by the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW). It explores what other issues, beyond remittances alone, constitute strategic topics for deeper analysis. The broader aim is to create - from a gender perspective - a positive synergy between migration and development. This publication is evidence of the need to consider and debate new paradigms in order to identify public policies and programmes which make gender equality central to development, and which recognize women as leaders in different spheres of action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this study, UN-INSTRAW has partnered with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in order to examine the impact and potential of remittances for making positive contributions to sustainable and gender-sensitive local development in the rural Philippines. One of the particular features of this investigation was the active participation of an association of Filipina migrant women in Rome, Italy, the Filipino Women's Council (FWC) in the research process. After the first section with the theoretical framework that guided the research process, followed by a brief overview of the study's main objectives and the methodology used in the collection and analysis of the data, part two characterizes the migratory and remittance flows between the Philippines and Italy, and provides an overview of some of the key factors currently working on initiatives linked to migration, remittances and development. This is followed by an analysis of remittances' impact and potential for promoting gender- sensitive sustainable rural development and food security in the communities of origin studied. The fourth section of this paper highlights some of the conclusions reached during a validation workshop in which Filipino migrants in Rome met with the project researchers to discuss this study's results and explore possible initiatives for future action. Finally, the conclusions of this study are presented along with a series of recommendations for future policy and research in this area.--Publisher's description

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study also demonstrated that poor economic status of origin households is an important explanatory variable for the out-migration of its members and their remittance behavior. Thus, remittances made by out-migrants were crucial resources for many households to overcome capital constraints or to ensure their survival. However, no evidence was found that remittances were channeled to economically productive investment. Therefore, policy measures to provide households with income-generating opportunities and encourage the utilization of remittances for development were suggested.
