Download or read book Women, Gender, and Labour Migration written by Pamela Sharpe and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait du résumé de l'ouvrage : "Migration is one of the foremost social issues of our times. European countries are now as multicultural as the United States, australia or other migrant-settler societies. Refugee movements, involving just as many women and children as men, have become one of the most outstanding contemporary human rights issues. The statistics are striking. In the second half if the twentieth century, the proportion of the world's population who lived in cities doubled, and in all but the poorest of developing countries the urban population now exceeds the rural. This has meant an enormous social transformation, but jsut how new are the features we associate with modern migration ? Until the mid-1980s virtually no attention had been paid to female migrants at all : they were assumed to be dependent family memebers who followed their husbands. [This document] provides the historical context for the recognition that many female migrants were actally autonomous agents. The contributors indicate the women's involvment in long distance and international migration for work puposes is not a new phenomenon. They track women's paths in all five continents, from wet nurses in eighteenth-century Spain to women workers crossing the international borders of Southern Africa, and trace the historical antecedents for the transnatioal lives of many families. In so doing, a picture emerges of the historically separate but intrinsically connected movements of men and women in labour migrations."

Book Synopsis Gender and Migration in Historical Perspective by : Beatrice Zucca Micheletto
Download or read book Gender and Migration in Historical Perspective written by Beatrice Zucca Micheletto and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 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. Beatrice Zucca Micheletto is a researcher at DISSGeA, University of Padua (Italy). She is research affiliate at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure (Campop), University of Cambridge, UK, where she has been Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow (2017-2019).

Book Synopsis Towards a Systemic Theory of Irregular Migration by : Gabriel Echeverría
Download or read book Towards a Systemic Theory of Irregular Migration written by Gabriel Echeverría and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides an alternative theoretical framework of irregular migration that allows to overcome many of the contradictions and theoretical impasses displayed by the majority of approaches in current literature. The analytical framework allows moving from an interpretation biased by methodological nationalism, to a more general systemic interpretation. It explains irregular migration as a structural phenomenon or contemporary society, and why state policies are greatly ineffective in their attempt to control irregular migration. It also explains irregular migration as a diversified phenomenon that relates to the social characteristics of the context, and why states accept irregular migrants. By providing new comparative, empirical, qualitative material which allows to start filling an evident gap in the current research on irregular migration, this book is of interest to graduate students, scholars and policy makers.

Book Synopsis Immigration as a Social Determinant of Health by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Immigration as a Social Determinant of Health written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1965 the foreign-born population of the United States has swelled from 9.6 million or 5 percent of the population to 45 million or 14 percent in 2015. Today, about one-quarter of the U.S. population consists of immigrants or the children of immigrants. Given the sizable representation of immigrants in the U.S. population, their health is a major influence on the health of the population as a whole. On average, immigrants are healthier than native-born Americans. Yet, immigrants also are subject to the systematic marginalization and discrimination that often lead to the creation of health disparities. To explore the link between immigration and health disparities, the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity held a workshop in Oakland, California, on November 28, 2017. This summary of that workshop highlights the presentations and discussions of the workshop.

Book Synopsis Gender and Citizenship in Historical and Transnational Perspective by : Anne Epstein
Download or read book Gender and Citizenship in Historical and Transnational Perspective written by Anne Epstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With gender as its central focus, this book offers a transnational, multi-faceted understanding of citizenship as legislated, imagined, and exercised since the late eighteenth century. Framed around three crosscutting themes - agency, space and borders - leading scholars demonstrate what historians can bring to the study of citizenship and its evolving relationship with the theory and practice of democracy, and how we can make the concept of citizenship operational for studying past societies and cultures. The essays examine the past interactions of women and men with public authorities, their participation in civic life within various kinds of polities and the meanings they attached to their actions. In analyzing the way gender operated both to promote and to inhibit civic consciousness, action, and practice, this book advances our knowledge about the history of citizenship and the evolution of the modern state.

Book Synopsis Switzerland and Migration by : Barbara Lüthi
Download or read book Switzerland and Migration written by Barbara Lüthi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the history of migration in Switzerland from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It brings together recent scholarship on Switzerland in the field of cultural and migration studies, as well as migration history, and combines various research approaches from postcolonial studies, transnational studies, border studies, and history of knowledge. Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland has gradually transformed into a migration society, becoming one of the countries in Europe with the highest percentage of migrant population. While migration has become one of most contentious issues in Swiss public and political debates, the volume also shows how migrants have developed various strategies to deal with the country’s discriminatory policies and distinct institutional settings. The authors of the volume convincingly challenge the view that Switzerland still does not represent a migration (or even post-migrant) society and substantially contributes to the long overdue acknowledgement of Switzerland in migration history and studies at the international level.
Book Synopsis Determinants of Illegal Migration by : Robert Wiliater Sibarani
Download or read book Determinants of Illegal Migration written by Robert Wiliater Sibarani and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deportation remains a critical issue within labour migration from East Java to Malaysia. The research presented in this book focuses on the most predominant factors determining why workers from East Java migrate illegally to Malaysia. It finds out that the difference between wages before migration and expected wages in Malaysia, the low educational level (below junior secondary school), being married, and being between 15 and 30 years old increases the probability the workers from East Java migrate illegally to Malaysia. Based on the findings, the recommendations which are proposed to local government are to communicate actively with the migrant candidates to explain legal migration, to implement strict control against the presence of illegal agents, and encourage opening more branches of PPTKIS (Private Agency for Placement of Indonesian Migrant Workers Abroad) in the remote areas in East Java.
