Introducing and contextualising feminised migration

chapter
posted on 2017-01-01, 00:00 authored by Fethi MansouriFethi Mansouri, David Tittensor
The increased prominence of female migration, along with a much wider array of push and pull factors, has often lead scholars to focus on one issue as it pertains to women and migration, such as human trafficking or remittances. Indeed, it unusual for a volume to focus on more than one particular aspect of the migratory experience with much of the literature focusing on the plight of domestic workers. Thus, the aim of this volume has been to provide a wider survey that captures the multiplicity of drivers and resultant policy formations across a variety of regions. Further, in doing so it has sought to provide a balanced account that takes into consideration both the structural drivers of migration without losing sight of individual agency and how these intersect.
