dc.descriptionThe 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 however, and Migration and Gender in the Developed World contains chapters from a diverse range of leading contributors to 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. The volume covers a wide range of migration issues 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 and draws out the importance of gender issues in each area. Approaching the subject from a variety of academic traditions including Geography, Sociology and Social Policy, the volume combines both quantitative analysis of factual data and qualitative analysis of interview material to demonstrate the importance of studying migration through gender-sensitive eyes.-
