 Women’s Labour Migration in the Context of Globalisation | [ ] | 867 Kb |
Migration of women is certainly not a new trend, but it has only just begun to be recognised more widely. Women's labour migration stimulated by large economic and social inequalities in the world is becoming ever more significant.
The report Women's labour migration in the context of globalisation offers an introduction to important contemporary political analysis on the influence of globalisation on women's work, mobility and empowerment.
It explains that globalisation shapes women's labour migration to a great extent. While globalisation has led to the acceleration of international trade and capital flows, and international migration has increased alongside this, governments and the international community have so far failed to address this facet of global development from a coherent rights and development perspective.
This report analyses these trends and offers some recommendations to ensure that women migrant workers are recognised and valued, instead of being increasingly exploited.
