Poverty, Gender and Migration

Patterns of migration among Asian women are the focus of this book in which the contributors closely examine the complex layers of needs, networks and choices that are available in poverty-driven migration.

While some of the essays deal with international migration, others look at internal migration and its associated problems within certain Asian countries. By bringing in shared experiences from various Asian countries, both in terms of migration within the region and outward migration, the book identifies patterns of similarity as well as differences within the broad framework of the capitalist world economy and changing patterns of labour relations.
