Gender, remittances and development: The case of women migrants from Vicente Noble, Dominican RepublicSanto Domingo, 2006 (order from UN Publications)
Mar García Domínguez
The integration of gender perspectives in the analysis of migratory processes, remittances and development contributes to making development and migration policies and programmes more effective and sustainable. INSTRAW has initiated a series of case studies with the aim of understanding the gender dimensions of the migratory phenomenon, remittances, and their potential for development. The case of Dominican migration to Spain was chosen as an initial study because it is uniquely appropriate for an analysis of the links between migration, remittances and gender: it is a predominantly female migratory flow from rural areas, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households.

This publication presents case studies conducted by INSTRAW and IOM (International Organization on Migration) on temporary labor migration of women in two countries in Southeast Asia: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The main focus of the research was on how female migration affects women's empowerment process; the kinds of hazards which migrant women are exposed to in both the receiving and sending country; the economic and social impact of female migration on the families left behind; and how gender roles are redefined in terms of the division of labour and decision making processes in the household. Case studies include recommendations to governments of sending and receiving countries as well as to international organizations and non-governmental organizations that are concerned with the plight of migrant women and the economic and social impact of this phenomenon at the household, national and international levels.
