Santo Domingo, 2006The purpose of this paper is to define a qualitative research methodology for the development potential of remittances from a gender perspective. The methodology was validated through a case study conducted in the Dominican Republic, which focused specifically on the migration of Dominicans to Spain. Nevertheless, the methodology is designed for use in different geographical regions with distinct migration patterns in order to ensure the development of a comparative framework that maps the largest possible number of variables in addressing the issue of remittances from a gender perspective. The methodology thus contains basic steps and techniques that should be subsequently adapted to each specific case.

This document is the result of UN-INSTRAW’s research into migration, gender and development, and the organization’s recently launched work in a new strategic area: global care chains.1 UN-INSTRAW is convinced that the formation of global care chains embodies the broader process of the globalization of care and provides a valuable position from which to examine the interrelationship between migration and development.
The study of global care chains most often considers Asian migration (within Asia, or interregional migration in the case of migration to the United States) and rarely at migration from Latin America and the Caribbean. That is the focus of this paper, where we ask both “what is happening” and “how to intervene”. Our intention in bringing this paper to the public debate is threefold: 1) to show the importance of including caregiving in discussions around development; 2) to argue that we cannot address caregiving without considering globalization and migration; and 3) to raise new elements of reflection for those already working in the area of the social organization of care, such as the issue of development from a transnational perspective.

The document Crossing Borders II: Migration and Development from a Gender Perspective is the result of a process of theoretical and conceptual reflection carried out at UN-INSTRAW. Following the initial publication of Crossing Borders: Gender, Remittances and Development (UN-INSTRAW, 2005), in which the linkages between gender, migration and development were explored from the perspective of the sending, receipt and utilization of remittances, several case studies have been conducted by UN-INSTRAW in various contexts. The evidence documented through these case studies has allowed us to revisit our initial analytical framework from a new base of understanding and today present a revised framework that looks more broadly at the linkages between migration and development from a gender perspective, taking into account but also moving beyond the question ofremittances.

El texto Cruzando fronteras II, Migración y Desarrollo desde una perspectiva de género es el resultado de una reflexión teórica y conceptual realizada desde UN-INSTRAW. Tras una primera publicación en la cual se exploraba el nexo de la migración y el desarrollo, teniendo en cuenta las remesas como uno de los fenómenos relevantes dentro de la migración internacional contemporánea, se han ido desarrollando diversos estudios de caso publicados en la serie “Género y Remesas”. La conjunción del marco teórico y la base empírica de los estudios nos permiten hoy presentar un nuevo documento en el que se ahondan y exploran temáticas emergentes relacionadas, con miras a contribuir, desde una perspectiva de género, al debate sobre los vínculos entre migración y desarrollo, debate muy centrado hasta el momento en el papel de las remesas.

Women are an increasing part of migratory movements. As active participants in these movements, they contribute to the maintenance of their households and to the development of their communities of origin through the sending of remittances. However, gender inequalities differentiate the migratory experience for men and women. Despite the growing number of women migrants and the importance of remittances for the material wellbeing of many families in developing countries, very few studies analyze the relationship between gender and remittances. This INSTRAW working paper establishes the background and theoretical framework for INSTRAW's work on the gender dimensions of remittances.
