Despite the great number of female migrants and their importance for the development agenda in countries of origin, there has until recently been a striking lack of gender analysis in the economic literature on international migration and development. This volume makes a valuable contribution in this context by providing eight new studies focusing on the nexus between gender, international migration, and economic development.Trade and development series.Women immigrantsWomen foreign workersWomenEconomic conditionsEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsBrain drainElectronic books.Women immigrants.Women foreign workers.WomenEconomic conditions.Emigration and immigrationEconomic aspects.Brain drain.305.48/96912Morrison Andrew R253346Schiff Maurice89233Sjöblom Mirja1981-896837MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451933103321The international migration of women2003718UNINA
