Title | Gendered migrations: towards gender sensitive policies in the UK, asylum and migration. |
Authors | Kofman, E., Raghuram, P. and Merefield, M. |
Abstract | Migrants and the migration process are implicitly – and sometimes explicitly – assumed to be male. From analyses of economic migration and its impacts on the labour market through to assumptions about the persecution of politically active men, the description of the factors underlying migration to the UK, the experiences of migrants themselves and the costs and benefits that they bring to our society and economy are based on a model of male migration. Unfortunately, this model rarely, if ever, reflects the reality of what is actually going on. |
