Gender and Development - Current Issue
Drawing on
insights gained over the 13 years since the journal last published an
issue on migration – a period which has seen a gradual ‘feminisation’ of
migration, and an increased focus on the benefits that migration can bring to
development in the ‘sending’ communities - the March 2011 issue of Gender
& Development, brings together research from across a range of
countries, and looks at migration not only as a livelihoods strategy,
undertaken primarily for economic reasons, but also as a response to crisis,
where people have relatively little, or no, option but to leave their homes.
