ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Examines how female out-migration may change roles and responsibilities within households and how decision making power is redistributed within families. Provides examples of practical interventions at the community level to promote sustainable alternatives to migration and to prepare those who still decide to migrate.
