Transnational Migration, Gender and Human Security

Gale Summerfield

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue 4, 13-18

Abstract: Gale Summerfield examines the gender and human security aspects of transnational migration. Human security is taken here as an emphasis on basic needs, sustainability of a set of core capabilities and agency of people as full participants in society, for which gender equity is essential. Summerfield focuses on two key areas of rapid change: the global labour market for services and remittances for financing development through a case study on gender and human security of Latina/o immigrants in central Illinois. Development (2007) 50, 13–18. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100420
