Abstract: The purpose of the article is to show the process of feminization of international labor migration in the European Union during first decade of 21st century. It also includes studies on the occurrence’s aspects and typical concurrent processes. Common features connected with feminization of migration are: causes and effects of women immigration, job types which they apply for in host countries, possible danger awareness, and redefinition in the role of women in families. The reasons which initiated the feminization have their own beginning in economic situation of the female immigrants’ countries. Condition of women’s financial situation, development and bright future for family depend on those motives. Therefore the article analyzes them and points out from what the consequences arise and on whom they affect the most. The process of feminization is concomitant with side effects such as ‘euro orphanhood’ and change in family model. In addition, the article brings up some history statistics and compares to the recent data.
