Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The paper discusses the tensions between the feminisation of migration and the domestic roles women typically assume, including unpaid care work. It then examines issues related to health of migrants, through a gender lens. Discussion primarily focuses on some key areas that have particular resonance in debates around the health and well-being of migrants—occupational health and work, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health.
