Women, Gender, Remittances and Development in the Global South (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Developing the conceptualisation of the relationship between transnational remittance exchanges and gender, this book provides a number of case studies of relationships between gender and remittances from around the world, highlighting different processes and practises. This book provides conceptual insights to better understand how remittances affect gender identity, roles and relations (at both the receiving and sending end) and give specific attention to the roles of various actors directly and indirectly involved in remittance sending in current collectively organized remittance schemes from around the world. This adds a wealth of insights to a field that is remarkably understudied despite a volume of studies on gender and the feminization of migration in developing contexts.
