Preferred term

feminization of migration  

Definition

  • The term feminization of migration is often loosely associated with the increase in the number of women migrating. However, the term was originally coined in the 1980s by economist Guy Standing to describe a much more complex process. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Feminization of Migration]
