TL;DR: In this article, the authors take the migrant broker as a starting point for investigating contemporary regimes of transnational migration across Asia and show that marriage migration, student migration, and various forms of unskilled labour migration, including predominantly male plantation and construction work and female domestic, entertainment, and sex work, are all mediated by brokers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss gender and migration theory, gender awareness in migration theory and the implications for theory, policy, research, and networking for women in the labour market.

TL;DR: The authors investigates the ways in which domestic workers' social maps are structured and negotiated in relation to public space and argues that the phenomenon of the "divided city" evident in capitalist societies which reflects and reinforces the sexual division of labour in general is even more salient in the lived experiences of migrant female domestic workers who must contend not simply with the spatial expressions of patriarchy, but also with racialisation and other means of segregation.

TL;DR: This paper explored how migrant women and their family members define and negotiate family ideals gender identities and family relationships given the familys transnational configuration, and provided some support to the notion that individual members in transnational families resort to "relativising" in fashioning responses to their situation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors emphasize the significance of considering the politics and practices of transnationalism as they impinge on the social morphology of Transnational 'Asian' families and discuss three strands of work in this arena: transnational families draw on ideologically laden imaginaries to give coherence to notions of belonging despite the physical dispersal of their members.
