TLDR
In this paper, the authors look at the gender dynamics of both international and the lesser-researched internal migration and the interconnections between the two, covering both forced and voluntary migration including covering economic and other voluntary migrants refugees and internally displaced persons and trafficked people.Abstract:
Over the past four decades total numbers of international migrants have more than doubled but the percentage of the world population migrating has remained fairly constant. There are now 175 million international migrants worldwide or approximately 3.5 per cent of the global population - about half of whom are women despite the common misconception that men are the migrants. This Overview Report on Gender and Migration takes a broad approach to migration - it looks at the gender dynamics of both international and the lesser-researched internal migration and the interconnections between the two. People may choose to migrate or have no choice or the decision may fall somewhere on the continuum between the two. This report therefore covers both forced and voluntary migration including covering economic and other voluntary migrants refugees and internally displaced persons and trafficked people. These migrants in turn come through regular (conforming to legal requirements) or irregular channels. (excerpt)read more
