| The report Women's labour migration in the context of globalisation offers an introduction to important contemporary political analysis on the influence of globalisation on women’s work, mobility and empowerment. It explains that globalisation shapes women’s labour migration to a great extent. Global shifts in international trade and investment have had a significant impact on the geographical distribution and mobility of the workforce within and between countries. In recent decades we have witnessed a dramatic increase in international trade and investment globally. Alongside this, international and internal migration has increased. Today, large Transnational Corporations (TNCs) drive and control the production and trade of goods and services and technological development all over the world. Their activities have major impacts on regions, countries, communities and people in most of the world. Factories are closed and reopened in new areas or countries, natural resources and common goods are privatised, traditional knowledge is patented, agricultural production is ‘modernised’ through export orientation, and labour is exploited in both the formal and informal economies. 1. Introduction 2. Current trends in women’s migration 3. Globalisation as a main driving factor in shaping women’s migration 4. Women as independent labour migrants 5. Women’s migration in the context of the economic crisis 6. Migrant women in the European Union 7. Policy overview 8. Empowerment and political voice | |
