This book explores the dynamic interplay between cross-national and cross-cultural patterns of female migration, integration and social change, by focusing on the specific case of Belgium. It provides insight into the dynamic interplay between gender and migration, and especially contributes to the knowledge of how migration changes gender relations in Belgium, as well as in the regions of origin. To this end, an analytical model for conducting gender-sensitive migration research is developed out of an initial theory-driven conceptual model. Employing a transversal approach, the researchers reveal similarities and differences across national backgrounds, disclosing the underlying, more "universal" gender dynamics.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume makes a decisive intervention in migration studies, moving the analysis of gender from the margins to the very center of the inquiry. Grounded in the landmark FEMIGRIN project, this work rejects the obsolete "add women and stir" approach in favor of a dynamic, multi-level framework that reveals how gender and migration are mutually constituted. Using Belgium as its laboratory, the study systematically unfolds from a broad quantitative mapping of female migrant populations and their labor market precarity (Chapters 2 & 3) to a series of rich, granular qualitative case studies. By exploring the distinct "migration careers" of women from Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Latin America, Romania, and Nigeria (Chapters 4-8), the analysis reveals them not as passive subjects of structural forces, but as active agents who navigate, negotiate, and reshape gender relations within the family, community, and workplace. The book's intellectual core is its powerful transversal synthesis (Chapter 9), which cuts across national origins to distill the universal dynamics of how migration itself becomes a catalyst for profound social change. Essential reading for scholars and policymakers in sociology, gender studies, and public policy, this book provides both a replicable methodological model and indispensable insights into the lived realities of migrant women, offering a crucial foundation for more equitable and effective integration policy.
