Abstract

"The impact of family migration on women's economic position in a developing country setting is an area that has received relatively little research attention. Incorporating a lifetime perspective, this study makes use of the retrospective migration histories of husbands and wives from the second round of the Malaysian Family Life Survey to estimate how joint migration with the husband affects women's socioeconomic achievement. The findings show that family migration depresses the chances of working, but it does not significantly reduce socioeconomic attainment of those who do work. However, when a woman migrates with her husband she does forgo the substantial advantage she could have derived had she moved alone."

摘要

在发展中国家背景下，家庭迁移对女性经济地位的影响是一个相对较少受到研究关注的领域。本研究从一生的视角出发，利用马来西亚家庭生活调查第二轮中丈夫和妻子的回顾性迁移历史，来估计与丈夫共同迁移如何影响女性的社会经济成就。研究结果表明，家庭迁移降低了工作机会，但并没有显著降低就业女性的社会经济成就。然而，当女性与丈夫一起迁移时，她确实放弃了独自迁移本可获得的巨大优势。
