"This article shows that a family perspective is especially important for the analysis of female migration because: (1) women are major participants in 'family migration' as defined by governments and, although they benefit from family reunification provisions, they are also constrained by them; (2) migrant women are important economic actors and their participation in economic activity is closely related to the needs of their families, so that the choices that migrant women make regarding work cannot be understood without taking into account the situation of their families and women's roles within them; (3) women are increasingly becoming migrant workers in order to improve the economic status of their families; and (4) women rely on their families to provide various types of support that both make migration possible and condition its outcome. A review of the literature provides evidence supporting each of these observations."
本文表明，家庭视角对于分析女性移民尤为重要，原因如下：（1）女性是政府所定义的“家庭移民”的主要参与者，尽管她们受益于家庭团聚条款，但也受到这些条款的限制；（2）移民女性是重要的经济参与者，她们参与经济活动与家庭需求密切相关，因此，不考虑其家庭状况及其在家庭中的角色，就无法理解移民女性在工作方面所做的选择；（3）女性越来越多地成为移民工人，以改善其家庭的经济状况；（4）女性依靠家庭提供各种支持，这些支持既使移民成为可能，也影响着移民的结果。对文献的回顾提供了支持上述每一项观点的证据。
