This study examines how gender norms and household gender dynamics are modified in Egypt as a result of male return migration from other Arab Countries. Data come from the 2006 and 2012 Egyptian Labor Market Panel Survey. For 7,314 married couples in 2006 and 8,992 married couples in 2012, treatment effects regression models of gender norms and household decision-making and return migration are estimated. Egyptian women with spouses who have migrated to an Arab country and returned value more traditional gender norms. Women in households with a spouse who returned also make fewer household decisions compared to women in non-migrant households. Women with spouses who have migrated multiple times also make fewer household decisions compared to women who had a spouse migrate before 2006. The findings suggest transformation of household gender dynamics and reinforcement of traditional gender ideologies by male emigration to and immigration from other Arab countries.
本研究考察了由于男性从其他阿拉伯国家回迁，埃及的性别规范和家庭性别动态是如何发生变化的。数据来自2006年和2012年埃及劳动力市场面板调查。针对2006年的7314对已婚夫妇和2012年的8992对已婚夫妇，估计了性别规范、家庭决策和回迁移民的处理效应回归模型。配偶移民到阿拉伯国家并回迁的埃及女性更看重传统性别规范。与非移民家庭的女性相比，配偶回迁家庭中的女性做出的家庭决策也更少。与配偶在2006年之前移民的女性相比，配偶多次移民的女性做出的家庭决策也更少。研究结果表明，男性向其他阿拉伯国家移民和从其他阿拉伯国家回迁导致了家庭性别动态的转变以及传统性别观念的强化。
