This book endeavours to take the conceptualisation of the relationship between transnational remittance exchanges and gender to a new level. Thus, inevitably, it provides a number of case studies of relationships between gender and remittances from around the world, highlighting different processes and practises. Thereby the authors seek to understand the impact of remittances on gender and gender relations, both at the sending as well as at the receiving end. For each case study authors ask how remittances affect gender identities and relationships but also vice versa. By itself this already adds a wealth of insights to a field that is remarkably understudied despite a volume of studies on gender and the feminization of migration in developing contexts. Chapters take an open, explorative approach to the relationship between gender and remittance behaviour with the aid of case studies focusing on transnational flows between migrants and countries of origin. With the wide variety of cases this book is able to provide conceptual insights to better understand how remittances affect gender identity, roles and relations (at both the receiving and sending end) and give specific attention to the roles of various actors directly and indirectly involved in remittance sending in current collectively organized remittance schemes from around the world.

This qualitative study examines the development impact of remittances, with a focus on the gender dimension. It considers the case of migration from Vicente Noble, a rural community in the south-west of the Dominican Republic, to Spain. This area was chosen as it gave rise to the first migratory flows to Spain, predominantly female-led, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households. It looks at the theoretical context to the study including the feminisation of migration; the historical context of Dominican migration; the migration process including the creation of transnational households and female migratory networks; the sending, receipt, use and management of remittances and changes in gender roles brought about by ths; the sending and receipt of collective remittances and the extent to which these support local development initiatives.

The study also demonstrated that poor economic status of origin households is an important explanatory variable for the out-migration of its members and their remittance behavior. Thus, remittances made by out-migrants were crucial resources for many households to overcome capital constraints or to ensure their survival. However, no evidence was found that remittances were channeled to economically productive investment. Therefore, policy measures to provide households with income-generating opportunities and encourage the utilization of remittances for development were suggested.

For this study, UN-INSTRAW has partnered with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in order to examine the impact and potential of remittances for making positive contributions to sustainable and gender-sensitive local development in the rural Philippines. One of the particular features of this investigation was the active participation of an association of Filipina migrant women in Rome, Italy, the Filipino Women's Council (FWC) in the research process. After the first section with the theoretical framework that guided the research process, followed by a brief overview of the study's main objectives and the methodology used in the collection and analysis of the data, part two characterizes the migratory and remittance flows between the Philippines and Italy, and provides an overview of some of the key factors currently working on initiatives linked to migration, remittances and development. This is followed by an analysis of remittances' impact and potential for promoting gender- sensitive sustainable rural development and food security in the communities of origin studied. The fourth section of this paper highlights some of the conclusions reached during a validation workshop in which Filipino migrants in Rome met with the project researchers to discuss this study's results and explore possible initiatives for future action. Finally, the conclusions of this study are presented along with a series of recommendations for future policy and research in this area.--Publisher's description

This publication is the result of theoretical reflections and empirical studies carried out by the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW). It explores what other issues, beyond remittances alone, constitute strategic topics for deeper analysis. The broader aim is to create - from a gender perspective - a positive synergy between migration and development. This publication is evidence of the need to consider and debate new paradigms in order to identify public policies and programmes which make gender equality central to development, and which recognize women as leaders in different spheres of action.

Migration in the modern world, rather than being seen as a symptom or result of underdevelopment, is now understood more as a route towards development and a strategy for alleviating poverty. This study of Albania is particularly significant in this new debate on migration and development as, since the fall of communism, remittances have been a major supporter of the Albanian economy, sustaining many Albanian families, especially in rural areas. The authors thus focus on the socio-cultural context of remittances, and explore how gender emerges as a powerful facet in the processes of development. It will therefore be of interest to scholars and students in Migration Studies, Development Studies, Gender Studies, Geography and Anthropology, as well as offering vital analysis for policy-makers, donors and civil society activists engaged in development planning and migration management.
