What are policies that countries could use to mitigate the adverse effects of the feminization of poverty and the feminization of migration? How are the feminization of poverty and the feminization of migration related?
Feminization of proverty refers to a
trend of choices and opportunities as the ability to lead a long
healthy and creative life and enjoying basic rights like freedom,
respect and dignity and it has been focusing on income, assets,
time, health deprivations and social and cultural exclusions.
Some policy are following for addressing current and
intergenerational proverty of feminization.
Those are conditional cash transfer, microcredit, welfare reform in
the US etc. Conditional cash transfer is a policy for poor women in
the role as mothers are given the additional work burden imposed.
Microcredit can also be potential policy for not having a solid
financial condition women's.
Feminization of migration is a
multidimensional phenomenon. In 2015, women compromised 48 percent
of all international migrants world wide. There is huge demand for
migrant women's labor in the care, domestic and manufacturing
sectors of destination countries. Women have become independent
migrants or primary providers. Currently some women are move in
search for job as nannies, nurses, maids or sex workers. Women
moved $300.6 billion dollars in 2016 means that women earned as
much money as men.
Since the 1980s, the global economy has undergone a series of
changes that have led to the feminization of migration. Women enter
the workforce for help their families.
Woman migrant workers have been considered companions to their husbands and today's women are employed in their own right. In 2017, of the 168 million migrant workers, over 68 million were women. Women migrant workers send upwards of $300 billion in remittances to their countries of origin each year for their families basic health, housing and education needs. Women migrant workers followed professions such as domestic work. Several countries also prohibit women migrant workers from having sex or becoming pregnant.
