The Migration of Women: Methodological Issues in the Measurement and Analysis of Internal and International Migration

INSTRAW, 120 p. Santo Domingo, 1994. INSTRAW/SER.B/46, ISBN-92-1-127005-7, Sales No. E.95.ill.C.1 (US$15.75) (Second Edition) (E) T

The purpose of this Portfolio is to describe and

disseminate information on women/gender and

development for use in a variety of situations.

Our aim is to promote the sharing and effective

utilization of the knowledge about the interaction

of gender relations in development planning and

its effect on the status of women worldwide, to

positively influence development policies and

help make them more responsive to the needs '

of both men and women.

The Migration of Women provides an in-depth

look at some of the problems convibuting to the neglect of research on Third w'o rld women's

internal and international migration. From a

methodological perspective it focuses on the

inadequacies in exist ing data on women's

migration. The publication presents concrete

recommendations on how to improve statistics

and indicators on migration, by eliminating

existing biases and misrepresentations, and

analyzes the determinants and consequences of

women's migration. This publication was

prepared in collaboration with the International

Organization for Migration (IOM) and the

Population Division of the United Nations

Measurement and Valuation of Unpaid Contribution: Accounting through Time and Output

Women Environmental Management and Sustain­able Development. Modular Training Package

INSTRAW/SER.B/48, ISBN-92-1-1270006-5. Sales No. E.95.ill.C.2. (E)T

This publication is the first product of a major

research project which examines the existing

economic accounts and statistics. While the

need to measure and value unpaid work was first

identified nearly two decades ago at the First

International Women's Conference, the ~esearch

presented in this book concludes that

housework, child care, elderly care, and other

non-market activities are not yet valued in economic development. It describes some tools

for measuring and valuing unpaid contributions

to social and economic development and aims

at facilitating unbiased measurement of

women's contribution to productive activity.

This training package was prepared by

INSTRAW, in collaboration with the

International Training Centre of ILO, Turin. It

was prepared in response and as a follow-up to

the United Nations Conference on Environment

and Development (UNCED). The package aims

to contribute to an integrated approach in the

organization and management of environmental

policies and programmes through the integration

of women's needs as well as their participation

in planning, management, implementation and evaluation of environmental programmes and

projects. It consists of an Introduction and four

Modules (in bound volumes), plus trans­

parencies and video cassettes and a trainer's

guide.

Targeting media people, the handbook .aims at

contributing to a more gender-sensitive media,

by presenting arguments and issues concerning

the power of the media and the representation

of women in it . It provides a checklist designed

to help people working in media programming

and decision-making be more aware of the

gender bias in the use of language and images. It also provides recommendations on how to

promote women's participation in the media .

Based on how development planners and policy

makers commonly understand and mis­

understand the concept of gender, the booklet

explains the evolution of the concept and how

it has been addressed in development

strategies. It is intended to help development

planners and policy makers understand the

concept of gender and introduce a gender

perspective in the ir work. It aims at closing the

gap between gender concepts and at applying

these concerns in policies, programmes and

day-to-day work.

This monograph presents a global overview of

major credit programmes that have provided

credit to women in the last decade. It includes .

a discussion of the importance of credit to

women ; women' s limited access to credit from

commercial sources; and the positive impact

credit has on women recipients and their

fami lies. It addresses policy aspects, both for

the private and public sectors, and presents

recommendations for f urther research .

development and attempts to clarify the political and theoretical issues that are at stake in the debate on this topic. The authors proposed their own ideas as to the basic elements they consider necessary in constructing a paradigmatic shift in thinking about these

issues. Values such as holism, mutuality, justice, autonomy, self-reliance and peace are

presented as some of the basic elements.

The statistics cover several fields: population and households, health, paid and unpaid work, income, education, crime and decision-making.
