Description
Book SynopsisDrawing together the latest research on migration, gender and COVID-19, this erudite Research Handbook contributes to a better understanding of the immediate and longer-term implications of the pandemic on gender dynamics and roles in international migration. Providing a wealth of expert critical analysis, it considers post-COVID-19 realities and assesses the future scope of research in this interdisciplinary field of study.
Capturing multi-disciplinary insights and diverse geographies, the Research Handbook explores migration in all of its facets, from displacement and internal and international mobility to return migration and labour mobility. Chapters address topical issues relating to the policy and programmatic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for migration and migrants from a gender perspective. Marie McAuliffe and Céline Bauloz, alongside leading researchers and academics, present a major contribution to scholarly inquiry which is crucial for informing inclusive and sustainable responses to improve migrants’ wellbeing and protection.
Offering a state-of-the-art review of the implications of COVID-19 on migration through the lens of gender, this Research Handbook will provide a thought-provoking resource for students and researchers in demography, migration studies, geography, political science, sociology and international law. Its critical examination of policy and programmatic interventions designed to address gender inequalities in migration will also be of significant interest to policymakers and practitioners.
