WOMEN’S MIGRATION FROM AN EASTERN EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE. THE CASE OF ROMANIAN WOMEN MIGRANTS IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN COUNTRIES
WOMEN’S MIGRATION FROM AN EASTERN EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE. THE CASE OF ROMANIAN WOMEN MIGRANTS IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: Our paper has started from what the statistics clearly show – the high share of women migrants in the total number of migrants. The phenomenon is often call “feminisation” of migration, suggesting that it is a new tendency. It is accepted that this phenomenon is not a new one, but the researches started to focus on this issue only in the 80’s and have become a widespread topic in the more recent years. The interest for women migration is high not only because of the size and share in the international migration flow, but also because of its specificity concerning migration reasons, strategies, and impact on women’s professional and personal life. Romanian migration, which is one of the most important among the Eastern European countries, also registers a high share of women in the total flow. Based on empirical micro research, our paper presents the main typologies of Romanian women migrants in two Northern countries (Denmark and the Netherlands) and in two Southern countries (Spain and Greece).
