Keywords: migration; feminization
Summary/Abstract: What is understood by ‘feminization’ of migration and in which broader context can it be conceptualized? How does it effect the dynamics of gender arrangements in the family, community and society? Is there awareness of this issue among Ukrainian scholars, policy-makers, civil society and general public? If so, how can a gender-focused research effect reflections on migration policy-making? This paper tackles these issues and seeks to identify policy options that might contribute to the development of coherent and socially sustainable gender-sensitive strategies for migration management, allowing to better match demand for migrant workers in hosting countries with supply in safe, humane and orderly ways.
