Abstract
Urban migration in the Philippines is increasingly female-dominant. A study of women migrants in one secondary city finds complex occupational and migration patterns, with women in both informal sector occupations and professional/clerical occupations. This article suggests that explanations of these patterns may be sought in analysis of family strategies. In particular, strategies of rural families for both survival and mobility play an important role in the migration of women.
