Abstract
Women play an important economic and demographic role in contemporary migrations not only in Europe but throughout the world. This chapter distinguishes and classifies various trends in the literature concerning women and migration. It is devoted to the process of female migration and the way in which various studies have analysed the determinants of female migration and the sex selectivity in the migratory movements. Migratory movements under certain circumstances and in certain contexts concern men only or predominantly, in others women tend to predominate. Migration is a sex selective process. The majority of works that appeared in the second half of the seventies can be classified under this subheading. There is a radical shift of focus from the family and migrant women as dependants to other spheres, in particular, their role as waged workers.
