Gender stratification in global migration flows

Under the influence of a number of global factors, the need to study the peculiarities of gender stratification in the context of modern global migration processes is becoming more urgent.The emphasis is placed on the growing feminisation of international migration, as well as on the structural inequalities faced by women migrants at different stages of mobility -from the decision to leave to adaptation in the destination countries.This leads to the justification of the need for a gendersensitive migration policy that would take into account the social, economic and legal challenges faced by women migrants in the globalised world.Recommendations on integration policy and protection of women's rights in a cross-border context are offered.
