ABSTRACT

This article stems from a gender-specific examination of migration decision-making and remittance behavior as a proxy for the creation of gendered transnational spaces when faced with macro-economic challenges in Europe. The research is quantitative and includes the analysis of 2,702 Latvian migrants in receiving countries. Gendered transnational spaces for women manifest themselves in remittance behavior and are influenced more by emotional attachment; in contrast, men are more inclined to send monetary remittances. Prior supervenience stems from emigration decision-making, where economic issues, the search for opportunities, and family and education-related aspects are all relevant to men and women respectively.

摘要

本文源于对移民决策和汇款行为的性别特定检查，作为在欧洲面临宏观经济挑战时创建性别化跨国空间的代理。该研究是定量的，包括对接收国 2,702 名拉脱维亚移民的分析。女性的性别跨国空间体现在汇款行为上，更多地受到情感依恋的影响；相比之下，男性更倾向于汇款。先前随附源于移民决策，其中经济问题、寻找机会以及家庭和教育相关方面都分别与男性和女性相关。
