Recommended: Negative and positive impact of migration on society

International migration has become a recognized issue of current economic and social life worldwide. However it is double-sided phenomenon, since it has both positive and negative effects and prospects for the countries and individuals affected by it. As a result, increasing cross-border mobility brought the topic of gender to the on-going academic discussion. Scholarly research on migration has also changed considerably in the past decade, basically from the women-focused research, with the core concept of ‘feminization’ to the more balanced analysis of gender. Along with all the benefits of changing the place of life and work, migration still brings hard challenges to the woman who either left their country or awaits their spouses. One-sided approach that avoids gender aspect in the study of such complex and important social phenomenon as migration may lead to the biases and wrong conclusions which are to its turn may result in unfair and ignoring social policies. Therefore, gender perspective brings certain objectivity to migration research.
