Gender, Migration and Multiple Livelihoods: Cases from Eastern and Southern Africa
研究肯尼亚、莱索托和南非的移民输出地，分析城市就业机会减少对农村生计的影响，以及性别关系如何影响人们构建多元生计的能力。
Focussing on Kenya, Lesotho and South Africa, this study examines the social impact in migrant-labour source areas of dramatically reduced employment prospects in urban areas. It considers the implications for rural livelihoods and the role which gender relations play in making possible, or impeding, people's ability to construct diversified livelihoods. When livelihoods change, gendered rights, responsibilities and power must be renegotiated. Husbands and wives may acknowledge interdependencies and negotiate, or they may disengage. Marriages may break down, or women become reluctant to marry at all, as the material basis of the household is undermined. These outcomes do not represent social breakdown, but residential instability is likely to become more common.
