Migrant women navigating the intersection of gender, migration, and career development: A systematic literature review
系统综述了2000至2023年间38本期刊中关于移民女性职业发展的研究，发现现有研究集中于经济发达国家、忽视非正规工作及多元需求，为政策制定和未来研究提供参考。
This article reports on a systematic literature review that investigated the current state of knowledge on migrant women's career development within the two fields of migration studies and career development/vocational psychology. Migrant women, a heterogeneous population, undergo significant transitions navigating post-migration uncertainties. A wide range of post-migration factors and experiences often adversely impact their career development in various contexts. By synthesizing multidisciplinary research, this review focused on articles published in 38 major journals between 2000 and 2023 within the fields of ‘migration studies’ and ‘career development’. The findings highlight the methodologies employed, research participants including the nature of migration and destination countries, and conceptual/theoretical frameworks, and synthesize key findings and recommendations made in the articles. The comprehensive understanding gained through this review may inform policies that emphasize gender equity and sustainable development for migrant women and host countries. The review highlights gaps in career development and vocational psychology literature, such as the lack of localized research approaches that consider the specific contexts and systemic influences that impact migrant women's career development. This review contributes new perspectives on migrant women's career development, enriching career development and vocational psychology research, theory, and practice. • We conducted a systematic literature review on the state of knowledge on migrant women's career development. • We found an exclusive focus on migrant women in economically developed countries. • A predominant research focus on paid work overlooks broader career development-related complexities. • Little research explored the diverse needs of women at the intersection of gender, migration, and career development. • To devise tailored solutions, research and practice must consider diverse contexts and systems shaping career development.
