Peruvians have migrated for centuries, but only within the past four decades have they migrated internationally in such large numbers. Scholars of Peruvian migration have studied Peruvian communities in countries such as Argentina, Spain, Italy, Chile, Bolivia, and the United States. Within the United States, however, such research is limited to a handful of cities such as Los Angeles, California, Paterson, New Jersey, and Miami, Florida. This study examines the female Peruvian community in Central Florida, including their likely path of migration to the area, what changes in gender roles and relationships that they may have experienced as a result of such migration, and how those changes are displayed. I argue that, as a result of the female-led migration chain in Florida that originally led from Peru to Miami, and then to Central Florida, women are asserting themselves in the public sphere much more than previously thought by scholars of Peruvian migration. In order to study all of these factors, I have examined literature on Peruvian migration and international Latina migration. My conclusions are based on a synthesis of this data, as well as anthropological participant observation.

We employ 2011 European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data for Austria to perform Markovian mobility matrix analysis and uni- and multivariate econometric analysis to study intergenerational educational mobility by gender and migration background. We find that the educational attainment of girls and migrants relative to their parents is less mobile than for boys and natives. Further, the immobility of educational attainment is enhanced by the intersection of these identities: migrant girls are the least educationally mobile group and are especially likely to follow their mothers 19 educational footsteps, while native boys are the most mobile, especially compared to their mothers. / Series: WWWforEurope

In the light of the recent developments occurred in the domestic sector in Europe and the debate on the externalisation of domestic and care activities, this research explores the impact of gender, care and migration regimes on migrant domestic work. While the number of migrant domestic workers is increasing everywhere in Europe, the cross-national differences in the ethnicisation of the sector remain significant and depend on multiple factors. The literature on domestic work has long recognised the role of welfare/care regimes in determining the degree of externalisation of domestic and care activities and the role of migration regimes in attracting migrant workers. Additionally, the gender regime can also be crucial to understand the recent developments of paid domestic work in Europe.In this dissertation, I present the findings of a quantitative study conducted at the European level, aimed at exploring the interconnection of care, gender and migration regimes and their impact on migrant domestic work in Europe. For this, I have conducted a two-step analysis. First, I have created three typologies of countries, one for each regime, based on relevant indicators, which allowed me to identify clusters of countries that behave similarly with respect to the three regimes. Then, I have tested the effect of the typologies on the ethnicisation of the domestic sector. The findings suggest that the three regimes do have an effect on the concentration of migrants in the domestic sector, and that this effect is greater when the three regimes are taken into account simultaneously. / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

It deserves scholarly attention because it is a vulnerable social group and susceptible to various kinds of violence, particularly child labor, sexual exploitation, human trafficking and human rights violations. The immigrants are subjected to unskilled work as maids and nannies, with long working hours and no labor rights. As immigrants, they enter Brazil irregularly and does not have legal documentation. Given this situation, this dissertation aims to analyze the daily mobility of women in Guyanese Brazil-Guyana border, in particular for the city of Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima, for domestic labor purposes in homes such brazilians women. For it uses theoretical perspectives female and migrations of International Relations in analyzing the data collected through field research, consulting sites, official agencies and expert sources on the subject, as well as literature. Wanted also identify the catalytic role of social networks formed between Guyanese immigrants to the growth of social phenomenon. Finally, it is a critical analysis of the integration of Guyanese women in the labor market and Roraima society, noting that the violation of rights is a daily routine and that there is need for public policies for this social group for the conquest of autonomy and social and economic emancipation. / A migração de mulheres é um fenômeno social que vem ocorrendo na fronteira entre Brasil e Guiana. Merece a atenção acadêmica por se tratar de um grupo social vulnerável e suscetível a vários tipos de violência, em particular trabalho quase escravo, exploração sexual, tráfico de seres humanos e violações dos direitos humanos. As imigrantes são submetidas a trabalhos não qualificados, como empregadas domésticas e babás, com extensa carga horária de trabalho e sem direitos trabalhistas. Elas entram no Brasil de forma irregular, não possuindo documentação legal. Diante desse quadro, esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a mobilidade cotidiana de mulheres guianenses na fronteira Brasil-Guiana, em particular para a cidade de Boa Vista (RR), para fins de trabalho doméstico em casas brasileiras. Para tal, utiliza-se perspectivas teóricas do gênero feminino e de migrações das Relações Internacionais na análise dos dados coletados por meio de pesquisa in loco, consulta a sites, órgãos oficiais e fontes especializadas relativos à temática, além de pesquisa bibliográfica. Procura-se, ainda, identificar o papel catalisador das redes sociais, formadas entre as imigrantes guianenses, para o crescimento do fenômeno social em questão. Por último, faz-se uma análise crítica da inserção das mulheres guianenses no mercado laboral e na sociedade roraimense, constatando-se que a violação de direitos é uma rotina diária e que há necessidade de políticas públicas voltadas para esse grupo social, para a conquista da autonomia e emancipação social e econômica.
