Abstract

The feminization of migration flows, that is, an increase in the share of women in the total number of migrants, is recognized by experts as a characteristic feature of the latest stage in the development of international labor migration. This is largely due to structural changes in the world economy, which are accompanied by globalization processes. The increasing dominance of the service sector in the employment structure forms the need of developed countries for migrant women employed in unskilled labor in the service sector

Keywords:
