The role of female domestic labor migration in ensuring family welfare and reducing poverty

Abstract

Women who go abroad to engage in domestic work are increasingly seen as an important economic resource, primarily contributing to increasing family income, investing in children’s education and healthcare, and improving housing conditions. At the same time, female migration also effects family relationships, social values, and gender roles. The article highlights not only the positive aspects of women’s migration in terms of poverty reduction but also addresses the social problems it can cause — such as family separations, challenges in child upbringing and psychology pressure. The findings of the study are significant for developing mechanism aimed at effectively managing female domestic work migration and protecting the socio-economic rights of migrant women
