Youth migration is a global phenomenon, and it is gendered. This collection presents original studies on gender and youth migration from the 19th century onwards, from international and interdisciplinary perspectives.
An international group of contributors explore the imperial histories of youth migration, their identities and sexualities, the impact of education, policies and practices, and the roles, contribution and challenges of young migrants in certain industries and services, as well as in communities.
These cross-disciplinary themes include cases from Albania, Bangladesh, Canada, Ethiopia, France, Hungary, Italy, Philippines, Senegal, Syria, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
This chapter focuses on Catholic religious discourses and practices of gender equality in the contemporary Philippines. It looks at particular practices among Filipino Catholic women and examines the role of religion in the movement towards gender equality. Through ethnographic data in small communities in Eastern Visayas, participant observation, and a case study of two women from Leyte, the chapter provides insight into how religiosity is enmeshed with the aims of local women to improve their status in society. It also shows that even if the Catholic Church retains its prominent presence in the social fabric, and is very much a part of the rituals of life, the symbolism of its moral power, particularly in the lives of women, has been contested by lived experiences quite different from what is prescribed.
Gender is a factor of youth migration; it shapes the roles, capacities, access to resources, and cultural expectations in society. Gender defines who leaves and who stays behind in the place of origin, or the extent from which the youth travels outside of their own communities. This collection is possibly the first to present the intersection of gender and youth migration with encompassing themes related to imperial histories, negotiating identities, education, and work using diverse studies in Canada, France, Hungary, Bangladesh, Turkey, Italy, Albania, Ethiopia, U.K. and the U.S. Gendered modalities suggest that there are particular ways or modes in which gender as a system of power relations become manifest in youth migration, either voluntarily or coerced, and consequently, their negotiation of structures and limiting social practices.Gender and youth are intrinsically connected to migration, and this book is about these connections in multidisciplinary perspectives in an increasingly globalized world.

As issues about climate change, global warming, and the environment have become part of discourse and policy around the world, the relations between gender and labor market regimes arising in post-disaster communities seem paramount. Gender is a recognized aspect of the differences between men and women in survival rates and impact on their economic and social well-being during and after the onset of disasters. Post-disaster communities are unique in their own ways of survival, resilience, and dynamics of intervenors in reconstruction efforts and development strategies. Governments, non-profit organizations, international aid agencies, and individual philanthropy work together or independently to rebuild economies. The interplay of these actors in creating labor market regimes in post-disaster communities affects local populations: for example, who benefits from it, who participates in it, and how they participate. This chapter explores the relations between gender and labor market regimes in post-disaster communities. After a natural disaster, the gendered composition of households changes due to death and or migration. The issue of who is left behind is crucial to the household’s participation in employment and the type of employment generated. Feminist analysis infused data from fieldwork in urban and rural areas.
This chapter introduces gender and migration as the main focus of the book collection. It provides some conceptual examination of defining youth, youth in migration, and gender in youth migration. It presents the context of gendered modalities affecting youth mobility and the thematic organization of the fifteen chapters namely, imperial histories, negotiating identities, education, and work.
Bringing together the voices of local scholars in the Philippines, this book offers critical insights into one of the world’s most disaster-prone regions.
The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world, with the effects of climate change contributing to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent typhoons and floods. Case studies in this book examine such disasters, including the aftermath of 2013 super typhoon Haiyan. Discussions are centred around four themes: women and empowerment, economics and recovery, community and resilience, and religion and spirituality.
Through its analysis, the book demonstrates the scopes, inequities and inefficiencies of policies and responses, as well as forms of empowerment and resilience, in meeting challenges in disaster-afflicted communities in the Philippines. Its conclusions provide a more nuanced and grounded perspective of policies, practices and approaches in the sociology of disasters today.
