“…The importance of spread-out family networks has been demonstrated in research on historical migration (Pooley and Turnbull 1998;Hochstadt 1999), Asian rural Áurban migration (Trager 1984;Findley 1987;Lauby and Stark 1988;Root and DeJong 1991), and international migration from Mexico to the USA (Menjivar 1995;Massey and Espinosa 1997;Wilson 1998;Cerrutti and Massey 2001;Davis and Winters 2001;Palloni et al 2001;Davis et al 2002;Curran and Rivero-Fuentes 2003).…”

“…Women might well have had their own motives and strategies for migration, and previous research suggests that they did indeed play an active role in determining what happened (Cerrutti and Massey 2001;Bras 2003, pp. 228 Á30).…”

“…Moreover, social networks have a gendered nature that influences their effects in generating migration. Some studies have found that women's networks increase the migration of women while networks of men are more relevant for prospective male migrants (Cerrutti and Massey 2001;Curran and Rivero-Fuentes 2003, p. 289). Men and women have different sources of support and when there is a gender division in the destination labour market they may need different kinds of information and contacts.…”

This study explores the extent to which the presence and activities of siblings shaped the chances of women migrating to rural and urban areas in two rural areas of Belgium and the Netherlands during the second half of the nineteenth and first decades of the twentieth century. Shared-frailty Cox proportional hazard analyses of longitudinal data from historical population registers show that siblings exerted an additive impact on women's migration, independently of temporal and household characteristics. Just how siblings influenced women's migration depended on regional modes of production and on employment opportunities. In the Zeeland region, sisters channelled each other into service positions. In the Pays de Herve, where men and women found industrial work in the Walloon cities, women were as much influenced by their brothers' activities. Evidence is found for two mechanisms explaining the effects of siblings: microeconomic notions of joint-household decision-making and social capital theory.

“…A growing number of studies have demonstrated that variations in the process of family forma tion and reunification of migrants, independently of their mode of entry, affect their ulterior settlement strategies and integration outcomes, in both the US and Europe (for undocumented Mexicans in the US, see Hondeg nau-Sotelo 1994; for migrants from the recruitment countries in Germany see González-Ferrer 2006). Although most Mexican wives who followed their husbands northward do not participate in the US labour market, the labour behaviour of daughters and of wives who migrated jointly with their husbands resembles the men's behaviour much more (Hondegnau-Sotelo 1994; Cerruti & Massey 2001). In addition, the role of family networks has been shown to be distinct and, to some extent, more important for women than for men in both shaping their migration decision and their post-migration behaviour (Curran & Rivero 2003).…”

“…The migration literature has typically overlooked gender dynamics, assuming that most women migrate only for family reunification reasons as wives, mothers or daughters of male migrants (Zlotnik, 2003). However, the increasing magnitude of international migration in the recent decades led to a growing focus on women as independent migrants (Grieco and Boyd, 1998;Cerrutti and Massey, 2001;Erulkar et al, 2006;Dumont et al, 2007;Docquier et al, 2009). Looking at the non-economic determinants of female migration, previous studies differentiate three broad categories of factors: individual factors including age, marital status, role and position in the family, educational status and employment experience; family factors including size, structure, status; and societal factors including the community norms and cultural values that determine whether a woman can migrate or not and if she can, how and with whom she can do it (Grieco and Boyd, 1998).…”
