“…A noteworthy issue in economic dependency is the depletion of generational wealth and the sustenance of generational poverty usually evident in African communities (Kagotho 2020). Being African and female predisposed the participants to economic hardship due to the financial responsibility to families in Kenya, cultural exclusions on inheritance, gender pay gaps and racial prejudices.…”

“…The majority of female migrants work in informal and low-paying jobs which deprive them of financial security (O'Neil et al 2016;Maymon 2017) and predispose them to poverty in old age. Kagotho (2020) and Musangi (2017), writing from a Kenyan (African) perspective note that culture impacts women's financial security because most customary laws exclude women from family inheritance. Although the Kenyan constitutional property law supersedes other laws in theory, in practice, it is not completely upheld due to women's lack of legal knowledge and access among other factors.…”

“…Although the Kenyan constitutional property law supersedes other laws in theory, in practice, it is not completely upheld due to women's lack of legal knowledge and access among other factors. In the migration context, women remit more than men (Hagen-Zanker and Foresti 2018), further depleting their resources and impacting generational wealth (Kagotho 2020).…”

The emphasis on migration for development obscures its diverse challenges. The migration development nexus is paradoxical, problematic, and controversial. Remittances have long gained wide interest. Migrants’ subjective experiences are important in understanding overall migration outcomes. International African female migration has increased and it is underexplored. This paper investigates the psychosocial stressors of migration based on the lived experiences of Kenyan female migrants in Austria. A sample of 6 female migrants was selected. Narrative data were recorded and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings showed that migration resulted in troubled relationships within the core and extended families. The economic dependency of family members in Kenya caused conflicts in interracial marriages. Acculturation led to alienation, family separation and isolation. Achieving economic goals proved challenging due to unpredictable effects in Austria. Failed expectations driven by stereotypes about Europe resulted in disillusionment and high expenses. Routine racism and Black female body objectification affected the mental health of the participants. This article contributes to knowledge on international African migration and gender-specific issues concerning African female migrants. The results will inform policymakers, academia, future migrants and mental health providers. Further research on the effects of migration on African migrants is recommended.

To solve the problems of the traditional embedded software development teaching platform, such as the heavy load on the server side, resulting in the slow response speed and poor experience of users, this paper proposes a computer-aided English writing teaching model from the perspective of the Internet of things. Based on the cloud platform, the system manages the resources of computers scattered on the server and client, to improve the efficiency of resource retrieval. In addition, based on the fuzzy logic model, the system can evaluate and evaluate students’ knowledge and learning achievements according to students’ preferences for cognition and knowledge acquisition. The experimental results show that motivation (μmot), attitude (μatt), extroversion (μext) and self-esteem (µsel) are positively correlated with students’ performance, and the data are 0.608, 0.533, 0.595 and 0.477 respectively, while introversion (µint) and anxiety (µanx) are negatively correlated with students’ performance, and the data are -0.464, -0.618. Conclusion: from the perspective of the Internet of Things, the computer-assisted English writing teaching model has good performance and can play a positive role in improving students’ grades.
