"In this paper, the question of social change for women as actors of migration is examined.
Apart from feminist theory and international gender studies, this topic is located in migration
studies and social theory as well. It is proposed to analyse the transformation of gender
norms in processes of migration in connection with the changes taking place in the domain of
labour, namely the increasing tertiarisation in post-industrial societies on the one hand, and a
globalising economy and international distribution of labour following from this on the other. A
concept for transnational gender orders is outlined, proposing that, along with these economic
and structural processes, normative requirements and ascriptions for social actors are
emerging as well. They target the gender performance of women as actors of migration, insofar
as an assumed universal gender socialisation as women is becoming a qualification
and resource in an international distribution of labour." [author's abstract]... view less
