Examines the structural inequalities facing migrant women in the 2 countries by looking at migration regimes, gendered work environments, and social entitlements

Highlights/Relevance:

• A contextual piece

• Sending country developments that have pushed women's migration

• Info on Canadian migration "regimes" and changes to welfare state influenced by neoliberalism

• Why/how women disadvantaged in labour market and by entitlements rules

• Definition of gender and migration regime

• Development of post-Marshallian citizenship

Key Takeaways:

• Need to consider factors that push 3W women into migration and how their triple disadvantage in Canada might affect their experiences and ultimately the extent to which they adopt changed gender identities/ideologies

Weaknesses:

• Aside from some contextual information, really not that useful
