It describes recent changes and trends, and addresses some of the most salient issues on the participation and experiences of female migrants. It deals with the social and economic reasons underlying the increasing autonomous migration of women, particularly on the interconnections between the South-American economic restructuring and the increasing demand of female migrants by the service and care sectors. Further issues are examined, such as the potential effects of the migration process on women's empowerment; the emergence of global chains of care and its relation with long-distance motherhood; and the labor market experiences of female migrant. Finally, the report also deals with the dark side of the women's migration: female trafficking.

It aims at identifying factors that affect the gender composition of migratory streams, including family formation and children. It compares two contrasting streams: Mexican migration to the United States, which has traditionally been male-dominated; and Paraguayan migration to Argentina, which comprises a larger proportion of women with patterns of migration relatively similar to those of their male counterparts. Using quantitative information from the Mexican Migration Project and the Paraguayan Migration Survey, and qualitative in-depth interviews, the authors examine differences in patterns of migration and the factors associated with them. The article concludes that differences are due mainly to historical traits in the initiation of the flows, the economic and social role of women in each sending country, migration policies and border controls, and the contexts of reception (resource opportunities).

La emigración de Paraguaya Argentina estuvo influenciada por diversos factores sociales, económicos y políticos que operaron a ambos lados de la .frontera, siendo uno de los factores clave la estructura productiva del Paraguay. Este trabajo se basa en la información obtenida en dos investigaciones sucesivas: la primera, "Paraguayan Labor Migration toAr gen tina ';fue realizada entre 1999y 2000y financiada por la Fundación Mellon a través de The Population 5tudies Center de la Universidad de Pennsylvania y la otra, ''Dinámica e impacto de la migración del Perú y del Paraguaya la Argentina '; fue llevada a cabo entre 2003 y 2004, con financiamiento de la Fundación Mac Arthur.

This article contributes to the understanding of migration movements between the Latin American countries by analyzing patterns of labor migration from two Paraguayan communities to Argentina. The analysis separates the process of migration into four segments representing different migration decisions that Paraguayan men face throughout their life course: first trip, first return, recurrent trips, and duration of additional trips. Results confirm that Paraguayan migration to Argentina is closely related to individual characteristics and wealth, the extent of migrant networks and experience, and changes in macroeconomic conditions. The relative importance of these factors on migration varies depending on the aspect of mi ration under consideration. More enerally, the analysis shows that migrants to Argentina tend to be positively selected with respect to educational attainment and skills. This reflects the higher transferability of skills between the two countries and the absence of large urban centers attracting internal migrants in Paraguay. In addition, results show that migration between Paraguay and Argentina is very responsive to fluctuations in macroeconomic conditions, particularly income differentials and peso over-valuation. Government policies oriented towards the regulation of migration flows in the Southern Cone should pay closer attention to the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on migration decisions, especially in the context of the Mercosur agreement. un P ike migration between Mexico a n f the United States, Paraguayan During the past three decades, Latin American countries have experienced a significant internationalization of their labor markets (Lattes et a l , 1998;

This increase has been a result neither of improvements in the conditions of labor supply nor due to the diversi®cation of the structure of occupational opportunities available for women. Using cross-sectional and panel data I show that most of the growth in female LFP can be explained as a response to increasing unemployment and job instability associated with the implementation of structural adjustment policies since 1991. I argue that more women have decided to look for work as a way to reduce householdsÕ economic uncertainty.
