  • Male labour migration, spousal communication, and STI treatment in Armenia

    Arusyak Sevoyan, Victor AgadjanianARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2015

    This study aims to add to the scant research on the association between labour migration and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It builds upon earlier findings suggesting that left-behind migrants' wives tend to have higher risks of contracting STIs than women married to non-migrants. Using data from a 2007 survey in rural Armenia, a post-Soviet patriarchal setting with high levels of seasonal male migration and high rates of STIs, we examin…

    Open AccessBoaventura Manuel Cau, Arusyak Sevoyan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2013

    The influence of religion on health remains a subject of considerable debate both in developed and developing settings. This study examines the connection between the religious affiliation of the mother and under-five mortality in Mozambique. It uses unique retrospective survey data collected in a predominantly Christian area in Mozambique to compare under-five mortality between children of women affiliated to organized religion and children of n…

  • Contraception and Abortion in a Low-Fertility Setting

    Arusyak Sevoyan, Victor AgadjanianARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2013

    Research on the association between migration and fertility regulation remains scarce. 2] According to a study among women in Malaysia, migrants were less likely than nonmigrants to use contraceptives; 4 the researchers speculate that their finding may reflect migrant women's greater likelihood of being separated from their spouse before and after migration. Among Guatemalan women, those separated from their husband because of migration or other …

  • Embedding or Uprooting? The Effects of International Labour Migration on Rural Households in Armenia

    Open AccessVictor Agadjanian, Arusyak SevoyanARTICLEInternational Migration2013Cited by: 10References: 5

    The impact of international labour migration on human wellbeing and socioeconomic development in communities of origin is an important yet understudied issue in contemporary migration research. This study examines whether men's labour migration from rural Armenia to Russia and other international destinations enhances the economic and social connections of the left‐behind households to their communities or, on the contrary, undermines those conne…

  • Male Migration, Women Left Behind, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Armenia

    Open AccessArusyak Sevoyan, Victor AgadjanianARTICLEInternational Migration Review2010Cited by: 5References: 32

    The effect of male circular labor migration on risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among women left behind has not been well studied. Our study examines this effect using data from a survey of 1,240 married women in rural Armenia, where international male labor migration has traditionally been very common. A multivariate comparison of women married to migrants and women married to non-migrants finds that the former, ceteris paribus, rep…

  • Husbands' labour migration and wives' autonomy, Mozambique 2000-2006

    T Yabiku, Scott T Yabiku et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2010Cited by: 30References: 31

    The separation of migrants from the family unit, as a result of labour migration, can have profound effects on family organization and the lives of family members. Using data from a 2006 survey of 1,680 married women from 56 villages in southern Mozambique, we examined the relationship between men's labour migration and the decision-making autonomy of women who stayed behind. The results show that both men's cumulative migration history and curre…
