Managing recruitment, risk, and reintegration: Ethiopian domestic workers and the migration industry
Over the past 30 years, an increasing number of young Ethiopian women have migrated to the Arab Gulf States. Their precarious working conditions and associated vulnerabilities have received considerable attention, often alongside critiques of the kafala system of temporary migrant labour governance in the region. Less attention has been paid to the sending state's complicity in upholding the system. This article examines the infrastructures and m…
More than Maids: Social Mobility Experiences Among Ethiopian Women Migrating to the United Arab Emirates
The migration of Ethiopian women to the Middle East has primarily been studied in connection with domestic labour and the related vulnerabilities. Due to assumptions about the low educational levels of women entering this sector, as well as the precarity and temporality the sector entails, opportunities for social mobility have been largely overlooked. This article examines changes in Ethiopian women’s labour market participation in the United Ar…

Gendered socialization patterns, gendered norms and gendered roles highly affect the migration trends in defining who migra…

Such trends of homogenization often hide the diverse social classes within these groups and the differential access co-nationals have across such social classes. Moreover, such discourses conceal the differences in migrants' migration trajectories and related variances in their over…
