Description:
This summary presents the case study research that examines the gender dimensions of migration and remittances in the context of Albania and the destination country of Greece. Migrant women and men are already bearing the heavy burden of substituting fragmented and inadequate social and labour policies and systems in origin areas like rural Albania through financing the survival, health and education of their families. It is the responsibility of governments to provide adequate structures wherein further investment can lead to growth and improvement of freedoms and capabilities.
