dc.description.abstract	Gender is a crucial factor in understanding the dynamics of migration. It has now assumed an important position in migration research studies. Gender analysis explores the study of interactions and power relations among men and women, and the varying impacts on society, household and family and country. The ILO placed gender in the labour migration and development agenda of Asia , and initiated a policy oriented research project on it targeting several Asian countries. This report is a consequence of this. The Sri Lankan study gives a comprehensive and historical coverage on gender relations in Sri Lanka with respect to migration. The causes, effects and consequences of migration with the changing gender roles are well covered.	en_US
