本文探讨了不同的因素，可以解释性别选择性菲律宾劳动力移民在罗马，其中妇女约70%的这个民族。在对家政服务部门的劳动力需求进行分析之后，它探讨了"供应"方面，从菲律宾劳动力市场的经济条件到非经济限制因素，如意识形态和对性别的期望。研究结果表明，流动妇女对家乡家庭的承诺和义务普遍强于男性。然而，空间距离和经济独立性的提高可能为一些妇女提供了追求"利己"目标的机会，同时又保持了规范性性别角色所规定的"利他"角色。影响妇女自主权提高的重要因素是生命历程、家庭发展周期、阶级和移徙形式。
This article examines the different factors which may explain gender-selectivity among Filipino labor migrants in Rome, where women are around 70 percent of this nationality group. Following the analysis of labor demand in the domestic service sector, it explores ‘supply’ aspects, ranging from economic conditions within the Philippine labor market to noneconomic constraints, such as ideologies and expectations of gender. The research findings show that migrant women's commitments and obligations toward their households in home areas are generally stronger than those of their male counterparts. However, spatial distance and increased financial independence may provide some women with the opportunity to pursue ‘self-interested’ goals while at the same time keeping within the ‘altruistic’ role dictated by normative gender roles. Important elements affecting women's increased autonomy are life course paths, households’ developmental cycle, class and migration form.
