人们日益认识到，性别问题对于理解移徙过程、原因和后果至关重要。在南非，这是社会变革所固有的，助长了高水平的国内移徙和复杂的流动形式。虽然非洲的女性移徙通常被认为不如男性移徙普遍，而且主要与婚姻有关，但在南非，由于妇女越来越多地参与劳动力市场，国内移徙的女性化正在发生。在本文中，我们报告的性别差异的模式，趋势和决定因素的内部迁移的基础上收集的数据在2001年和2006年之间的人口监测系统在农村夸祖鲁-纳塔尔。我们发现，妇女比男子更有可能进行任何迁移，但在迁移趋势的性别差异不同的移民流量，妇女更有可能迁移到该地区比男子，男子更有可能向外迁移。婚姻抑制了向外移民，特别是妇女，但大多数妇女没有结婚;男女向外移民主要是为了就业。一半以上的女性移民（男性移民为35%）前往附近的农村地区。调查结果突出表明，这一人口的流动性很高，性别在多大程度上与决定移徙的进程密切相关。我们认为，这些调查结果的影响，测量的移徙和流动性，特别是卫生和社会政策和研究高度移动的人口在南部非洲。
Gender is increasingly recognized as fundamental to understanding migration processes, causes and consequences. In South Africa, it is intrinsic to the social transformations fueling high levels of internal migration and complex forms of mobility. While female migration in Africa has often been characterized as less prevalent than male migration, and primarily related to marriage, in South Africa a feminization of internal migration is underway, fueled by women’s increasing labor market participation. In this paper, we report sex differences in patterns, trends and determinants of internal migration based on data collected in a demographic surveillance system between 2001 and 2006 in rural KwaZulu-Natal. We show that women were somewhat more likely than men to undertake any migration, but sex differences in migration trends differed by migration flow, with women more likely to migrate into the area than men, and men more likely to out-migrate. Out-migration was suppressed by marriage particularly for women, but most women were not married; both men’s and women’s out-migrations were undertaken mainly for purposes of employment. Over half of female out-migrations (versus 35% of male out-migrations) were to nearby rural areas. The findings highlight the high mobility of this population and the extent to which gender is intimately related to the processes determining migration. We consider the implications of these findings for the measurement of migration and mobility, in particular for health and social policy and research among highly mobile populations in southern Africa.
