移徙女性化作为一种独立现象首次在亚洲国家显现，至今已有40年。大量妇女跨越政治边界，导致一些问题的出现，特别是在社会科学文献中越来越多地被记录在案。《流动中的生活：菲律宾移民妇女及其多种流动性》一书的作者是日本社会学家中研究这一主题的先驱之一。Ogaya发表了几篇重要的期刊论文，这本期待已久的书从性别角度审视了移民和社会流动。利用来自菲律宾各地的案例研究，世界各地的移民妇女的主要来源国之一，作者构建了一个新的概念，移民描述为“生活在多元流动”。这些“多元流动”包括阶级和经济流动，改变了跨国空间和性别关系。这本书通过重新分析和努力重新叙述移民研究中以前的作品，特别关注和关注性别的影响，为该领域做出了重大贡献。它从输出国的角度观察移徙现象，并让作者在过去十年实地工作中遇到的实际人发出声音。本书共分三节八章。第一章阐述了对移民研究的理论分析，指出目前缺乏以性别为重点的观点。第一节以下两章通过对菲律宾农村和城市地区的个案研究，对移徙问题进行了性别分析。第一章梳理了Mrsovasic（1983）提出的移民研究问题，包括：（a）如何将性别、阶级和民族/种族的理论框架引入实证分析，（B）如何呈现结构性规定与移民能动性之间的关系。此外，本章还介绍了以前的研究，试图回答Zavavasic的问题，包括结构方法和网络分析。在查阅了有关文献之后，作者接着集中讨论了两个研究课题，以解决Shirvasic提出的问题：（a）移徙妇女的组织和赋予权力的进程，这是本书第二部分的重点;（B）社会流动与接收社会，包括返回者之间的关系，本书第三部分对此进行了探讨。第二章和第三章通过在菲律宾农村和城市地区收集的数据，对移民的发送方观点进行了研究，因为作者批评了以前文献对接收国立场的过度关注。第二章讨论了性别规范如何对人们造成移徙压力，以及移徙如何对家庭内的性别关系产生影响。此外，作者还解释了妇女如何通过逃避农村地区传统的性别规范来建立自己的职业生涯。与此相反，第三章探讨了城市背景及其“矛盾流动”，其中经济向上流动和社会向下流动同时发生的生育劳动者。
It has been four decades since the feminization of migration first became apparent as a stand-alone phenomenon in Asian countries. The massive number of women moving across political borders has led to the rise of several issues being increasingly documented, notably within the social sciences literature. The author of Idō wo ikiru: Firipin ijū josei to fukusū no mobiritī (Living in Motion: FilipinoMigrant Women and their Multiple Mobilities) has been one of the pioneers researching this topic among sociologists in Japan. Ogaya has published several important journal papers and this recent, long-awaited book examines migration and social mobility from a gender perspective. Utilizing case studies from across the Philippines, one of the primary countries of origin of migrant women worldwide, the author constructs a new concept of migration described as ‘living in plural mobilities.’These ‘plural mobilities’ include class and economic mobility, which transform transnational spaces and gender relations. This book makes a significant contribution to the field by re-analyzing and diligently re-narrating previous works in migration studies, with specific attention and focus on the impact of gender. It observes migratory phenomena from the perspective of the sending country and gives voice to actual people the author encountered during her fieldwork over the past decade. This book consists of three sections and eight chapters. The first chapter articulates a theoretical analysis of migration studies, pointing out that there has been a lack of gender-focused viewpoints. The following two chapters of the first section provide a gendered analysis of migration through case studies of rural and urban areas of the Philippines. Chapter One organizes migration studies issues raised by Morocvasic (1983), including:(a) how to introduce a theoretical framework for gender, class, and ethnicity/race into empirical analysis, and (b) how to present the relationship between structural provisions and migrants’ agency. In addition, the chapter describes previous research that has sought to answer Morocvasic’s questions, including structural approaches and network analysis. After reviewing the relevant literature, the author then focuses on two research subjects to tackle the questions introduced by Morocvasic:(a) migrant women’s organization and processes of empowerment, the focus of the second part of the book; and (b) the relationship between social mobility and the receiving society, including returnees, which is examined in the third part of the book. Chapters Two and Three engage with the sending-side perspectives of migrants through data collected in rural and urban areas of the Philippines, as the author criticizes the previous literature’s excessive focus on the standpoint of receiving countries. Chapter Two discusses how gender norms put pressure on people to migrate and how migration makes an impact on gender relations within households. Also, the author explains how women establish their careers by moving to escape traditional gender norms in rural areas. In contrast, Chapter Three explores the urban context and its ‘contradictory mobility’in which economic upward mobility and social downward mobility occur at the same time for reproductive laborers.
