尽管它们对妇女赋权和移民适应具有更广泛的重要性，但决定性别关系和期望在移民过程中如何演变的社会和文化过程仍然知之甚少。在本文中，在达勒姆进行的一项调查的数据，本文以北卡罗来纳州和墨西哥的四个派遣社区为例，考察了家庭内部的劳动力结构和情感依恋是如何随着移民而变化的还有我们居住地、妇女人力资本禀赋、家庭特征和社会支持。利用定量和定性信息，研究的主要结论是，移徙与性别关系之间的关联在不同的性别层面上并不一致。在目的地重建家庭中的性别关系是一个动态过程，其中来自原籍社区的一些因素被抛弃，另一些因素被改变，还有一些因素得到加强。结果挑战的期望，移民妇女很容易将美国的行为模式和文化价值观，并说明选择性同化的重要性，了解伴随移民的性别关系的变化的多样性。
Despite their importance to women empowerment and migrant adaptation more generally, the social and cultural processes that determine how gender relations and expectations evolve during the process of migration remain poorly understood In this article, data from a survey conducted in Durham, North Carolina and four sending communities in Mexico are used to examine how the structures of labor power and emotional attachments within the family vary by migration and US. residency, women human capital endowments, household characteristics, and social support. Using both quantitative and qualitative information, the main finding of the study is that the association between migration and gender relations is not uniform across different gender dimensions. The reconstruction of gender relations within the family at the place of destination is a dynamic process in which some elements brought from communities of origin are discarded, others are modified, and still others are reinforced. Results challenge the expectation that migrant women easily incorporate the behavior patterns and cultural values of the United States and illustrate the importance of selective assimilation for understanding the diversity of changes in gender relations that accompany migration.
