Be it an indigenously or exogenously driven process, gender roles play an important partin the mechanisms affecting changes in a society. It has been theorized that migration createsa real challenge to the persistent patriarchal structure and gender stereotypes withinand outside the households of migrant workers in their country of origin. Otherwise usingdata from an empirically designed longitudinal ethnographic research, this paper arguesthat migration hardly brings out stable or enduring structural changes in the traditionalgender roles in women’s lives at the micro level. Instead, migration brings forth a set ofsimultaneous interplays into gender roles. Particularly, the change in migrant women’sroles within households is not perceived to affect the overall micro level social structure.It is simply a partial and short-term outcome of an exogenous process. Migration-inducedchanges in gender roles arbitrarily shake, strain and disrupt the existing social, culturaland institutional foundations on the micro level. The study finds strong evidence that thelong-term impact of arbitrary changes in gender roles causes a number of micro socialissues. The consequences of these issues insidiously impair the long-term developmentalcapabilities of migrant households in the country of origin.

This article discusses results from recent research on the labor migration of Ukrainians to Spain. We begin with a brief description of migratory flows in European countries in the last decades, Spain as a recent destination for international migrants, the conditions that led Ukrainians to migrate and their volume of growth in the Spanish territory. We then shift focus and present the results of an investigation aimed at the current dimension of integration through employment of Ukrainians residing in Spain; this group represents the largest non-EU immigrant population from Eastern Europe. The data obtained through in-depth interviews are analyzed, and some significant conclusions are drawn. This paper contributes to the literature on migrants’ employment and integration and presents novel insights into labor mobility flows from Eastern to Southern Europe.

This paper focuses on Ukrainian remitting migrants in the Czech Republic. Empirical evidence from two unique survey questionnaires carried out in Western Ukraine in 2010 and 2011 was used to test our hypotheses. The households in the 2010 survey were selected using the snowballing sampling in order to rule out remitting migrants residing in countries, other than the Czech Republic. The households for the 2011 survey were selected by randomly choosing parishes and primary schools in Zakarpat’ye district of Western Ukraine. Both remittance-receiving households and households without remittances were included in both surveys. The analysis of the data obtained with the help of both surveys helped us to build a profile of a typical Ukrainian migrant who is sending remittances. The paper’s outcomes contribute to the research literature on migration and remittances and bring some novel insights of migrations in Central and Eastern Europe.
