gender , Poverty Reduction and Migration (Irena Omelaniuk, World Bank). Introduction Why discuss gender and Migration in the context of Poverty Reduction ? Of the 190 million or so migrants in the world today, almost 50% are females; many, possibly the majority having moved from and within developing countries. Of the $160 billion or so migrant remittances sent home to developing countries in 2004 (more than 166 billion in 2005), it is likely that the major proportion was received by women. We know that the integration of a gender perspective into development policies and programs can contribute to their efficacy and sustainability (Ramirez et al, 2005). We also know that Migration , particularly through remittances, can be an important motor for Poverty Reduction and growth in many developing countries (Lucas, 2004; Adams, 2005). But we still know too little about the actual linkages between gender , Migration and Poverty Reduction , and the policies to make these linkages work for Poverty Reduction .
