Description

First published in 1999. Guatemalan immigration is part of a trend where more women in an increasing number of countries than men participate in transnational migration.

This research attempts to clarify the causes for this phenomenon.

First, it evaluates which Guatemalan women initiators and pioneers in the decision to migrate.

Second, it looks at women's diverse reasons for leaving Guatemala, and third, what are the conditions particular to women left behind?

This study will also contribute to an understanding of the increasing diversification of the Latin American immigrant population in the United States.
