Abstract:

Changes in the characteristics of female migrants are analyzed using data from a 1982 survey in which 1,489 returning families in the Friuli region of Italy were interviewed. "The survey identifies three main periods of this temporary emigration: the first period shows first generation migrants, whose family structure is still traditional and women's role enters into conflict with the new socio-economic reality." The second period is characterized by an increase in the percentage of married female emigrants; in the third period an increase in the percentage of single females is noted.
