Abstract

Please note: this article is in Greek. Female migration in Greece. Recent developments and settlement processes: Greece has turned in recent years into an immigration region. While migration to started in the early 1980s, it was only in the early 1990s that significant numbers started arriving. An additional important feature of the immigration process in Greece is the large proportion of women who migrate alone in search of employment and do not follow the traditional pattern of accompanying male family members. The purpose of this paper is to examine the recent developments regarding female immigration movement in Greece and to explain the female migration pattern and to look at the models and conditions intertwined with the process of migrants’ women settlement in Greece presenting some of the findings as they appear in a large scale survey for “Immigrant women in Greece” conducting by KETHI (Equality Research Centre-Athens) and included a sample of 612 immigrant women.
