Ok, so this article appears to try to discuss female migrant workers. So why not call it that. It isn't about any "feminization", it does not appear to be about involuntary migration (refugees or human trafficking) but simply about aspects of labour migration specific to women (e.g. working as nannies or domestic servants). If all the gender studies fluff is removed and actual statistics are added, there might be an actual encyclopedia article here, but seeing that there is a much better developed section on exactly this topic at Migrant_worker#Women_and_migrant_labour I suppose the first step should be a merge-redirect. Unless this article is supposed to be not about migration statistics but about feminist theories, but then it should abandon the factual tone and attribute theories and opinions to specific authors. E.g. this supposed "feminization" clearly does not reflect a fluctuation between 47% and 48% in women migrants over the span of two generations, it is some kind of gender studies theory attributable to some authors most likely writing in the 2000s. If this article is supposed to discuss gender theories, please make it explicit and leave the discussion of migration statistics to demographics articles. --dab (𒁳) 10:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

never mind, I found the main article, Women migrant workers from developing countries, which even has a section on this concept. So what little actual content there is hidden in this essay can easily be merged there. --dab (𒁳) 10:32, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
