Abstract

Transnational migration has been recognized as one of the barometers to observe the unevenness or strains within the globalization process of "Time-Space Compression". Transnational movement of the people challenges the borders of "Nation States," as well as reconstitutes them. In Asia, the feminization of migration illustrates the multiple dimensions or plurality of globalization; it also bears witness to the reconfigurations of the borders of states, markets, and households as well as that of their gendered dimensions. After the development of analytical frameworks such as "The international division of reproductive labor" and "Care-chains," the emergence of "Global circuits" (Sassen 2002) has been able to channel much of the burden of women migrants through the transnational migration process; the process even includes discourses on "skills" for reproductive work.<br>This article will explore the complex figures in relation to the current globalization scenario, viewing the issue from the perspective of the international division of reproductive labor.
