Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
The <\/span> deterioration <\/span> of <\/span> the <\/span> <\/span><\/span>employment <\/span> situation <\/span> in <\/span> the <\/span> southern <\/span> countries <\/span><\/span>has <\/span>in <\/span>recent <\/span> years <\/span> adversely <\/span> affected the <\/span> traditional <\/span> image <\/span> <\/span>of <\/span> the <\/span> emigrant <\/span> <\/span><\/span>who <\/span>wanted <\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
earn <\/span> a <\/span> lot <\/span> of <\/span> money <\/span> quickly <\/span> <\/span>and <\/span>return <\/span> home <\/span>as <\/span> <\/span>soon <\/span>as <\/span>possible. <\/span>The <\/span><\/span><\/span>insecurity <\/span><\/span>of <\/span><\/div>\n
emigration <\/span>– <\/span>to <\/span>Switzerland, <\/span>for <\/span> example <\/span><\/span>– <\/span>is <\/span> now <\/span>accompanied <\/span> by <\/span> insecurity <\/span><\/span><\/span>of <\/span><\/div>\n
existence <\/span>after <\/span> a <\/span>planned <\/span><\/span>or <\/span>early <\/span> return. <\/span><\/span>This <\/span>dual <\/span>insecurity <\/span><\/span>and <\/span>the <\/span> <\/span>ambivalent <\/span><\/div>\n
attitude <\/span>to <\/span>emigration <\/span>and <\/span> subsequent <\/span> return <\/span> <\/span>home <\/span> should <\/span><\/span><\/span>be <\/span> the <\/span> essential <\/span><\/span>features <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
which <\/span> currently <\/span>determine <\/span>the <\/span>awareness <\/span><\/span>and <\/span>behaviour <\/span><\/span>of <\/span> emigrants. <\/span>These <\/span>essential <\/span><\/span><\/span>features <\/span>are, <\/span>in <\/span>my <\/span>opinion, found <\/span>in <\/span>both <\/span>men <\/span>and <\/span>women.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
The <\/span> emigration <\/span> of <\/span> women <\/span>represents <\/span> a <\/span> secondary <\/span>form <\/span>of <\/span>emigration. <\/span>Originally, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
it <\/span>was <\/span> mainly <\/span> men <\/span> who <\/span><\/span>came <\/span> to <\/span>work <\/span>in <\/span> Switzerland, <\/span>but <\/span> subsequently <\/span>their <\/span> daugh- <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
ters, <\/span> sisters <\/span>and <\/span>wives <\/span> began <\/span>to <\/span>emigrate with <\/span>them. <\/span> Since <\/span><\/span>the <\/span> percentage of <\/span>women\u2019s <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>earnings <\/span> is <\/span>low <\/span>in <\/span> the <\/span> regions <\/span> <\/span><\/span>from <\/span> which <\/span> <\/span>they <\/span> originate <\/span>(about <\/span>10-15 <\/span>per <\/span>cent <\/span>in <\/span>Southern <\/span> Italy <\/span>and <\/span>Southern <\/span> Spain <\/span>as <\/span><\/span><\/span>opposed <\/span>to <\/span>about <\/span><\/span><\/span>30 <\/span>per <\/span>cent <\/span>in <\/span>Switzerland), <\/span><\/span><\/span>the <\/span>role <\/span> of <\/span> a <\/span> woman <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>as <\/span> housewife, <\/span> mother <\/span> and, <\/span> if <\/span> necessary, <\/span> family <\/span> assistant <\/span> is <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>particularly <\/span> important <\/span> in <\/span> those <\/span> regions. <\/span> <\/span>Furthermore, <\/span> centuries <\/span> of <\/span><\/span>exploitation <\/span> and <\/span><\/span><\/span>the <\/span>harsh <\/span>demands <\/span>of <\/span><\/span>everyday <\/span>life <\/span>in <\/span> those <\/span>regions <\/span>have <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>made <\/span>the <\/span> <\/span>family <\/span>the <\/span> essen<\/span><\/span>tial <\/span>unit <\/span> and <\/span> created <\/span> a tendency <\/span> to <\/span>regard <\/span>as <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>hostile <\/span> the <\/span><\/span>environment <\/span> outside <\/span> the <\/span><\/span><\/span>family.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
