This book analyses the gendered terrain of skilled immigration policies across twelve countries and thirty seven skilled immigration visas. It argues that while skilled immigration policies are often gendered, this outcome is not inevitable and that governments possess considerable scope in policy design.
'Boucher's book makes a valuable contribution to understandings of gender bias within skilled immigration policies in OECD countries. I believe that the book will become an essential reference work on the gendered dimension of skilled migration policies.. This book deserves to be read not only by scholars and students but also by policymakers and anyone interested in the gendered dimensions of international migration and, in particular, of selective immigration policies.'
