Current feminist and migration theories in Western academia have brought gender and migration together to understand how gender-specific characteristic of migration are produced. This study applies those theoretical developments in migration and gender to the study of rural-to-urban migration in China. Adapting the recent work of feminist geographers, the study examines how the social construction of gender and migration has contributed to the gendered patterns of the rural-urban migration in China. Focusing on women migrants, particularly those working as domestic workers in Beijing, the study investigates why women migrants are concentrated in particular types of jobs, and how they are recruited for the jobs.

520 $a Current feminist and migration theories in Western academia have brought gender and migration together to understand how gender-specific characteristic of migration are produced. This study applies those theoretical developments in migration and gender to the study of rural-to-urban migration in China. Adapting the recent work of feminist geographers, the study examines how the social construction of gender and migration has contributed to the gendered patterns of the rural-urban migration in China. Focusing on women migrants, particularly those working as domestic workers in Beijing, the study investigates why women migrants are concentrated in particular types of jobs, and how they are recruited for the jobs.
520 $a The study identifies how concepts of gender, migration, and domestic service have been historically constructed and interwoven in China. It also explores how these concepts have contributed to the high concentration of female migrants in domestic service, and to the recruitment of female migrants for such jobs. The study finds that rural farmers in communist China are ascribed a lower social status, compared to urban residents; that domestic work is women's work and low-level, and thus that rural female migrants with their imposed low status are confined to domestic work.
520 $a The study investigates the mechanisms that channel rural women into the roles of domestic workers. Focusing on the city of Beijing, the study finds that domestic workers found their jobs through either informal mechanisms or formal ones. The former include personal networks and the free "maid market" in the city, while the latter comprise the domestic service agencies that are established by the state's own organizations of women and that are oriented by the city's migration policies.
520 $a The study finds that rural women are channeled by the existing mechanisms for job search and the city's policies toward migration to take the role of a domestic worker. Their subordinate status as domestic workers is defined both at their urban employers' homes and in urban society more generally.
