Inhalt: "This paper addresses gendering processes as a mode of structuring in the course of migration. It is argued that, additionally to the exclusionary processes many migrants experience, gendering processes have to be considered as well. Apart from a structural level, including the social positioning in the labour market in the country of destination as well as migration regulations, the significance of gender norms is pointed out for the analysis of migrants' participation i labour and society. Taking up the migration of highly qualified migrant women from post socialist states to Germany, it is argued that they also experience a change of normative gender orders in the course of migration which influences their scope of action."
