Focusing on the transformation of intra-household gender relations, this paper analyzes the intersection of two respective time flow, the continuity of overseas employment and the women’s life course including marriage and childbirth. The women discussed in this paper started their overseas work as singles, then proceeded to marriage and childbirth in the Philippines; at the same time they continued their work abroad. For these women migrants and their household members, the negative concept of “absent mother,” which is often used in the context of social problem to describe the women who migrate overseas, is seldom recalled. These women’s accumulated experience of transnational migration are recognized as a certain “career” within their newly formed households through marriage, thus the continuity of overseas employment is not interrupted by life events such as marriage and childbirth. It suggests that the emergence of the women’s transnational life course that balances the local gender norm and overseas work, as well as the possibility of a transnational “career” established within the new life course, gradually transforms the local gender norm itself.}, pages = {99--111}, title = {海外就労と女性のライフコース : フィリピン農村部の若年シングル女性と世帯内関係を手がかりに}, volume = {8}, year = {2005} }
