People in developing countries consider migration the ideal way to meet better financial opportunities. Men often work abroad, especially in South Asia, to improve their economic prospects and escape financial hardships, while their spouses are remaining at home countries to care for the families. The interest of this study is to examine the extent to which male migration provides an opportunity and challenge to women’s status in the migration-source communities. The study explains that male migration not only improves the position of women in communities but also prolongs the displacement of family life, emotional deprivation, work burden, and insecure future of women in areas where migration is prevalent. Changes in women’s social, economic, and health status due to male migration are the particular focused area of interest of this study. Based on a review of the literature, this study examines the experiences of four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Nepal. This chapter examines how male migration affects various contours of continuity and changes in women’s status. Since women’s status is a major concern in the Global South and is increasingly recognized as an important indicator of societal development, this study is expected to contribute meaningfully to the broader debate on migration and left-behind women, and to inspire future research in this field.
