Sumari:Gender and poverty are complex, interrelated phenomena crucial in migration processes. As a result of power relations, poverty affects men and women in different ways. Research identifies that gender inequality (enhanced by discriminatory laws and gender roles) in the country of origin can be a decisive factor leading to the migration of women when their economic, political, and social expectations cannot be realized. This paper draws on research on Labor market integration of third-country immigrant women in Helsinki, Finland, to shed light on issues of gender, poverty, and migration. Findings show how changing gender roles from sending countries to receiving countries impacts and influence women’s economic lives, reducing poverty and inequalities they had experienced. The narratives reveal that in the migration and integration process, women’s economic resources, autonomy, and status in the destination country increased, leading to a reduction in poverty and gender inequalities. However, these findings lead to further research recommendations to better understand the interconnectedness of gender, poverty, and migration.
