Ethnographic analysis reveals how transnational migration influences individualisation in skilled-labour Chinese women, challenging traditional gender roles.

Key Points

Transnational migration promotes individualisation, enabling women to escape gendered expectations and pursue personal goals.
Migrant women transformed their understanding of marriage and motherhood, moving beyond restrictive social norms.
Observational analysis across multiple interactions with 36 women in Singapore highlighted evolving identities and relationships.
These individual changes indicate potential shifts in societal structures, challenging patriarchal frameworks and reinforcing female solidarity.
