title: [Household economy and gender differences in international migration:  a case study of Bolivians in Argentina].
abstract: The author analyzes household economy and sex differentials among Bolivian immigrants in Argentina.  "While male Bolivian (mainly from Cochabamba) immigrants come to Argentina in search of better job opportunities, female immigration does not result generally from an individual decision, but from the adjustment to family, implying a loss in status and independence as compared to their place of origin.  Job opportunities for Bolivian female workers are reduced mainly on account of their poor literacy levels; thus they often work for very low wages, deprived of any social benefits."  (SUMMARY IN ENG)
