Gender Roles and Women's Decision-Making Power in Transnational Migrants' Households: The Case of Guatemala
Bibliographic record
Abstract
MigraƟon literature has examined the benefits and challenges associated with temporary migraƟon from LaƟn America and the Caribbean to Canada; however, less aƩenƟon has been directed to the wives and families of temporary foreign workers remaining at home.This study addresses this lacuna by focusing on the impact of male transnaƟonal migraƟon from rural Guatemala to Canada on the lives of women who do not migrate.Drawing on ten semistructured online interviews, I use the insights of gendered geographies of power (Mahler & Pessar, 2001;2003) to analyze the impact of migraƟon on gender ideologies, women's agency and decision-making power in the household.I argue that while migraƟon bends gender roles and involves men in household tasks, this does not translate into considerable gender role changes or more women's agency.An argument is presented for policy consideraƟons to support Guatemalan women who do not migrate.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
