Gender, Migration and the Intergenerational Transfer of Human Wellbeing

Katie Wright is Reader in International Development at the University of East London, UK. Her research focuses on gender, human wellbeing, international migration, microfinance, sustainable livelihoods and Latin America. Her previous monograph, International Migration, Development, Human Wellbeing and International Migration (2012) drew on Economic and Social Research Council funded work in this area.

“Wright’s study offers implications for both theory and public policy. … Katie Wright’s study is undoubtedly important, but its empirical findings, in my view, are even more interesting and richer than the conclusion drawn from them in the book.” (Judith Kausch-Zongo, Intergenerational Justice Review, Vol. 7 (1), 2021)
