Abstract

This article reports on a systematic literature review that investigated the current state of knowledge on migrant women's career development within the two fields of migration studies and career development/vocational psychology. Migrant women, a heterogeneous population, undergo significant transitions navigating post-migration uncertainties. A wide range of post-migration factors and experiences often adversely impact their career development in various contexts. By synthesizing multidisciplinary research, this review focused on articles published in 38 major journals between 2000 and 2023 within the fields of ‘migration studies’ and ‘career development’. The findings highlight the methodologies employed, research participants including the nature of migration and destination countries, and conceptual/theoretical frameworks, and synthesize key findings and recommendations made in the articles. The comprehensive understanding gained through this review may inform policies that emphasize gender equity and sustainable development for migrant women and host countries. The review highlights gaps in career development and vocational psychology literature, such as the lack of localized research approaches that consider the specific contexts and systemic influences that impact migrant women's career development. This review contributes new perspectives on migrant women's career development, enriching career development and vocational psychology research, theory, and practice.

在性别、迁移和职业发展的交叉点上导航的移民妇女：系统的文献综述

本文对移民研究和职业发展/职业心理学两个领域对移民妇女职业发展的认识现状进行了系统的文献综述。移民妇女是一个异质性的群体，在移民后的不确定性中经历了重大转变。各种各样的移民后因素和经历往往对他们在各种情况下的职业发展产生不利影响。通过综合多学科研究，本综述重点关注2000年至2023年间发表在38个主要期刊上的“移民研究”和“职业发展”领域的文章。研究结果突出了所采用的方法、研究参与者（包括移徙和目的国的性质）以及概念/理论框架，并综合了文章中的主要发现和建议。通过这次审查获得的全面了解可以为强调性别平等和移民妇女和东道国可持续发展的政策提供参考。该综述强调了职业发展和职业心理学文献中的差距，例如缺乏考虑影响移民妇女职业发展的具体背景和系统影响的本地化研究方法。本综述为研究流动妇女职业发展提供了新的视角，丰富了职业发展和职业心理学的研究、理论和实践。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
