Abstract
The article addresses problems of women’s labour migration. They are connected with the transformation of modern families, in particular with the restriction of their caring potential in rich countries as a result of professional work of women and decreased fertility, while at the same time the population in these countries is aging. The care deficit which emerged there attracts women from poorer countries who face difficulties in finding jobs in their countries of origin. The article also discusses individual aspects of women’s migration including their emotional burden relating to leaving the country, separation from their children and family as well as difficult working and living conditions. The adverse effects of migration of mothers on the children left behind in their countries, particularly on their mental health and development as well as the stability of the family, are also discussed.
