dc.description.abstract	The focus on this thesis is how migration affects rural women in two provinces of Costa Rica. Migration is a well studied phenomenon but here the focus is set on the backside of migration, what the migrants leave behind and how the society is changing along with the course of migration. When many women search their luck in the cities the women in the study have for different reasons stayed behind, reasons that are well connected with job opportunities, education and poverty. The effect of rural development and machismo is two issues that are well interlinked in the analysis.	en
