Abstract: There is an extensive literature on gender differences in
the causes and patterns of migration (Becker and Morrison,
1999). While men and women have many common reasons for
moving from one region or country to another, there are
prominent differences as well. However, almost nothing is
known as to whether men or women react more rapidly to
changing opportunities, and to gender differences in
response to economic and social crisis. This paper
attempts to provide insights into both issues using
monthly data from the Republic of Kazakhstan.
