Genre et migration, une approche juridique pour le cas du Mali
Gender is becoming increasingly important in different fields including migration. The paper examines some legal aspects linked to gender and migration as far as Mali is concerned. It especially tackles issues related to family reunification, personal status, right of asylum, protection of vulnerable persons, as well as discrimination. As for family reunification, some difficulties stem from disparities between regulations in receiving countries and in Mali. Besides, incompatibilities between rules concerning the personal status of Malian women and rules in host countries create complicated situations for immigrant women. Regarding the right of asylum, protection of vulnerable persons and discrimination issues, specific provisions focusing on female migrants are scarce. The status of migrant women is thus analyzed through rules applying to Malian migration in general. The relative lack of consideration of gender issues does not work in the favor of female migrants.
Le CIGEM – Centre d’Information et de Gestion des Migrations (Mali) : sa place face aux défis des politiques migratoires
Le Centre d’Information et de Gestion des Migration (CIGEM) au Mali est le fruit d’une serie de dialogues politiques euro-africains sur « Migration et Developpement ». Cependant, cette expression est souvent politise : le developpement est percu un outil pour freiner la migration. De serieux doutes se posent sur la pertinence de cette structure. Malgre un budget de 10 millions d’euros engages par l’Union Europeenne, les prestations offertes par le CIGEM semblent tres limitees pour favoriser la migration pour le developpement; au contraire, elles semblent plus etre un outil cherchant a limiter les flux migratoires. Le projet CIGEM s’il veut favoriser la relation « Migration et developpement », doit s’interroger sur la place qu’il occupe au sein de la politique migratoire europeenne.
The Accuracy of Reported Insurance Status in the MEPS
Estimates of the number of insured and uninsured Americans are watched by numerous policymakers and the public, yet studies find respondents do not report their insurance status perfectly. Using four sources of validation data, including surveys of employers and providers, this paper assesses the quality of respondents' reports of private insurance and uninsurance in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS-HC), a nationally representative household survey. Regression analysis is used to assess the extent to which factors are associated with disagreements in reported insurance status across sources.
