abstract: 'In this paper we analyze, on the one hand, the migratory process of
women from Morocco to Andalusia in a context of economic crisis. And, on
the other hand, the categories of influence in their process of social
participation. For this, we have used a qualitative methodology through
in-depth interviews. In the same way, it has been investigated in its
speeches from a longitudinal approach taking into account three key
moments in this question; the beginning, the transit and the settlement
in the consolidation versus return to the society of origin. The results
show how the expectations of women crossing the Mediterranean to reach
Spain are built and blurred, demonstrating a lack of respect for human
rights.
1. Methodology
In this work, we have not intended to measure the migratory phenomenon
but to describe its determinants and through the discourses, try to
identify the deep nature of this social reality, its relationship system
and its dynamic structure. Neither, we have not started with a
consolidated explanatory theory in scientific knowledge to, through the
deductive method, verify or refute the behavior of certain paradigms in
social reality. This has already been done successfully on occasions as
we quoted below but, based on these and starting from the reality a
migratory movement carried out by women, the present work has obtained
the necessary information for its development from the qualitative
methodology. The strategy that we carry out is oriented to discover and
understand a concrete phenomenon and this methodology is what gives
meaning to our research work. In this sense, we have carefully selected
the key informants with the intention of collecting their speech and
obtaining a broad vision of the experiences that come with the migratory
processes of Morocco women in their process of social integration in the
Autonomous Community of Andalusia.
On the other hand, understanding that the phenomenon can not be analyzed
only from the discourse of the social actors, we carry out an
ethnographic method through participant observation, culminated through
registration and observation of the social context, the way in which the
social actors in their context, the attitude of the professionals, the
public policies and norms of the context and the behaviors and attitudes
of the actors who do not intervene in the first person of the migratory
phenomenon.
Therefore, in addition to the ethnographic method, the methodology that
we have used has been qualitative, through the technique of
semi-structured interview with a sample size defined by saturation,
which reached 18 cases selected through a Sampling, given the nature of
the population under study. (Ruiz Olabuenaga, 1996).
The in-depth interviews were carried out in the city of Tangier and in
the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The application of the in-depth
interviews to our key informants was not intended, in any case, the
statistical representation, but the socio-structural representation in
relation to the objectives of this research work.
In the same way we use two fundamental criteria when deciding who and
how many women to interview: the sampling criteria of a practical nature
and the sampling outside the control of the design.
(I). Sample criteria of a practical nature have to do with the
classification of two general types of interviewees: key and
representative.
The four questions or basic criteria that we considered in the selection
of interviewees were: (i) who has the relevant information?; (ii) who
are the most accessible women ?; (lii) who are more willing to report?
And, (iv) who are better able to communicate information more
accurately?
Other requirements were also: (i) to be knowledgeable about the object
to be investigated; (ii) that they were willing to speak, and (iii) that
they represented different points of view when different perspectives
existed on what was being studied.
(II). Sampling out of control of the design synthesized several ideas
and also had to do with the snowball procedure. Another issue to
consider is the duration and repetition of the interviews that were part
of the design tasks, some sample decisions were reviewed during the
field work. The length of each interview session ranged from about
forty-five minutes to some interviews over an hour long.
It is important to emphasize that not only is it enough to ask who and
how many women to interview, it must be considered that sufficient
interviews must be conducted so that the interviewer feels that he has
leamed everything that has to be learned and has verified these
understandings through the most knowledgeable informants and that They
deserve more confidence, from there came the principle of saturation.
We also address two important aspects in the preparation of in-depth
interviews. On the one hand, the selection of the most suitable
interviewees. And on the other hand, the decisions on the most suitable
conditions of date, place and record of the interviews.
(I). About the researcher; It is interesting to ask how they can affect
a research-interviewed interaction, since it is interviewed for research
and knowledge purposes. Some interviews specified the training and
special knowledge to make pertinent interventions in a conversational
situation not always is easy. Decisions in this regard depended on the
purposes of the study and other research contingencies.
(II). About the date, place and registration; It became necessary to
condition it to the interests of the study, combining a series of
elements, without forcing, because to that extent the success of the
interviews was largely dependent.
Regarding the evaluative criteria of the quality of the interviews, we
distinguished different groups of quality criteria applied. These
include: (i) reliability criteria; (ii) credibility criteria; (iii)
transferability; (iv) dependability; (v) authenticity and, (vi) ethical
criteria.
Likewise, a moderately alternative redefinition of the internal,
external validity and reliability standards was applied. In our opinion
we judge the credibility of the work applied for its transparency and
coherence, since the quality of the information depended to a great
extent on the collaboration of the interviewees, which entails serious
ethical obligations towards them.
In sum, the quality of the interviews applied is intrinsically related
to the characteristics of the interviewed women and the ethical
guidelines of the research. Jointly, informed consent and
confidentiality play a key role. All these are criteria that we have
taken into account in the evaluation of the quality of the interviews
applied.
Women were selected who:
1. They intended to emigrate.
2. In full transit.
3. They would have completed the migration process for two years or
less.
The categories previously selected for the analysis have been defined
through the following topics:
1. The system of attributions of the beginning of the migratory process.
2. The reception process and the contextual conditions of the receiving
society.
3. Comparative patterns of well-being in Morocco and Andalusia.
4. Expectations, desires and feelings.
5. Familiar social networks around the beginning of the migration
project.
6. Difficulties during transit.
7. Perception of the migration project itself.
8. Interference of the economic crisis in speeches.
9. Perceptions about returning to their home society.
2. The description of the methodological approach, a special condition.
Work plan and description of the phases.
The work plan developed in the different phases carried out consisted of
the following actions:
Phase I. Initial Conceptual Model.
In the first phase called the initial conceptual model, we proceeded to
review and analyze the literature related to our object of study. This
phase corresponds to the exploration and analysis of the scientific
production in the issue that concerns us and that directly links gender
and migration.
Together, we follow exhaustively the design of the model according to
Miles and Huberman, (1984) who; ``Establishes that from the categories
emerged in the bibliographic review, conclusions must be drawn up
graphically so that the relationships between the named categories are
described in detail.{''''}
In this context, we note that the field work was carried out in the city
of Tangier (Morocco) and the Autonomous Community of Andalusia in the
framework of various projects for Development Cooperation of the
University of Jaen and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation
Development (AECID)''. We resorted to using the intentional sampling
procedure that allowed us to select the subjects in the sample. The
sample was generated progressively where each subject proposed to other
people they knew.
At the same time we made use of participant observation or ethnographic
observation. Three elements of this technique were taken into account at
the time of its use; (I) social interaction, (ii) data collection
protocol, and (ii) control of information.
Phase II. Intermediate Model of Interviewees.
In this second phase of the research, we proceeded to design the
intermediate model, which starts from an empirical data, that is, from
the experience on the subject to be studied.
For this phase the interviews were structured in depth, whose questions
were revealed by key informants and interviewed women, both of whom were
intentionally selected. In order to do so, the criteria they used to
contribute relevant information to our research were taken as criteria.
In this sense, we use the snowball procedure. In this respect, the
sample frame is the meanings. That is, those of the experience emerge.
The snowball procedure allowed us to select the subjects of the sample
arbitrarily, that is, allowed us to choose Moroccan women and key
informants who presented very special characteristics. Once identified
and with the available information they were asked to locate other
members of the same study population, either by familiarity, knowledge
or ease of access. The sample was generated progressively where each
subject proposed to other people they knew.
The analysis of the interviews was performed after the transcript. The
transcripts were then sorted according to the application sequence where
the statements of the informants were taken into account. Subsequently,
a first sweep of data was made that allowed to be debugged the
information that was repeated.
In this sense, the theoretical basis of the research, the direct
experience of the researchers, the different contributions of key
professionals in this issue in Tangier and Andalusia, together with the
application of the in-depth interviews, are guarantees that allowed to
develop an exhaustive analysis Which is reflected with the development
of the present investigation.
Phase III. Final Conceptual Model.
In the final conceptual model the observations and the discussion were
elaborated according to the theoretical positions described in the
theoretical review and with the answers of the people interviewed. The
contrast of these two phases made it possible to formulate theorizing.
Theorizing, according to Martinez, (1999): ``Is a way to look at the
facts, to organize them and to represent them conceptually, through a
new network of relations between the constituent parts.{''''} From this
point of view, the theory turns out to be the production of human
intelligence, since imagination and experience have been part of the
construction of knowledge.
We consider that the content analysis as a way to approach an
investigation, is a methodological complement that allows to obtain
knowledge of precise and effective way. The systematization of
information leads to the construction of a theorization, which is
reached, to the extent that we appropriate the acquired knowledge.
In sum, the design of the final conceptual model originated from the
interaction and contrast of the matching elements of the categories and
subcategories extracted from both the initial model and the intermediate
model.
Research objectives:
1. Observe the legislative framework and immigration policies and
integration models in the context of Andalusia and Tangier.
2. Analyze the conditions and discourses that are generated in this
migration process both in the context of departure, in transit and in
the receiving society.
3. Analyze the migration process of Moroccan women to Andalusia, based
on their expectations, experiences and personal assessments.
4. Identify the discourses around the exclusion processes that affect
the Moroccan woman in the host society
5. Design proposals for improvement, achieving the overcoming of the
more generalist positions insofar as they identify the migratory
phenomenon as unique.
Results in relation to objectives.
1. The exclusionary factors of this particular phenomenon are identified
in such a way that proposes the adaptation of public policies and
measures in which integration and socio-labor participation is the key
axis of action and women are recognized in all areas of performance.
However, it is recognized that certain changes in their societies of
origin are also necessary.
2. The speeches that are generated in the migratory process are
analyzed. These discourses related to the intention to emigrate that is
generated in the society of origin, in the transit and in the process of
consolidation that takes place in the receiving society. It is
highlighted that migratory flows bring into contact the systems of
gender and social class inequality of two different societies: the
society of origin and the host society. Therefore, the importance of
analyzing these issues is recognized. This is why we have analyzed this
migratory phenomenon in three key moments.
{[}GRAPHICS]
.
The migratory process of Moroccan women, in their economic character,
has a specific reception in a segmented labor market, with tasks of
family and domestic care, surrounded by a great vulnerability, but which
satisfies to some extent their migratory expectations.
3. The current economic crisis suffered by Andalusia, for almost a
decade, provokes that, although this is identified by the protagonists
in forms that are ignored in their speeches, I acted as a mechanism to
curb and expel female migration, or Precarization of underemployment to
which they access.
4. Different situations related to different moments of the migration
are exposed within a frame of fatigue and wear. Subsequently, some
perceptions of well-being are shown, in cases where women understand
that their expectations have been met.
5. We believe it is necessary, despite not being evident, an improvement
in Spanish policies to improve the quality of life of women, to make
proposals generated by the results of the analysis in the sense of
improving the integration and social participation of Moroccan women who
should have institutional resources in different areas, highlighting
improvements in the current Aliens Act, access to the education system,
labor insertion, language learning, accreditation of studies, gender
violence, impartial media and poor housing.
In our opinion, it is important to develop many positive actions and
political will to achieve an optimal process of integration and social
participation of women from Morocco in Andalusia.'
