@article{Syeda Sitwat Hasan_Prof. Dr. Taraq Waheed_Dr. Noreen Saher_2025, title={Not Only Economics Gain-Much More: How Pakistani Migrant Women Interpret the Migration Success to the UK, A Case Study Applying Relative Deprivation Theory}, volume={3}, url={https://www.assajournal.com/index.php/36/article/view/347}, abstractNote={<p>While migration is often associated with economic improvement, this study finds that the migration decision-making process is not linear, but more complex. Through the theoretical lens of Relative Deprivation Theory (RDT), this paper analyses how Pakistani women interpret their migration experience from Pakistan to the United Kingdom. The findings of case studies explored how migration shaped and reshaped their perception of deprivation and well-being, not only on economic upgradation but also on emotional, social and cultural domains. Our findings challenge the famous narrative of economic growth and empowerment as a result of migration, adding more to the thesis that perception of deprivation moulds and is reshaped contextually.  This study significantly contributes to disseminating the migrant women’s lesser voices echoed in the literature.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Relative Deprivation Theory, RDT, Migrants, Migrant Women, Pakistani Women, Pakistani Migrants, Migration, Life Experiences, Gender, Migration</p>}, number={02}, journal={`}, author={Syeda Sitwat Hasan and Prof. Dr. Taraq Waheed and Dr. Noreen Saher}, year={2025}, month={May}, pages={474–485} }
