Abstract
First, the propensity of men and women to engage in interregional migr ation within the Pakistani and West Indian populations in England and Wales is examined for differentials, and these propensities are compar ed with those derived from a white, control population. Second, the ma in spatial flows of long-distance gender-specific migration are descri bed. Third, the rewards which different groups derive from internal mi gration are considered and any gender discrepancies are highlighted. L ast, the conjunction of 'race', gender, marital status, and migration is investigated to see whether certain subgroups suffer a treble jeopa rdy and whether this is exacerbated or alleviated by different gender roles within the Afro-Caribbean and Pakistani populations.
