ABSTRACT | This article presents current perspectives on the gender approach to the study of migration in
Chile between 1990 and 2018, contextualizing it in light of international debates in the social sciences. We will
discuss how the feminization and the growth of Latin American migrations have given rise to a prolic eld
of research, as exemplied by studies conducted in central and northern Chile. We will show how the concepts of
social remittances and caregiving permeate the Chilean debate on migrant women. We conclude with reec-
tions on topics and perspectives to be incorporated into the Chilean research agenda on gender and migration.
