Research on Employment Integration of Female Migrants in Engineering Projects from the Perspective of Social Capital
In the context of the post-migration era,female migrants in engineering projects,as typical representatives of the transition from traditional rural areas to fully revitalized modern villages,face employment integration as a core objective.Utilizing social capital theory and a social work perspective,this study,based on field research,explores the mechanisms underlying the employment integration of female migrants.It reveals that while female migrants have strong employment aspirations,there remains a significant gap between their ideal and actual employment outcomes.Their employment capital is challenged by various factors,including human capital limitations,gender-based division of labor,migrant identity,and social network constraints.Within the framework of social work development,social work interventions,such as organizing community activities,group activities,and providing personalized services,have enhanced the social connections of female migrants and helped build their social support networks.To further strengthen the employment integration network and safeguards for female migrants,efforts should focus on targeting the labor force,social work intervention,monitoring gender discrimination,and reinforcing interpersonal networks.
