Survival Circuits
In Global and Survival circuits, Sassen claims for the redefinition of the word globalization (Sassen, 2002). Globalization refers to the interaction of individuals, countries, and economies on a global scale. Also, globalization is defined by the media, economic analysts and policy, hypermobility, distance neutralization, and place, and hypermobility is stressed. Instant communication and electronic markets and global information on the economy. Today, women migrate from south to north as domestic workers or sex workers and nannies and they engage in two sets of dynamic configurations. The first one is the global city and the other includes survival circuits that have risen from the deepening misery of the global south.
Sassen indicated that globalization is just as much as migrant workers together with women just like powerful jobs, governments, and economies. She continues to claim that there are important links between globalization and the migration of women whether forced or voluntarily. The migrant women have become engaged in the global cities with reproductive jobs such as nannies and survival circuits with manners like sex work and trafficking. This means that a person can be associated and engage in a global city through the survival circuit process (Sassen, 2002). To survive, migrants and women have to do whatever it takes so that they can survive and provide for their families. For instance, once traffic women reach their destination, some immigration policy characteristics may make them more vulnerable since some of them always have little alternative to the law. Also, in nations like Switzerland and the Netherlands, they have a high number of women working as prostitutes. According to the International Organization of Migration data, in the European Union, 75% in Germany and 80% in Milan city in Italy have a majority of migrant women who are prostitutes.
In conclusion, women are developing as critical economic factors in a global city and survival circuits.
