A most-similar case comparison is constructed between the Sri Lankan and Philippine states� defenses of �their� female migrant domestic workers (FMDWs), employing process tracing and relying on data from archival research, interviews, policies, and official statements. Existing explanations for sending-state actions stress dependence on remittances, receiving-country conditions, and the democratic incorporation of emigrants. Here, however, a stock of FMDWs with more highly valued human capital attributes, combined with a stronger civil society and greater gender equity, is shown to compel and enable the Philippine state to adopt a more assertive approach than its Sri Lankan counterpart in defending those migrants.� - Reproduced.  aDomestic workers  aFemale domestic workers  aMigration  aInternational Political Science Review  aMigration  c506681d506681  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-12-07h39(3), Jun, 2018: p.322-337.pAR118476r2018-12-07w2018-12-07yAR
