What is the reason for the “feminization” of emigration from central america in recent years? a. increasing rural povertyb. reduced access to education for womenc. civil war d. increased opportunities for women in the u. s.answer is a. (i already did the test but to anyone who tried )

The correct answer is - A. increasing rural poverty.

The people living in the Central American countries have it very rough, and the situation is not getting better, but in fact, it seems like it is either stagnating, or getting worse. This led to very high percentage of the population to be poor, or on the verge of being poor, so the people in order to have a better life are migrating mainly towards the USA. In the recent years, it has been noticed that there's much bigger percentage of women in the migrants, and this is due to the poverty in the countries, but also because they want to move away permanently, not like before when the men will go to work in the USA and will send money back home, where the wife will be taking care of the household and the children.
