The contemporary migration phenomenon has reached global dimensions and presents quite significant differences compared to the migrations of the past, through the changed format of the flows as well as their composition, which are shaped by the migration policies. Today, more than ever, the number of migrant women is increasing exponentially, who make the decision to move to another country for personal reasons, for reunification, asserting themselves more and more as promoters of economic, family and social well-being. Therefore, precisely because of the intertwining of these needs, contemporary migrations are more "difficult to read", representing particular features, than those of previous decades, characterized by substantially economic reasons. More precisely, the work of immigrant women seems to be a particularly useful and precious resource, due to their adaptability skills, flexibility to the socio-economic systems of other countries, whose labor markets are characterized by a continuous social adjustment. So, the obvious presence of Moldovan women in the current context of migration, in Italy, responds to an implicit demand for work, which is functional in the economic system of this country, against the background of the characteristics and recent transformations of the Italian society, where the demographic component of the elderly exceeds it much more than that of young people, this of course leading to an imbalance in the social structure, in favor of the former, and an increasingly obvious distribution of work between the sexes. For this reason, the particular conjunction between the democratic revolution and the welfare crisis, greatly encouraged female migration, oriented towards domestic work and caring for the elderly, progressively leading to the indispensable "prop" for Italian families, who need assistance and can demand from the market the supply of cheap labor that migration makes available. In this context, the work represents a life collection of many women from the Republic of Moldova, which forms the backbone of this research and which aims to analyze the social and work path of female migration, highlighting the motivations that push women to emigrate, their ways of integration, superimposed on living and working conditions, with the aim of identifying those common strategies and mechanisms of behavior of Moldovan women, immigrants in Italy.
