Sin embargo, en el área rural hay menos mujeres, a causa de una migración selectiva, con un flujo predominante de jóvenes más escolarizados y del sexo femenino hacia áreas urbanas.

They would be valued and recognised as individuals in their own right and not primarily defi ned by their marital and reproductive status. Has this been achieved in Singapore? Contrary to common belief, the nation still has some ways to go in this regard, for signifi cant groups of women in Singapore continue to be marginalised and disadvantaged.
