Ararat—a more affluent and economically dynamic marz, closer to Yerevan, less out-migration Data collection: Carried out in late September-October 2005, i.e. just before most seasonal migrants return home A probability survey of 1040 married women in 52 villages A community (village) survey Qualitative in-depth interviews with 27 women whose husbands are current migrants or were in migration in 2005 All participants received a symbolic gift (coffee + chocolate)
