The article presents how Slovenian women emigrants and women immigrants to Slovenia have become an important part of migration studies in Slovenia. The research has focused on gendered migration and revealed different ways of structuring power relationships, social practices and institutions organized according to the gender principle. The article also focuses on methodological development and emphasises the narrative and autobiographical approaches, which brought the voices of women migrants from the past and the present to the analysis of migration, thus enriching various disciplines with personal experiences, individual interpretations and the variety of emotions of women on the move.

The chapter sets out some important dilemmas in which migration researchers often find themselves, knowingly or unknowingly. First it tackles the problem of the so-called new and old migration, and conceptual problems stemming out of such differentiation. The next important stalemate is embodied in quantitative evaluation of Slovenian emigration and emigration per se. The latter is crucially reliant on the accession and quality of statistical and other data sources. In this sense, the author presents conceptual background of data formation for the assessment of immigrants’ integration.
