Transnational and Immigrant Families - Audio Recording
In this symposium recording, we explore 3 different forms of transnational families from different Asian countries: transnational families from the Indian sub-continent, adult former "parachute kids" from Taiwan, and Korean immigrant and transnational families.
Transnational families are those families whose members are separated physically between two or more nation-states but maintain close ties and relationships (Schmalzbauer 2004). Transnational family arrangements are diverse. Families have different reasons for migration: some families engage in transnational arrangements voluntarily (e.g., those involved in educational or labor migration) while others are involuntarily separated by wars and/or factors beyond their control.
