Item type:Publication, Transnational care and old age. Theoretical approaches and pending debates(Arturo Prat University, 2022-01-01)El presente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar la literatura vinculada a los estudios sobre cuidados transnacionales, específicamente a la población adulta que queda en el país de origen cuando los hijos emigran. Para esto, se ha realizado una búsqueda, revisión y sistematización de la literatura internacional (libros y artículos) y de revistas de estudios migratorios, de género y familia. Planteamos que en esta discusión convergen dos ejes analíticos. El primero de ellos proviene de los estudios sobre familias migrantes transnacionales y el segundo, de los estudios sobre cuidados. A través de la revisión de la literatura identificamos los principales aportes que cada uno de estos ejes entrega al análisis de los cuidados de las personas mayores en contextos migratorios transnacionales y revisamos a su vez algunas ausencias y puntos ciegos con el objetivo de puntualizar agendas emergentes de investigación en esta temática. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Siblings negotiations in the transnational care of non-migrant parents in Peru(El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, 2024-01-01)Based on fourteen in-depth interviews with Peruvian migrants living in Switzerland, the article analyzes the family arrangements between migrant and non-migrant siblings on behalf of their parents living in Peru. The findings highlight that decision-making is affected by power relations, where gender and economic resources play a decisive role. Sibling negotiations are also related to the capacity to fulfil the filial duty of taking care and feeling recognized as the son or daughter who takes care of the parents, just as the parents did when the siblings were children. While the sample covers a group of migrants settled in Switzerland who achieved important levels of social, cultural, and labor integration, the results provide insights on transnational care issues that are applicable to other South-North migration contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reconciling Emotional Caregiving and Self-Fulfilment: Peruvian Migrants in Switzerland Supporting Parents in Peru(Wiley, 2023-02-11)This article explores filial transnational caregiving from a subjective and emotional perspective. It analyses the relationship between pursuit of personal fulfilment and concern for parental well‐being among Peruvian migrants in Switzerland whose parents remain in Peru. Based on in‐depth interviews, we analyse the importance assigned to personal goals, the resignification of filial obligations, and how migrants reconcile the desire to be a ‘good’ son or daughter with the desire for self‐fulfilment. This process, strongly shaped by gender and social class, involves the negotiation of distinct principles of autonomy and filial obligation prevailing in the country of origin and destination. Turning our attention to less explored emotions, such as pride and a sense of fulfilment, we show how to deal with principles that may be in tension, migrant children construe the pursuit of self‐fulfilment and the desire to accomplish family responsibilities as interdependent dynamics in the context of filial transnational caregiving. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Care and Transnational Families: Perspectives from Older Adults, Mothers, and Fathers of Peruvian Emigrants(Universidad del Pacifico Press, 2023-09-30)This article explores the organization of transnational care provided to older people whose one of their children lives abroad. Based on interviews conducted mainly with older mothers, it analyses the articulation between care received locally and at long distance, the practices they provide to care for family members, and their self-care activities to support themselves in an «independent» old age. The findings confirm the central role of families and, particularly of women, in ensuring a welfare regime for the older adult population and mitigate the effects of social unprotection.
