TRANSNATIONAL PARENTHOOD AND CHILDREN-LEFT-BEHIND
Many international migrants are parents who
have left without their children. In some
countries of emigration, there is an established
tradition of fostering and a view that temporary
separation of children from their biological
parents is not a bad thing. In other countries,
there is widespread concern that current
emigration of parents is a serious threat to the
well-being of a generation of children.
