The growing body of literature on ethnic businesses has emphasized
the importance of small family-based businesses as a key form of
immigrant adaptation. Although there have been numerous references
to the importance of \u0022family labor\u0022 as a key ethnic
resource, few studies have examined the work roles and family
dynamics entailed in various kinds of ethnic businesses. Helping
Out addresses the centrality of children's labor participation in
such family enterprises. Discussing the case of Chinese families
running take-out food shops in Britain, Miri Song examines the ways
in which children contribute their labor and the context in which
children come to understand and believe in \u0022helping out\u0022
as part of a \u0022family work contract.\u0022 Song explores the
implications of these children's labor participation for family
relationships, cultural identity, and the future of the Chinese
community in Britain. While doing so, she argues that the practical
importance and the broader meanings of children's work must be
understood in the context of immigrant families' experiences of
migration and ethnic minority status in Western, white-majority
societies.
