In an age of migration and mobility many aspects of contemporary
family life - from biological reproduction to marriage, from
child-rearing to care of the elderly - take place against a
backdrop of intensified movement across a range of spatial scales
from the global to the local. This insightful book analyzes the
opportunities and challenges this poses for families and for
academic, empirical and policy understandings of 'the family' on a
global level, including case studies from Europe, India, the
Philippines, South Korea, the United States and Australia. With
chapters on international reproductive tourism, transnational
parenting, 'mail-order brides' and 'sunset migration', it examines
the implications of migration and mobility for families at
different stages of the life course. Moreover, it brings together
leading international scholars to connect a fragmented field of
research, and in so doing enables an interdisciplinary exchange,
generating new insights for theory, policy and empirical analysis.
