FAMILIES CARING ACROSS BORDERS: MIGRATION, AGEING AND TRANSNATIONAL CAREGIVING.

Description:

Families Caring Across Borders provides an ethnographic account of migrants and refugees who live in Australia and their experiences and practices of transnational caregiving of parents in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and New Zealand. This timely work contributes rich detailed knowledge of how people respond to a world characterized by unprecedented mobility - both voluntary and forced - globalized job markets and an ageing population, as increasing numbers of families find themselves spread across the globe and caring for their elderly parents from a distance.
