Pokud Vás problematika zajímá, níže přkládáme abstrakt článku, o jehož publikaci Vás budeme informovat.
Obsah vystoupení je shrnut v následujícím abstraktu: The aim of the paper is to analyze migrant families and transnational families work-life reconciliation strategies. Transnational families practice caregiving across long distances and national borders, leading to a redefinition of practices of caregivers (Yeates, 2005). Care provision in transnational families has been discussed in the theory of global care chains (Hochschild, 2000). Baldassar & Merla (2014) argue that the care is not a chain but circuits of care. When discussing migrant families, the often very different pre-migration cultural frameworks have to be considered (Castles, 2007). The care arrangements dominant in the receiving country may not be possible or acceptable to migrants, which leads to developing alternative arrangements. In the context of post state-socialist countries, the economic migration represents specific phenomenon. These countries are often seen as the origin of economic migrants and are merely overlooked being a host country. The Czech Republic is a country with one of the highest share of migrants from non-EU countries among the migrant population. In the presentation, we aim to identify the caregiving strategies adopted by migrant families from the biggest migrant communities - those of Vietnamese and Ukrainian origin. By interviewing the 2nd (1.5) generation we aim to gain insight into the care arrangements of migrant families reflected on from the children’s perspective. The analysis is based on 20 narrative interviews and 2 focus groups with young migrants who grew up in the CR (now in their early twenties) on care provision during their preschool and early school age.
