Abstract:
The ever-growing worldwide phenomenon of transnational labor migration has resulted in the increase of families formed by migrant workers in destination countries. While scholarly attention has mainly focused on the transnational families of migrant workers, the formation of mixed families involving migrants in host countries has rarely been studied. Based on a qualitative and quantitative study of the Filipino migrant worker community in Israel, this paper explores the dynamics of mixed families within this community. The family formation of Filipino migrants in Israel reveals two main categories of mixed families: one consisting of a migrant worker and a local citizen, and the other consisting of two migrant workers of different origins. I proposed the terminologies “suspect mixed families” and “fragile mixed families” to emphasize the crucial impact of migration policies on the dynamics of these families.

Abstract:
The economic viability of migrant families who depend on remittances is currently very fragile due to the Covid-19 pandemic, mainly migrants who provide for their families. When migrant workers have a lot of dependents, it makes the household's financial status worse and makes this predicament worse. The management of remittances on productive matters is also subpar in the families of Indonesian migrant workers. This article examines the socioeconomic circumstances of migrant workers to learn how Indonesian migrant workers overcame the financial crisis brought on by the Covid-19 outbreak. This article also intends to look into local government initiatives to support employees in resolving these socioeconomic repercussions and the socioeconomic impacts on migrant workers. The study was carried out over six months (January–June 2022) utilizing qualitative research approaches, including interviews, focus groups, FGDs, and data collection documentation in the field. In this study, 30 informants—15 men and 15 women—made up the sample. According to the research findings, migrant workers have techniques for surviving during a pandemic, such as leveraging the agriculture and livestock sectors. Additionally, the local administration gives migrant workers special consideration by providing direct financial help, cash social assistance, and MSME training. Akibat pandemi Covid-19, kondisi keberlangsungan ekonomi keluarga migran yang bergantung pada pengiriman remitansi saat ini sangat rentan, khususnya migran yang memenuhi kebutuhan keluarganya. Kondisi ini diperparah ketika pekerja migran memiliki jumlah tanggungan yang banyak dan memperburuk situasi keuangan rumah tangga. Pada saat yang bersamaan, keluarga pekerja migran Indonesia tidak maksimal dalam mengelola remitansi pada hal-hal yang bersifat produktif. Melihat kondisi sosial-ekonomi pekerja migran tersebut maka artikel ini juga berupaya untuk mengetahui strategi-strategi pekerja migran Indonesia untuk keluar dari krisis ekonomi selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Selain itu, artikel ini juga bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi dampak sosial ekonomi pekerja migran dan langkah-langkah pemerintah daerah untuk membantu pekerja dalam mengatasi dampak sosial-ekonomi tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama 6 bulan (Januari-Juni 2022) dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengambilan data observasi-partisipasi, wawancara, FGD, dan dokumentasi dalam pengambilan data di lapangan. Sampel dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 30 informan yakni 15 laki-laki dan 15 perempuan. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa pekerja migran memiliki strategi untuk dapat bertahan hidup di tengah masa pandemi, seperti memanfaatkan sektor pertanian dan peternakan. Pemerintah desa juga juga memberikan perhatian khusus kepada PMI dengan bantuan seperti BLT, BST, dan pelatihan UMKM.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the financial literacy of migrant worker families in terms of remittance management. This study was conducted in seven hamlets of Payaman Solokuro Village, Lamongan Regency. Using cluster random sampling techniques in determining the research sample and using the Harry King Nomogram in determining the number of samples, as many as 95 persons. Data analysis uses ANOVA (Analysis of Variant) technique. The results showed that 63.2% of migrant workers’ families received remittances of 1-3 million each sending period, and 81.1% received remittances once a month. The literacy rate of migrant workers’ families from the perspective of remittance receipts intensity is in medium level, however migrant workers’ families who receive remittances in period of once in three months tend a high level of literacy. Families of migrant workers who receive remittances of more than three million each sending period are higher in financial literacy than others. The results of data analysis show that the financial literacy of migrant workers’ families do not have a significant difference in terms of the remittance receipts intensity, and the financial literacy of migrant workers’ families in terms of remittance receiptsquantitydo not have a significant difference. The results of this study indicate that migrant workers’ families can increase their financial literacy through financial training and have careful considerationsin making economic decisionsAbstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji literasi finansial keluarga pekerja migran ditinjau dari pengelolaan remitan, baik dari intensitas maupun kuantitas.

Abstract:
Improvements in migrant families’ consumption are crucial to economic development after the economic crisis. With China’s participation in economic globalization, industrial transformation and college enrolment expansion, a new type of migrant worker has emerged, skilled migrants, who have attained a college diploma or above and whose consumption behaviors differ from traditional labor migrants because education helps to improve the income and consumption structure. This study uses comparative analysis and Tobit model to examine differences in income and consumption patterns, and determinants of consumption between skilled migrant and labor migrant households. Education helps to increase income and alter consumption behaviors. The income and consumption levels of skilled migrant households are significantly higher than the levels of labor migrant households, and the propensity to consume among skilled migrant households is higher than among labor migrant households. Moreover, the consumption structure of skilled migrant households is more advanced than that of labor migrant households. Education indirectly influences consumption by influencing economic, familial, individual, settlement intention, and social security factors. These factors have different effects on skilled migrant and labor migrant household consumption. Authorities should improve the education level and social welfare system to cover migrant households, especially for low-income labor migrants, to improve their consumption.

Abstract:
Although migration scholars have called for studying both ends of migration, few studies have empirically done so. In this article the author analyzes ethnographic data conducted with migrant careworkers in Italy, many undocumented, and their non-migrant children in Ukraine to uncover the meanings they assign to monetary and also social remittances defined as the transfer of ideas, behaviors, and values between sending and receiving countries. The author argues that migrants and non-migrant children within transnational families produce a transnational moral economy or a set of social norms based on a shared migration discourse – in this case, either poverty or European aspirations – which governs economic and social practices in both sending and receiving sites. The author found that these contrasting transnational moral economies resulted in the production of ‘Soviet’ versus ‘capitalist’ subjectivities with consequences for migrant practices of integration in Italy, consumption practices for migrants and their non-migrant children, and for Ukraine’s nation-state building project.

Abstract:
Tertiary-level students from Bangladesh usually migrate to Germany for the purpose of higher studies. These international student migrants use communication media to maintain connections with family members and friends in Bangladesh and social networks with friends, classmates, and Bangladeshi community members in Germany. Drawing on the experiences of Bangladeshi student migrants in Germany and using polymedia theory, this paper investigates how the migrant students use the polymedia environment to maintain the transnational social networks and connections. This paper is based on qualitative data derived from 18 in-depth interviews with Bangladeshi migrant students in Germany. Findings suggest that using the polymedia environment, Bachelor migrant students receive emotional support from their family members back home, while Masters and PhD students are responsible for providing emotional and practical support to their left-behind families, relatives, and friends. Migrant students’ media usage with families and friends living in Bangladesh is influenced by their marital status and gender as well as their familial and social structure in Bangladesh. Their use of communication media with the members of the Bangladeshi community and foreign classmates living in Germany is comparatively less frequent and more education-oriented.

Abstract:
Abstract In response to difficulties faced by families in caring for the aged, the government of Taiwan launched a foreign live-in caregiver programme in 1992. This paper draws upon literature on family, domestic work and motives for caregiving to examine how the long-term co-residence of migrant live-in elder care-workers reconfigures Taiwanese families. Our analysis, based on in-depth interviews conducted in the summer of 2009 with 20 Vietnamese migrant live-in care-workers, uses the concept of ‘social family’ to document the close emotional and quasi-familial relationships between foreign care-workers and members of Taiwanese families. Narratives shed light on the dynamics of these relationships and show the limitations of the concept. The inherent asymmetrical employer-employee power relationship remains, while workers constantly negotiate contradictory feelings and positions in the intimate sphere of the employers’ private homes. This paper emphasizes the mutual dependency that migrants experience as both workers and members of a new family. Rather than being seen as cheap, disposable labour, migrants become indispensable to the families. It is this dependency and intimacy that make them part of the family, but also continues to make them vulnerable to abuse.

Abstract:
So far, Croatian migrant families have been predominantly studied within the scope of theoretical questions oriented toward ethnicity and their role as the guardians of ethnic/national identity. Going beyond the ethnic lens of those studies, the article focuses on an exploration of family structures and the social functioning of wider kinship networks in the migration context as well as an understanding of how migrants conceive of ethnic/national identity. By highlighting the complex entanglements of traditional family patterns (patrilocality, seniority, and gender roles), transnational kinship networks and “a little tradition of ethnic/national identity” held by migrants, this article seeks to establish autonomous research into family processes among Croatian migrants and to make a rapprochement between classical anthropological research of family and kinship and migration studies.

Full text
Abstract:
The socio-economic attainment of migrants and their descendants has been a pressing subject of research for scholars and policy makers. Educational outcomes attract particular attention, as education is a means for social advancement and achieving better occupational status. As the largest migrant group in Europe, Turks are of special interest in the discussion of migrant incorporation. However, assimilation theories dominate research, with limited interest, if any, in the true impact of migration on educational attainment. Using the unique 2000 Families dataset, this thesis compares the educational outcomes of Turks in European countries to their non-migrant comparators in Turkey across three generations. The 2000 Families dataset includes information about complete lineages of nearly 2000 persons born in Turkey between 1920 and 1945 in five high-sending regions; 80 per cent of these 'ancestors' migrated to Europe as 'guest workers' between 1960 and 1974, and 20 per cent stayed in Turkey. In this work, I first compare measurements of educational outcomes theoretically and their implications to international comparisons. methodologically. Next, I study the educational outcomes of Turks in Europe across two generations by comparing them to Turks in Turkey. I then focus on the direct effect of grandparents' socio-economic characteristics on educational outcomes and explore mobility patterns. Finally, I look at Turks in Europe and discuss country differences in their education as a positional good and note the effect of parental ethnic capital on educational outcomes. Existing research typically compares migrants to natives or other migrant groups in the destination countries. Therefore, it often overlooks changes migrants and their descendants go through relative to their comparators in the origin countries. Migrants' outcomes should be seen in reference to not only the groups in the destination but also those in the origin. Only then can a more complete picture of incorporation be drawn.

Abstract:
The education of the children of migrant farmworkers is difficult to manage because of their mobile lifestyle. The dropout rate of these children is extremely high and remains the highest of any group in the United States. This project offers an historical overview of the creation and development of the migrant education programs of today. After examining sample distance learning programs and their important components, this project features a model distance-learning program for migrants. The goal is to create distance learning programs that will allow migrant children to continue school as they travel, guide them to graduation, and lead them toward higher education.

Abstract:
This thesis takes as its subject Polish families who migrated to Edinburgh after Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004. It analyses the families’ post-migration trajectories and experiences, and investigates how these are influenced by factors relating to Polish history and culture, by features particular to the post-accession migration wave and by families’ individual characteristics. Theoretical approaches are drawn from a range of academic disciplines including, reference group theory, literature relating to gender-division of paid work and child-care, and ‘mobilities’ theory, and these approaches are all employed in exploring the factors that influence family members’ integration, employment and lifestyles and their plans for the future. This qualitative study focuses on the experiences of thirty families living in and around Edinburgh in the two years from 2009 to 2011, and combines a variety of methods in data-collection and in analysis. Families were interviewed twice with a year lapse between interviews, couples were interviewed jointly and conversational interviews were supplemented with questionnaires. These design features enable analysis of change over time, provide insight into family-dynamics and generate a range of forms of data. In analysis the combination of thematic coding of interview transcripts with Qualitative Comparative Analysis, allows in-depth exploration of experiences at the individual and family level to be positioned within the context of trends and patterns observed across the whole group. The study finds that the families fall into distinct types according to particular key characteristics and migration strategies, and that the different family types are linked to different experiences of life in Scotland and plans for the future. Younger migrants who arrived independently, decided to stay and later started families are found to be embarking on new careers and making use of the greater flexibility of the employment market in the UK to enact their preferred division of work and childcare. In line with previous research findings, for families whose oldest child is preschool age, school start date in Poland is identified as critical in limiting the period in which parents feel the decision about whether to return can be made. Parents who migrated with school-age children because of financial hardship in Poland are highlighted in this study as a previously under-researched post-accession migrant group; among these families most parents within the study group are found to have been considering permanent settlement at the time of migration and to be maintaining this intention; their decision to stay is particularly influenced by concerns about the difficulties that they anticipate their children would encounter in re-entering the school system in Poland and about their own reduced ability to re-enter the labour market there after de-skilling in employment in the UK. Parents who migrated to take up professional work in the UK are identified as possessing the highest levels of ‘motility’, that is, capacity to make use of mobility generally; among the study group these parents are found to have the most varied options and future plans and to be those who indicate the greatest likelihood of leaving the UK in the short term.

Abstract:
This paper highlights the problem of migrant families in Ukraine and deals with the main characteristics of the Ukrainian population migration abroad. The research traces the evolution of the social institution of the family in Ukraine and analyzes how it is varied and in what way family relationships have changed under the impact of migration processes in modern Ukrainian society. Special emphasis is placed on the transformation of the role of grandmother in the modern Ukrainian family. The results obtained through the in-depth interview technique indicate that in the modern Ukrainian family the grandmother starts playing the role of mother for children in the family. She can participate in economic, political, social, recreational, cultural and other activities and spheres of family life. Thus, the grandmother becomes an active member of the family; she can also be one of the first agents of the childrens socialization. She influences them greatly and transmits certain values, traditions and customs to them. Thus the study permits us to specify more clearly the problems in the sphere of the migrant worker's families in the eastern part of the country and improve the overall employment and demographic situation in Ukraine today.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the workings of belonging to explore the concept’s inherently temporal nature. Through in-depth qualitative case studies of ten Polish families who have moved to Manchester since the 2004 European Union enlargement, time is revealed as a prominent theme in the search for belonging. While the field of migration studies tends to portray migrant belonging as a simple linear accumulation, my study focuses on the more nuanced and complex way in which my participants’ relationship with time as a subjective, relational and lived experience of space has impacted on their migration stories. Time-space is prominent in their tales of searching for belonging as the Polish migrant families make the decision to leave their home country, make their new homes in Britain and face the decision whether to return or remain. By exploring the way in which homely time-spaces are (re)created, negotiated, and interpreted, I highlight the significant role of a temporal framework in understanding migrant belonging.

Abstract:
The patterns of paid and unpaid work adopted by migrants families with dependent children are more or less similar to that of prevailing working pattern of men and women of Australian born couples. A case study with 28 couple families, 14 husbands and 14 wives who migrated from Nepal under "skill" or "professional" category and the literature review on paid and unpaid work of couple families with dependent children show that in both families the trend of change of working pattern in paid and unpaid work is similar. With the increased participation of married women in the paid labour force, men increased participation in household work. There is increased household work for both husbands and wives, but women tend to do more household "inside" and childcare work than men. In the mean time, men tend to do more work in the "masculine" sphere of "outside" work in house maintenance, repair and car care. The only factor that differentiates working pattern of migrant families with Australian born families is the experience of migration and the category that they migrated. The change of working practice of paid and unpaid work of migrant families are affected by the change of family type from extended family to two generational family and their education and previous work experience that they brought along with them. Professional migrants who migrated family as a "unit" migrated spouse and dependent children together and they made their own decision to migrate, unlike other categories of migrants who migrated from political or economic pressure. One of the important experiences of migrant families is that there are new opportunity, new lifestyle, new intimacy and companionship and new sharing of work between husbands and wives after migration. At the same time, there are losses of extended family relatives, close friends and cultural event which affects their day to day lives. There are Australian based friends who provided support in the initial period of migration but these families do not provide regular assistance or support which family relatives provided in Nepal.

Abstract:
AbstractChapter 10.1007/978-3-030-91971-9_3 examined the gendered nature of a migrant division of labour. In this chapter we turn to family migration, traditionally associated with women as dependents and followers of men. The term is used to categorise the international movement of people who migrate due to new or established family ties. People moving for family reasons constitute the largest group of migrants entering OECD countries, ahead of labour and humanitarian migration (OECD, 2019). To move for family reasons may encompass an array of different kinds of migration trajectories, from the adoption of a foreign child to family members accompanying migrant workers or refugees, as well as people forming new family units with host country residents or family reunification (when family members reunite with those who migrated previously).

Abstract:
AbstractThe authors provide a commentary on the inter-state migrant exodus that took place after the government imposed the national lockdown to control the transmission of COVID-19 infection. The lives of the inter-state migrant workers were seriously disrupted when the national lockdown was imposed. The authors bring into focus the inequalities of our times that resulted in serious human right violations. Migrant laborers were the hardest hit during the pandemic. Migrants and their families were pushed to starvation, deprivation, and destitution. The authors study this problem from a rights-based perspective.The unprecedented lockdown resulted in a migrant frenzy. Millions of inter-state migrants, stripped of their livelihood, were forced to flood the roads across the country in the last desperate bid to return home to their villages. Many chose to walk for weeks and weeks covering thousands of miles in their desperation to get home.The authors discuss the horror that migrants faced as they went through their journey. The nightmare that ensued was a severe violation of human rights. Bedraggled, starved, and exhausted, the exploitation and hardship that they endured along with their families continued over time.The migrant crisis not only hit the headlines in India but also drew the attention of world media.

Abstract:
AbstractDue to the conditions of apartheid and social engineering, internal labour migration played an important role in shaping the roles and relationships of South African families. In a recent study on internal labour migration in South Africa, Mokoene (2017) found that even though men remain the main migrants in households, young women are becoming prominent migrants as well. This finding echoes other existing findings on national and international migration which illustrate that women continue to migrate in large numbers within and across borders in search of employment (Xulu-Gama, 2017; Kihato, 2013; Walker, 1990). Studies also show that labour migration presents both benefits and costs for migrant sending families (Mokoene & Khunou, 2019; see also Yao & Treiman, 2011). In this chapter we take a closer look at experiences of the families of young women who migrate from the rural parts of Madibeng in the North West Province of South Africa, to neighboring cities in search of employment. This is from a study by Mokoene (2017) which found that the migration of these young women come with a cost including, non-remittance, parental absence, and poverty to the families left behind.

Abstract:
The paper presents a topical picture of the intra-EU mobility on the basis of officially published quantitative data. Several social aspects of this type of internal migration are discussed and analyzed, such as: risks for the health, education and socialization of the migrant children; risks for the stability of the migrant families; demographic and social consequences for the EU countries which are reported as the biggest sources of intra-EU mobility. The official statistical data are compared with the results of the authors’ study on socialization deficits for the children from so called “transnational families”, where one or both parent are labor migrants and have left their children to the care of relatives in the country of origin. The comparative results serve as a basis of conclusions about the negative social impact of the intra-EU mobility on the migrant families and especially on their children.

Abstract:
This narrative describes an initiative of the National Service Scheme team at Andhra Loyola Institute of Engineering and Technology. It highlights initiatives to address the situation of migrant workers during the pandemic lockdown in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh in India. In the Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, migrant laborers were forced to walk home, sometimes hundreds, even thousands of kilometers, to reunite with their families. It was hard to ignore these images, especially those who carried the elderly on their shoulders, and small children slumped over rolling suitcases. Most used any means of transport they found, even bicycles. Some succumbed to accidents and exposure to heat. In the midst of the lockdown, the NSS team quickly came together and planned an outreach/relief camp for migrants in Krishna District. It was chosen since many villagers were migrants and the lockdown had affected in multiple ways. The relief camp took place in the month of April, a time when temperatures soar in southern India. The students and the faculty members joined hands to reach out to the Migrants in the most despairing moments. The students commented that they saw their education from a different perspective, one that integrated curriculum and good citizenship for marginalized persons. One of the ways of infusing relevance into education is to embed it within meaningful service learning. This paper is an attempt to exhibit the Initiative and Responses to the Migrant workers during the Lockdown.

Abstract:
In the global context of the Covid-19 pandemic, migrant workers and their families are subject to job cuts, state-imposed restrictions, hostility, discrimination, prejudice and harassment from communities who fear catching the virus from them. They receive little or no state support compared to other population groups. How have migrant workers and their families managed these challenges? What could be learned from them in terms of pandemic management and support to vulnerable groups? Findings from a study in a Laotian province bordering Thailand show that returning migrant workers and their families sourced and used social capital to mitigate the impacts of the first wave of Covid-19. Their social-capital strategies have helped them to cope with the pandemic. Implications are discussed along with recommendations for support and intervention.

Abstract:
In the modern world, labour migrants come to developed countries with their children, including children of preschool age, in search of better jobs. It is children who are most vulnerable in the framework of the migration process as they need to adapt to life in a new multicultural environment. Today, in fact, there is absence of fundamental developments aimed at solving difficulties of an adaptation process for children of labour migrants who have insufficient experience in constructive sociopsychological interaction and are involved in building image representation systems of significant others and of their own selves. The paper presents results of an empirical study implemented on the basis of preschool educational institutions of the Penza region in which 120 children of labour migrants participated between the ages of 6–7 years. Authors conclude that children of labour migrants are the most vulnerable social group in need of psychological support. Most pronounced destructive impact on a pre-schooler’s personality is expressed in a child-parent relationship. As main effects of a maladaptive behaviour of children from migrant families we can highlight: expressed anxiety, decreased self-esteem, neurotic reactions in social interaction, identification inconsistency, reduced social activity, intolerance of otherness and constant stress due to expectations of failure. Most children from migrant families express decreased or low self-esteem. The nature of a parent-child relationship is expressed in a collective image of a parent, in particular the image of the mother, and acts as an indicator of well-being / dysfunction of a child’s personal development, his attitude to the world and his own self.

Abstract:
A la fecha, Colombia ha sido el mayor receptor de población migrante venezolana de la región con 1,8 millones de migrantes desde el 2014. La mayoría de las familias venezolanas migran por falta de recursos y el colapso general de la economía en su país y llegan a Colombia en busca de empleo, vivienda y condiciones de vida dignas para sus hijos. Este fenómeno implica un proceso de integración de los migrantes en la sociedad. En este estudio cualitativo documentamos las percepciones de colombianos y venezolanos sobre el proceso migratorio en la ciudad de Bogotá con información proveniente de entrevistas en profundidad recogidas en noviembre de 2019. En base al análisis de estas percepciones identificamos oportunidades y desafíos en el diseño de políticas y programas para favorecer la integración entre ambas poblaciones.

Abstract:
Con altas tasas de emigración, los hogares de la región de Centroamérica, República Dominicana, México y Haití, en particular los más vulnerables, son muy dependientes del envío de remesas familiares por parte de los migrantes. En 2020, los flujos de remesas y los movimientos migratorios se vieron sustancialmente afectados por la crisis económica y sanitaria generada por la pandemia del covid19. Además de esa crisis, los poderosos huracanes ETA y IOTA azotaron países de la región, creando las condiciones para nuevos movimientos migratorios. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el impacto de la crisis del Covid19 sobre la situación laboral de los migrantes, el envío de remesas familiares y los retornos forzados o voluntarios. Asimismo, se evaluarán los impactos de los huracanes y de la crisis del Covid19 sobre la decisión de emigrar. Los hallazgos ponen de relieve el desplome de las remesas y los flujos migratorios al inicio de la pandemia, así como el rápido repunte de ambos para alcanzar niveles históricos. El contexto pandémico combinado con la devastación generada por los huracanes en Centroamérica puede actuar entonces como un catalizador sobre la decisión de migrar dentro o fuera del país de origen, sobre todo para los migrantes que disponen de recursos financieros y de una red de contactos. Por lo tanto, se espera una recuperación de los flujos migratorios hacia Estados Unidos, alimentada también por el cambio de administración y la esperanza de una reforma migratoria. Si bien la nueva administración de Estado Unidos es consciente de estos desafíos en el corto plazo, apunta a mayor coordinación con los países de la región y cambios estructurales cuyos efectos tomarán tiempo para materializarse.

Abstract:
El éxodo masivo de venezolanos ha sido uno de los temas más importantes en los últimos años debido a sus implicaciones sociales, económicas, políticas y regulatorias. Se estima que el número de refugiados y migrantes venezolanos en el mundo superó los 6 millones de personas en febrero 2022. Muchos venezolanos han optado por emigrar para tener mejores condiciones de vida y también para contribuir a mejorar la situación económica de sus familias a través del envío de remesas. Desde 2016, el envío de remesas ha sido una fuente creciente de ingresos para una gran parte de hogares venezolanos. Se utilizan datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Vida para evaluar el aporte de las remesas al ingreso de las familias receptoras y su impacto distributivo, así como para reflejar el papel que desempeñan en la pobreza por ingreso. Los resultados del estudio sugieren que el 18% de los hogares son receptores de remesas, sin embargo, el promedio de remesas recibidas esconde una gran heterogeneidad. El flujo de remesas tiende a ser regresivo en el sentido que su peso como proporción del ingreso total es mayor en los hogares más ricos. Las remesas representan un importante complemento del ingreso familiar, con un rol creciente en el sostenimiento de su bienestar.

Abstract:
En las últimas décadas, muchos países de la región vienen experimentando movimientos masivos de personas que huyen de la pobreza extrema, de situaciones de violencia o de dificultades socioeconómicas, políticas y medioambientales. Familias enteras viajan grandes distancias en busca de seguridad, bienestar y mejores oportunidades. En América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), los flujos migratorios incluyen niños, niñas y adolescentes que, entre otras cosas, requieren acceso a servicios educativos. Pocos servicios son más importantes que la educación, y en la mayoría de los países de ALC existen leyes o estatutos que proporcionan este derecho universal sin discriminación, independientemente del estatus migratorio. Sin embargo, las familias migrantes se enfrentan a varios obstáculos que dificultan el acceso educativo y la inclusión. La región está avanzando en su respuesta a estos desafíos. Los países receptores han implementado diferentes programas e intervenciones de cara al aumento de flujos migratorios que enfrentaron en los últimos cinco años. Esta publicación se enfoca en presentar los desafíos y oportunidades de esta compleja temática.

Abstract:
Este informe presenta y describe una nueva base de datos generada en torno a cuarenta indicadores que caracterizan los regímenes migratorios de los 26 países de América Latina y el Caribe que son miembros prestatarios del BID. Los indicadores permiten realizar una comparación multidimensional de dichos regímenes, identificar patrones subregionales, y observar tendencias en la evolución reciente de estas políticas. Los indicadores se agrupan en seis áreas: instrumentos internacionales que cubren la participación de cada país en tratados y acuerdos multilaterales; instrumentos regionales que analizan la participación de los países en acuerdos a nivel de las Américas y sus subregiones; derecho a la entrada con exención de visado que mide la exigencia de visados para entrar al país; acceso a la residencia que abarca preferencias en el otorgamiento de permisos de residencia y procesos de regularización de migrantes en situación irregular; derechos durante la residencia que investigan el acceso de migrantes a servicios de salud y educación, al mercado laboral, al sufragio, así como a la residencia permanente; y nacionalidad que miden como se obtiene la nacionalidad de un país en el momento del nacimiento o, posteriormente, mediante la naturalización, así como la posibilidad de ostentar dos nacionalidades. El valor asignado a cada indicador para cada país está sustentado por una referencia a los instrumentos jurídicos que definen la política en cuestión y, en la mayoría de los indicadores, se acompaña de un texto con información adicional que explica el caso en concreto. Esta es una base de datos única para la región y se encuentra incluida en el Anexo II de este informe. También se puede acceder a la misma a través de la página web de la Unidad de Migraciones del BID. Los principales hallazgos del análisis de la base de datos son: Se observa un emergente régimen jurídico migratorio latinoamericano del siglo XXI. Este se caracteriza por la adopción de nuevas leyes de migración, generalmente acompañadas por esquemas subregionales de movilidad como el Acuerdo de Residencia Mercosur, Bolivia y Chile, y más recientemente el Estatuto Andino. Este nuevo modelo del siglo XXI incluye generalmente mecanismos permanentes de regularización de migrantes, el derecho de acceso al mercado laboral, los sistemas de salud pública, la educación pública, así como el derecho de reunificación familiar. Esto se ve complementado con un mayor acceso al derecho al voto, al menos en elecciones locales. Si bien hasta la fecha no se observa que este modelo latinoamericano haya tenido influencia en el Caribe, el mismo está claramente arraigado en las otras tres subregiones. La regularización de migrantes en situación irregular, tanto a través de mecanismos permanentes establecidos en las leyes, como a través de programas extraordinarios de regularización, es absolutamente común en América Latina, aunque no así en el Caribe. Los países de la región han llevado a cabo más de 90 regularizaciones extraordinarias desde el año 2000. Muchos de los países ofrecen acceso preferencial a la residencia permanente para migrantes de ciertos países de la región que cumplan criterios básicos, y, en algunos casos, trato preferencial para la nacionalización. Los únicos países que no permiten la residencia de manera casi automática para nacionales de al menos otro país de la región son Bahamas y Haití en el Caribe, así como Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá, República Dominicana y México en Mesoamérica. El porcentaje de ratificación de los instrumentos internacionales, al igual que los instrumentos regionales, es muy alto en Latinoamérica, pero mucho menor a nivel subregional en el Caribe. Los acuerdos de libre residencia y movilidad regional se han convertido es un instrumento absolutamente común en el panorama legislativo de la región, e influyen sobre muchos aspectos de la política migratoria, tales como acceso al mercado laboral o reunificación familiar. El país que requiere visas a los nacionales de más estados en la región es Venezuela con 11, seguido de México con nueve. El caso venezolano puede explicarse por su aplicación del principio de reciprocidad con los estados que solicitan visa a sus nacionales. El hecho de ser un país de tránsito hacia los Estados Unidos para algunos migrantes puede explicar el caso mexicano. El estado cuyos nacionales requieren visa en más países de la región es Haití, seguido de Venezuela y República Dominicana. En el desarrollo de la base de datos a través de los 40 indicadores se han analizado más de 435 instrumentos jurídicos de los 26 países, los cuales definen su política migratoria. El análisis de este compendio de leyes, reglamentos, decretos, ordenes administrativas, y demás instrumentos demuestra que: La edad promedio de los instrumentos jurídicos vigentes en países andinos y del Cono Sur es de 8-15 años, lo cual se compara con los 25-30 años en Mesoamérica y el Caribe. Esto demuestra una mayor labor legislativa sobre la materia en dichas dos subregiones en los últimos años. En algunas áreas, tales como la regulación del régimen de visas o los procesos extraordinarios de regularización de migrantes en situación irregular, la actividad legislativa se apoya principalmente en decretos y ordenes administrativas adoptadas por el poder ejecutivo sin intervención de los parlamentos. Esto genera reglas con menor estabilidad y certeza jurídica para todos los actores involucrados: migrantes, administración, poder judicial y otros. Esta base de datos de indicadores e instrumentos jurídicos es parte de un esfuerzo de la Unidad de Migraciones del BID de contar con información y evaluación comparada de los regímenes de política migratoria en los países de la región entre otros insumos jurídicos e institucionales. La Unidad mantendrá la base de datos actualizada con el objetivo de que se convierta en un punto de referencia fundamental para la región.

Abstract:
El 91% de las personas que se dedican al trabajo doméstico remunerado son mujeres. El trabajo doméstico supone en promedio, alrededor del 11% del empleo de las mujeres en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), siendo una de las fuentes de ingreso más importantes para las mujeres, sobre todo para las mujeres indígenas urbanas, afrodescendientes y migrantes, que están sobrerrepresentadas en el trabajo doméstico. Históricamente, el trabajo doméstico remunerado ha estado desvalorizado socialmente y caracterizado por la precariedad, altísimos niveles de informalidad y la mala calidad de empleo. A pesar de esto, estas trabajadoras cumplen un rol fundamental en la sociedad, ya que se encargan no sólo de las tareas del hogar, sino en gran medida del cuidado infantil, y cada vez más, también de las personas mayores. En el contexto de una creciente digitalización de la economía y los hábitos de consumo, al igual que en otras geografías, en ALC están emergiendo las plataformas digitales de trabajo como nuevas intermediarias entre las familias y las empleadas domésticas, cuidadoras y niñeras. Este estudio contribuye a generar conocimiento sobre las plataformas digitales que operan en el sector del trabajo doméstico y de cuidados a domicilio en la región y a descubrir nuevas áreas de oportunidad en la búsqueda de soluciones WorkerTech que impacten positivamente en la generación de empleo de calidad y en un mayor bienestar de los trabajadores del sector, en su mayoría mujeres y de contextos vulnerables. A su vez, profundiza en el análisis de siete (7) plataformas digitales que ofrecen servicios de cuidados y servicios domésticos en ALC. Es la primera vez que se realiza un mapeo de este sector, ofreciendo una base para futuros estudios sobre la economía de los cuidados y las plataformas digitales y servicios Workertech. Este estudio fue motivado por la evidencia que han dejado los dos años de la pandemia de COVID-19 sobre la importancia, y a la vez la fragilidad, de los sistemas de cuidados de muchos países a nivel global, incluida la región, y de las consecuencias que la pandemia ha tenido sobre la pérdida de empleo de muchas mujeres. El análisis de estas plataformas ha permitido confirmar que la digitalización del sector del trabajo doméstico y de cuidados a domicilio está todavía en una etapa incipiente. Esto implica que es un momento óptimo para aprender de las experiencias de la economía de plataformas en otros sectores e incidir para que éstas prioricen las condiciones laborales de unas trabajadoras que históricamente han estado muy invisibilizadas y socialmente infravaloradas.
