Entre Fronteiras e Gerações explora a dinâmica entre jovens emigrantes e as suas figuras parentais em Portugal. Com recurso a narrativas destas duas gerações iremos explorar os principais desafios às migrações e à adaptação, destacando a solidariedade intergeracional e o papel das tecnologias digitais na construção de resiliência. Um olhar profundo sobre os vínculos familiares em tempos de mudança global.
Care and support are central determinants of social work. However, the needs and specificities for an integral perception of this assistance need to be drawn in the context of a globalizing society and increasingly evident macro and micro contextual phenomena. By taking care of aging people in the context of Portuguese transnational families as an example, this paper aims to be a space of dialogue between chall...
Migration processes should be analyzed in terms of their psychosocial impact within a multisystemic context. This study aims to identify the psychosocial and sociodemographic factors that influence the well-being of Portuguese migrants, focusing on aspects such as educational qualifications, health, employment status, the length of time they have been outside Portugal and where they live. Participants are 395 P...
Migratory research projects are increasingly concerned with bringing together those ‘who go’ and those ‘who stay’, considering the impact of living in transnational family relationships. The perception and use of space have moved between digital and face-to-face spaces in the management of these dynamics. Considering that Portugal has both a high rate of ageing and a high number of young adult emigrants, it is ...
Although the study of migration has shifted its focus from an individual perspective (on those who emigrate) to also include their integration networks in the country of destination, it is also necessary to consider the dynamics with their family in the country of origin. With an integral focus on the analysis of Portuguese transnational families, this paper aims to reflect on how the connection between those w...

Families are agents of primary socialisationthat influence the system of beliefs and attitudes regarding the perception of self and others, being crucial for the development of inclusive identity(ies) since childhood. Using the identification of cultural characteristics based on uncertainty avoidance, principles of resilience and the consideration of transnational fam ilies as an exam ple to study intercultural...
The use of new communication technologies promotes dynamics with presence between face-to-face and digital ways in transnational families. Relationships are perceived by migrants in these families as enriching, but also as points of contradiction and paradox. This study aims to explore, through the dimensions of the intergenerational solidarity (IS) model, how emigrants perceive the interaction with their paren...
Motivations for migratory movements tend to be contextualised at an individual level and refer to opportunities related to the country of destination. In the Portuguese context, this view is increasingly limited when we analyse the emigration of young adults since this process directly involves family figures in the country of origin, as they tend to be the first source of support. This paper aims to explore th...
