ZAPATA MARTINEZ, Adriana. Transnational families and remittances: migrant fathers and mothers. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.2, suppl.1, pp.1749-1769. ISSN 1692-715X.
This article presents the results of a research study that aimed at understanding the changes that take place in families as a result from the father or mother's emigration and from the reception of remittances -social and familial- by the sons or daughters living in the city of Pereira, Colombia. The unit of analysis was the family, understood from a transnational perspective, where not only the migrant father or mother is included, but also the family members remaining in the country of origin (sons, daughters, uncles, aunts and grandmothers), who maintain affective bonds through the distance and are part of the support network, thus generating new family dynamics.
