Note: Therborn describes a variety of different family systems that should provide someorientation for the rest of the course. Thronton & Fricke's analyses examines how familychange was related to other areas of social change. Kağitçibaşi (2005) suggests a usefuland influential typology of family patterns: a pattern based on interdependence of familygenerations, the other on independence and the third a synthesis of these two. Baca Zinnand Qi theorise cultural change in families for two special cases. Western family researchhas been strongly influenced by the individualisation thesis (Beck & Beck-Gernsheim,Giddens) and their critiques (Jamieson, Goldscheider et al., and migrant family papers).

Week 3: Families, the migration process and global care chain (23 items)

This week focuses on migration and the role of families in the migration process.Family chain migration affects the circumstances of migrants in the receiving country, inparticular their informal networks and thus access to various forms of capital. Global carechains satisfy care needs of families in more developed countries and can create caredeficits in families in sending countries. Global care chains reflect global and localinequalities. From week 7 onwards we will discuss particular aspects of transnationalfamilies.

Week 4: Marriage I: Transnational marriages and marriage migration(17 items)Studies of partner selection have documented the tendency to marry someone with asimilar social background. The theoretical approaches to spouse selection need to bemodified for some immigrant populations and consider ethnic or national background andtransnational marriage markets. Transnational marriages are often accompanied bymarriage migration, which is subject to immigration policies. Marriage migration can be anopportunity to improve one’s life chances by moving to a richer country through marriageor a way to sustain family ties across countries. Studies show that marriage migration canempower women but it can also increase their vulnerability.

Several papersaddress the gendered pattern of transnational marriage or marriage migration andwomen's agency (Beck & Beck-Gernsheim, Constable, Qureshi et al 2014; Riano); Charsley2005 complements these studies by addressing the situation of migrant husbands. Theother main topic is the perspective of partner selection – why individuals chose a partnerfrom abroad compared to a partner from the same country (Charsley 2013;Gonzalez-Ferrer, Hu, Kalter & Schroedter).

Week 10: Family and integration (14 items)This week we address topics related to integration of migrant families. Many studies offertility in immigrant families referred to situations where immigrant families came fromcountries with higher levels of fertility than the host country. Decreasing trends inimmigrant fertility have been regarded as indicators of integration. Although the fertilitylevels in most ethnic minority groups in Britain are getting closer to those of White Britishgroups in the second and third generation, this does not hold for some Asian communitiesdespite their labour-market integration. This session looks at the trends and discusseswhether fertility levels provide information about levels of integration. The second topicrefers to the role of family social capital in migrant integration.
