Abstract

The goal of this presentation is to offer a review of current literature on transnational parenting to educate others on the effect that it has on family dynamics. We will first discuss the reasons for transnational parenting, as well as social restrictions which cause children to be left behind. In addition, we will discuss the effects of transnational parenting on the part of the child that can include traumatic separation experiences, family role confusion, and poor parent-child relationship health. Next, we will discuss the ramifications that immigration has on gender roles in the family and how the economic status of the Philippines influences the need to migrate. We will also explore transnational parenting in the Philippines and the statistics shown on the population this issue effects. Lastly, we will explore potential social work intervention strategies for families based on their family structure and dynamics. Through our compilation of research, participants will understand the significance and breadth of transnational parenting and the implications that are seen worldwide.
