{"title":"Constructing a transnational childcare bricolage: Chinese migrant families in Italy coordinating transnational mobility and childcare","authors":"Ru Gao, Devi Sacchetto","doi":"10.1080/14616696.2023.2267638","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14616696.2023.2267638","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTResearch on the childcare arrangements of migrant families has primarily focused on transnational childcare practices or childcare-work reconciliation in the host society, without paying appropriate attention to the dynamic and complex negotiation processes that underlie mobility-childcare coordination. This study proposes the concept of transnational childcare bricolage to explore how Chinese migrant families in Italy mobilize and (re)assemble transnationally located and/or unconventional resources and constantly (re)adjust childcare arrangements to achieve a nuanced match between evolving childcare demand and capacity. The study draws on in-depth interviews with members from 50 Chinese migrant families in Italy, as well as participant observation and multi-sited ethnographic observation. Through analyses of their mobility-childcare negotiation processes, we illustrate how migrant families from different social class backgrounds navigate the complexities and contingencies embedded within a family-state-transnational triad. Additionally, our research questions the ethnicized division of care work between migrants and natives, highlighting common experiences of marginalization and work-care tensions faced by women of similar socio-economic positioning, regardless of their ethnicity and/or nationality.KEYWORDS: Transnational mobilitychildcaretransnational childcare bricolageChinese migrant familyItaly AcknowledgementsWe would like to express our sincere gratitude to the reviewers and Professor Francesca Alice Vianello for their thoughtful and constructive comments, which greatly contributed to improving the quality of our manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In this article, we use business ownership as an analytical marker for social class positions within the specific context of Chinese migrants’ childcare strategies. We acknowledge that class identities and distinctions can be fluid, multifaceted, and situated on a continuum, as well as shaped by various factors, such as occupation, income, education, social status, and cultural capital. Nevertheless, our analysis of the interviewees’ experiences revealed the influential role of family businesses in shaping Chinese migrants’ childcare arrangements, which is consistent with the findings from prior studies (e.g., Ceccagno Citation2007; Citation2016; Krause and Bressan Citation2018). In our analysis of 50 Chinese migrant families, we observed limited ambiguity in class distinctions based on business ownership, as none of the interviewed parents occupied white-collar or managerial positions. Such occupations only have minimal representation within the overall employment landscape of Chinese migrants in Italy (Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali Citation2022: 19).2 http://dati.istat.it/, retrieved 2023, 04, 26.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Univer","PeriodicalId":47392,"journal":{"name":"European Societies","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136097266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, we know little about whether socioeconomic backgrounds may compensate for reductions in instructional quality and to what extent teacher absence effects persist over time. This paper examines the socioeconomic differences in the short- and long-term effects of teacher absence. We use population-wide Norwegian register data to study the effects of certified teacher absence during lower secondary school (grades 8–10) on non-completion of upper secondary education by age 21 (i.e. school dropout) as well as academic achievement in 10th grade. In a school fixed effects model, we find that an increase in teacher absence of 5 percentage points reduces students’ examination grades by 2.3% of a standard deviation and increases the dropout probability by 0.6 percentage points. However, the teacher absence effects vary considerably by family background, with large effects for low-SES students driving the overall effects. Overall, our findings indicate that reductions in instructional quality increase social inequality in long-term educational outcomes. This result highlights that studying heterogeneous impacts of contextual exposures is needed to understand the role of schools in shaping inequality.","PeriodicalId":47392,"journal":{"name":"European Societies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135539023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
