We argue that this is because international emigration diversifies the social context and content of stayers’ deliberation. As émigrés change, stayers who observe these changes through cross-border communication accept émigrés’ new values and practices, becoming more tolerant. Additionally, stayers expand their tolerance in response to what they hear from émigrés about how political tolerance is practised in the United States.

Drawing on two multi-sited projects with West African diaspora youth, we argue that changing media landscapes and youth's digital fluency are fostering novel digitally mediated grounded ‘homeland’ engagements. The digital functions as a mobilising infrastructure that drives movement to and shapes interactions in West Africa both due to increasing connectivity and the distinct social and moral norms in which the digital is embedded.

Research shows that caregiving obligations between adult children and their parents can induce care burden and negatively impact well-being, particularly when children are unable to adequately care for parents abroad. Guilt is the most common of personal feelings involved in care burden and yet often neglected in research. Research also highlights gender differences in care burden shaped by social norms, with women typically reporting more guilt than men. However, we still have a poor understanding of the factors leading to difference in feelings of guilt between men and women in transnational families. This article focuses on male and female residents in Germany who provide care to parents living abroad, comparing them with individuals whose parents also reside in Germany. Through this comparison, we aim to deepen the understanding of the specific challenges and well-being outcomes related to caregiving in transnational families. Our findings show that transnational family ties do not inherently increase feelings of care-related guilt. Rather, guilt is higher when parents live in countries with family-oriented institutional care systems and stronger norms of caregiving. Contrary to expectations, these effects are not stronger for women. Still, across all contexts, women report higher levels of guilt than men—regardless of whether care takes place within national borders or across them, and regardless of care institutions and norms.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144891663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Everyday transnationalism in these marriages is characterized by religious adaptation, fluid translingual communication, hybrid domestic routines and expanded transnational identities. Unlike economically driven migration marriages, these unions are voluntary, emotionally grounded, educationally embedded, culturally conscious and gender-intersected. By highlighting love, adaptability and mutual respect as defining features, this study challenges dominant narratives that frame transnational marriages as strategic or transactional. Theoretically, this study contributes to transnationalism and cultural hybridity debates by foregrounding education-based mobility and marriage.
