摘要

本文研究了跨国亲子关系,即母亲和父亲迁移,至少在原籍国留下一个孩子,与意大利第一代移民之间的关系。跨国家庭的研究主要是通过定性访谈和民族志。本文使用了意大利2011-2012年外国公民社会状况和融合调查中具有全国代表性的数据,因此能够将样本的发现推广到全国(常规)移民人口。结果表明,与孩子在意大利的移民相比,跨国父母的生活满意度和心理健康状况更差。即使在控制了社会人口特征、移民后的时间和原籍地区之后,这种联系仍然是显著的。如果出国的孩子不满12岁,幸福感差距会进一步扩大。与子女接触不足的移徙者尤其面临心理健康状况不佳和生活满意度低的风险。该结果强调了重申父母的社会存在与身体距离对幸福感的负面影响的相关性。重要的是,正如之前的文献所发现的那样,远距离育儿与幸福感之间的负相关关系不仅适用于女性,也适用于男性。这一发现挑战了父亲冷漠的形象,支持了最近强调跨国父亲现象复杂性的研究。

Transnational Parents in Italy: Life Satisfaction and Mental Health

Transnational Parents in Italy: Life Satisfaction and Mental Health

This article studies the association between transnational parenthood, that is, mothers and fathers who have migrated, leaving at least one child in the country of origin, and well-being among first-generation immigrants in Italy. Transnational households have been researched mostly through qualitative interviews and ethnographies. This paper uses nationally representative data for Italy from the Survey on Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens (2011–2012), therefore enabling to generalise findings from the sample to the national population of (regular) migrants. Results show that transnational parents are more likely to have poorer life satisfaction and mental health compared to migrants whose children are in Italy. The association remains significant even after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, time since migration, and area of origin. The well-being gap further increases if the children abroad are under 12 years old. Migrants with poor contact with their children are particularly at risk for poor mental health and low life satisfaction. The result underlines the relevance of reaffirming parental social presence to contrast the negative implications of physical distance on well-being. Importantly, the negative association between distance parenting and well-being holds not only for women, as found by previous literature, but also for men. This finding challenges the image of fathers as uncaring, supporting recent contributions that emphasise the complexity of the phenomenon of transnational fatherhood.
