演講內容：
本講座將介紹講者針對家庭移工之長期追蹤比較研究，這是講者在東南亞地區超過15年研究的成果。家庭移工（Family Migration）是多樣化家庭收入的策略，指父母親移居他國工作，而將子女留在母國，透過海外工作的收入提供子女更優渥的生活條件與教育機會。然而，當意外事件發生（例如新冠肺炎），導致移工返國受阻或被強制遣返時，移工家庭滿足基本生活需求將面臨挑戰。此外，海外工作的財務穩定對於移工本人及其家庭的影響還有待探究。本講座將分享移工及其家庭在規畫海外工作過程中所面臨的挑戰和機遇，透過不同東南亞國家背景與家庭移工的比較案例，凸顯移工在其母國與移入國所獲社會福利支持不足的問題。
Drawing on over 15 years of research across Southeast Asia, this talk considers the contributions of a comparative approach to studying the longer-term family migration project. Migration is often a family strategy to diversify income, and, when parents migrate leaving children behind in origin locales, an opportunity to provide better nutrition and education through remittances. The longer-term results of financial security seem to remain elusive for many migrants and their families, and when unexpected events such as COVID-19 pandemic result in unplanned return and repatriation, these families may face challenges to meet basic subsistence needs, as before they entered into migration. This talk considers the challenges and opportunities that migrants and their families face in navigating the family migration project drawing on examples from different Southeast Asian contexts and diverse family migration configurations to highlight the gaps in social protection at home and abroad for these populations.
