Hence, researchers are now focusing on how families and their members are affected by separation across international borders. To adequately understand the complexity of issues involved and theorize the plurality of transnational family types, in this paper, I use a life course perspective to identify common roles played by Filipino transnational family members. Specifically, I look at how individual family members’ age and stage of life affect who provides care, who receives care, what kind of care is provided and how that care is provided. The key findings reveal that stereotypical constructions of fathers, children and grandparents as dependent, incapable and resistant to providing certain types of care are no longer accurate and must be reexamined and appropriately conceptualized. This paper also highlights the active role played by individual family members in the family’s care network, regardless of age and gender.}, pages = {1--18}, title = {Typologies of Caring Roles in Filipino Transnational Families : An Analysis of Care Circulation from a Life Course Perspective}, volume = {49}, year = {2018} }
