Solidarity Typologies in Dynamics Between Portuguese Emigrants and Their Parents
Publication . Barros, Carlos; McGarrigle, Jennifer; Correia Dos Santos, Ana Sofia; Albert, Isabelle; Murdock, Elke
Motivations for migratory movements tend to be contextualised at an individual level and
refer to opportunities related to the country of destination. In the Portuguese context, this
view is increasingly limited when we analyse the emigration of young adults since this
process directly involves family figures in the country of origin, as they tend to be the
first source of support. This paper aims to explore the dimensions of intergenerational solidarity, analysing conflict as transversal dimension and the presence of ambivalence, for a
proposal of behaviour typologies in Portuguese transnational families. Using a qualitative
approach, young Portuguese adults who emigrated in the European space and Schengen
area (N=22) were interviewed addressing questions about their migratory projects, as well
as their dynamics with their parents in Portugal. A thematic analysis was carried out with
the support of the NVivo software. The results indicate four behaviour typologies: (1) high
cohesion and dependence, (2) full solidarity tested with resilience, (3) affective and functional solidarities, with normative and value divergences, and (4) no solidarity and irreconcilable differences. The findings suggest the impact of intergenerational norms and values,
as they may be at the origin of communicational patterns that increase well-being and resilience in migration projects.
