Some aspects to families in a multicultural world

Abstract

Families of immigrants and settled populations of immigrant origin have become central to discussions about the integration and living in multicultural societies in Europe and elsewhere. At the same time, immigrants and ethnic minorities are themselves reflecting on how to manage their family relationships in a changing world in which migration is transnational and societies are increasingly pluralized. Although many migrants are long-term settlers, or have been born and brought up in receiving countries, relationships with sending countries have not diminished.
