Abstract
The article treats the demand of women workforce in Italy and in Southern Europe, hired to satisfy the need of care activities in the families, and producing an international stratification of family care. Then it talks about the ways in which mothers separated from their children try to continue to perform their parental duties, notwithstanding frontiers and distances, and shows the differences that exist among transnational families in the form of a typology. The analysis continues observing that the phenomenon of transnational families is not rigid and fix. It contains an evolving component, transforming a part of transnational families in reunited families, in which new problems arise. In the conclusion, the author discusses the theoretical and socio-political implications of the questionPubblicazioni consigliate
