Cross-border mobility and long-distance communication are two central modes through which the members of this ‘zero generation’ engage in transnational family life. By applying the framework of care circulation, this paper seeks to discuss the influence of cross-border mobility and long-distance communication on older Peruvian non-migrants’ engagement in transnational family care arrangements. The paper shows, first, that political and economic factors, as well as communication infrastructures, shape the patterns of the older Peruvian non-migrants’ involvement in transnational caregiving over time. Second, it shows that cross-border mobility and long-distance communication are key means of living up to expectations of parents and grandparents being present, but are often beyond the older people’s control. Finally, it shows that these older family members create different forms of co-presence based on their professional and religious capabilities not only to provide care and support, but also as a coping mechanism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
