Abstract

"Transnational Social Protection" is a book that explores the relationship between international migrants and their families, focusing on their mutual support and protection in the face of changing welfare state landscapes. The authors introduce the concept of "hybrid transnational social protection," which encompasses a wide range of policies, initiatives, and institutions that safeguard migrants and their families across borders. The book examines various aspects of social protection, including family caregiving, education, labor, health, and aging, providing valuable insights into the complexities of these issues. While the authors acknowledge the role of social networks, they do not fully explore their significance. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive perspective on transnational social protection and is recommended for scholars and educators in the field. [Extracted from the article]
