Résumé
Pour la plupart, les relations d’aide intergénérationnelle transnationale ont été centrées sur la prise en nourrice et la garde d’enfants. En revanche, le présent article s’intéresse à l’échange d’aide transnationale entre des immigrés établis en Australie et leurs parents vieillissants « restés au pays », ce qui est en contradiction avec l’idée que l’aide ne peut s’opérer que dans un contexte de proximité physique. Le modèle d’aide transnationale de Baldassar, Baldock et Wilding (2007) est appliqué à deux groupes de familles récemment immigrées en Australie: des immigrés italiens qualifiés et des réfugiés humanitaires afghans, dont plusieurs sont aussi des cols blancs. Bien que les deux groupes d’immigrés soient arrivés en Australie depuis 1980, munis de diplômes professionnels, leurs familles diffèrent sensiblement pour ce qui est de leur capacité, leur obligation et leurs engagements à échanger de l’aide à distance. Dans ce contexte, le moment de l’arrivée et les qualifications professionnelles sont moins pertinents que les autres facteurs qui nuisent aux pratiques et procédés d’aide transnationale. Parmi les facteurs particulièrement importants, notons les conditions économiques et sociales des familles dans le pays d’origine; les trajectoires d’établissement et d’intégration des immigrés dans leur pays d’accueil ainsi que la disponibilité des services de bien-être et des infrastructures de communications dans chaque pays.
Abstract
In this paper, Baldassar, Baldock and Wilding’s (2006) model of transnational caregiving is applied to two sets of recent immigrant families in Australia: Italian professional migrants and Afghan humanitarian refugees. While time of arrival impacts on transnational caregiving practices, recent immigrant families can differ significantly in their capacity, obligation and commitments to exchange care across distance.
