Book Review - Lausanne: Peter Lang Verlag, 2020; 358 pp. Florian Tissot, Doing Family on the Move: Highly-Skilled Migrants in Switzerland and Germany

Résumé fourni par la source

Tissot’s book offers a valuable perspective on wider gender inequalities within migrating family units through the dynamics between primary and secondary movers. Nevertheless, the limited analysis of participants of color restricts the potential findings and raises several questions for new knowledge production at the intersection of migration, career, family, and gender. These include how families without local childcare innovate to balance responsibilities, and the hidden costs of secondary movers sacrificing careers. As academic and public debates on gender equality continue, Tissot’s work serves as a reminder that the negotiation of paid work and care work within migrating couples remains gendered, often favoring men.
