Family secrets: transnational struggles among children of Filipino immigrants

Article Abstract:

Filipino second-generation youth are beset by transnational struggles which are connected to relationships with their families. Socio-economic statistics show that assimilation among second-generation Filipino immigrants is occurring but it does not portray the painful and problematic processes that occur in their lives. Higher rates of depression and despair among Filipina immigrant children are observed. The Filipino immigrant family has strong ties but it is a source of intense conflict and contradictions.

Providing a better future for these children also proves to be difficult without full information.
