Abstract

The impact of widespread international labor migration on the family in Tonga is examined. The author describes how migration has affected gender and kinship relations. She also examines the ways in which church and state ideologies encourage the development of the nuclear family, while overseas labor migration creates a need to maintain extended support systems among family networks.

  • Many reasons for migration are linked to locally frustrated desires for socio-economic mobility linked to the lack of employment opportunities.

    “While people migrate for different reasons that have also changed over time (Cowling 1990 ; Gailey 1992 ; Ka'ili 2005 ; Lee 2003 ; Small 1997 ), many of these reasons are linked to locally frustrated desires for socio-economic mobility linked to the lack of employment opportunities.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
