Transnational family research documented well the challenges that migrated adult children experience when they want to provide care to their stayed‐behind families. Yet similar results are provided by research on long‐distance carers who are not international migrants. So far, it remains unclear how challenges of providing support to family members relate to the geographical distance between them, or rather to the cross‐border character of migration, it is when the (expected) caregivers and care‐receivers live in two different nation‐states. This article thus investigates the role of geographical distance and cross‐border separation on perceived intergenerational care burden of residents in Germany who feel in responsibility or provide care to their parents. We use data from a survey with 2900 migrant and nonmigrant residents in Germany. Findings reveal that geographical distance and cross‐border separation constitute two independent, accumulating stressors for burden experienced by individuals caring for their parents. Furthermore, we can show that the link between cross‐border separation and intergenerational care burden is due to increased time and financial costs but particularly due to legal restrictions to mobility such as non‐German citizenship or visa restrictions. The study represents one of the initial attempts to elucidate the mechanisms underlying distance and cross‐border separation in transnational intergenerational care, demonstrating that general theoretical frameworks for understanding burden in intergenerational care relationships can be applied to cross‐border family constellations.

本地、远距离和跨国家庭的代际照料:地理距离和跨境分离对主观照护负担的影响
跨国家庭研究很好地记录了迁移的成年儿童在想为留守家庭提供照顾时所面临的挑战。然而,对非国际移民的长途照顾者的研究也提供了类似的结果。到目前为止,尚不清楚为家庭成员提供支持的挑战与他们之间的地理距离有何关系,或者更确切地说,与移民的跨境性质有关,即当(预期的)照顾者和照顾者生活在两个不同的民族国家时。因此,本文调查了地理距离和跨境分离对德国居民的代际照顾负担的影响,这些居民感到有责任或为父母提供照顾。我们使用了对德国 2900 名移民和非移民居民的调查数据。研究结果表明,地理距离和跨境分离构成了两个独立的、不断积累的压力源,这些压力源是照顾父母的个人所承受的负担。此外,我们可以证明,跨境分离与代际照顾负担之间的联系是由于时间和财务成本的增加,但特别是由于对流动性的法律限制,例如非德国公民身份或签证限制。该研究是阐明跨国代际护理中距离和跨境分离机制的初步尝试之一,表明理解代际护理关系中负担的一般理论框架可以应用于跨境家庭星座。
