Description

What happens to grandparents when youth move away from rural roots and middle-aged adults migrate for economic opportunities? Linked Lives explores these questions through intimate glimpses into homes within a Sri Lankan Buddhist village. This book examines how elders maintain their role in the family by using moral authority and control over valuable property to ensure they receive physical and spiritual care. As labor migration changes traditional family structures, grandparents often step in to perform essential care work for their grandchildren. This work supports the stability of the extended family and allows migration to continue. Part of the Global Perspectives on Aging series, this text provides a deep look at how kinship and migration shape the lives of older adults in changing social landscapes.
