Drawing on extensive qualitative research into experiences of migration and settlement among Central and East European (CEE) migrants living in Scotland, this article examines the role of intersecting emotional and material (in)securities in migrant families’ decision-making regarding and experiences of longer-term settlement. The article queries fixed or given understandings of either ‘family’ or ‘security’ and explores the complex and sometimes contradictory relationship between them. In so doing, it makes a number of significant and interconnected theoretical and empirical contributions to existing research in the field of family migration. Through a critical analysis of the relationship between family and (in)security the article offers nuanced insight into the ways in which family processes of reunion, separation and (re)formation link to decisions regarding migration and settlement. The intersecting and sometimes contradictory forms of emotional and material support, obligation and vulnerability which both family relations and processes of migration and settlement entail are critically analysed by bringing together theoretical frameworks of social (in)security and understandings of family as ‘made’ rather than ‘given’. Finally, attention given to the temporal aspects of (in)security, as well as the transnational aspects of migrants’ lives, provides new ways of understanding the open-endedness of decision-making processes relating to migration and settlement, especially where these involve multiple decision-makers.

This study analyses and compares the fertility behaviour and childbearing plans of Polish migrant families in Ireland and those of their counterparts – families in Poland. The study has a comparative and explanatory character and applies both quantitative and qualitative methods. The analysis is based on the author’s own data collected from an online survey of Polish family units in Ireland in 2014 and compared with secondary data on families in Poland retrieved from the 2011 Gender and Generation Survey (GGS). My research reveals fertility postponement and fewer families with children among migrant families; nonetheless, migrant parents have more children than their counterparts in Poland. The results highlight the significance of socio-economic and institutional contexts. The study also reveals a dichotomisation of fertility strategies within the migrant population, with distinct differences in the number of children, transition age to parenthood, and further fertility intentions between migrants who became parents in Poland and those who did so after the move. The results also provide insights into the childbearing motivations and fertility patterns of recent Polish migrants and contribute to the discussion of migrants’ fertility in general.

Research has given increasing recognition to the important role that children play in family decisions to migrate and the significant impact of migration on family relationships. At the same time, the role of emotional labour involved in feeling ‘at home’ and the sense of ontological security and everyday belonging that families develop post-migration can benefit from further exploration. Drawing on data collected with Eastern European migrant families in Scotland, this article explores intergenerational understandings of (in)securities by comparing parents’ and children’s views on their lives post-migration. It shows that, while adults constructed family security around notions of stable employment and potential for a better future, children reflected more on the emotional and ontological insecurities which families experienced. Family relationships are often destabilised by migration, which can lead to long-term or permanent insecurities such as family disintegration and the loss of a sense of recognition and belonging. The article reflects on the ways in which insecurities of the past are transformed, but are unlikely to be resolved, by migration to a new country. It does this by grounding the analysis in young people’s own understandings of security and by examining how their narratives challenge idealised adult expectations of family security and stability post-migration. It also shows that young people’s involvement in migration research brings an important perspective to the family dynamics post-migration, challenging adult-centred constructs.

On the basis of contemporary socio-economic transformations, especially after Poland’s accession to the structures of the European Union on May 1, 2004, there was a rapid outflow of Poles to EU countries, with particular emphasis on Great Britain and Ireland. It is estimated that currently about 120,000 Polish citizens reside in Ireland. They create families there, live alone or function in temporarily separated families. The aim of the article is to show, on the basis of pilot studies – free-form interviews, the essence of a modern migrant family, with particular emphasis on relationships between family members, their social roles, the implementation of family functions as part of a broadly understood migration and adaptation to new living conditions of migrants. Respondents were also asked about the issue of traditional and modern forms of marrital and family life as well as about the impact of migration on the breakdown of families or the disappearance of traditional family forms, which are being replaced with alternative forms.

Współczesna rodzina imigrantów w Irlandii okiem Polaka Na kanwie współczesnych przeobrażeń społeczno-gospodarczych, zwłaszcza po przystąpieniu Polski do struktur Unii Europejskiej 1 maja 2004 r., nastąpił gwałtowny odpływ Polaków do krajów unijnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii. Szacuje się, iż obecnie w Irlandii przebywa około 120 tysięcy obywateli polskich, którzy tworzą tam rodziny, żyją samotnie lub funkcjonują w rodzinach czasowo rozłączonych. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie na podstawie badań pilotażowych: wywiadów swobodnych, istoty współczesnej rodziny migracyjnej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem więzi pomiędzy członkami rodzin, ról społecznych członków rodzin, realizacji funkcji rodzinnych w ramach szeroko ujętej migracji i dostosowania do nowych warunków życia migrantów. Respondenci zostali zapytani o kwestię tradycyjnych oraz nowoczesnych form życia małżeńsko-rodzinnego. Zapytano także o wpływ migracji na rozpad rodzin lub zanik ich tradycyjnych form, zastępując je alternatywnymi.
