The article presents the increasing work migration of the Polish adult population and the resulting „euro-orphanhood,” most commonly defined as the situation of a child whose one or both parents have left the country for work purposes. The disordered bond with the absent parent(s) as perceived by the child and the transnational strategies used by non-residential parents to maintain the relationship with the child are discussed.

Work migration is one of the contemporary phenomena that became the focus of numerous researches. Its political and economic outcomes in both the country of origin and the recipient country seem to be well dealt with in a vast number of treatises. The new migration wave, however, brought about a number of completely new specific phenomena. As a result of the last post accession wave of work migration from Poland, which began 1st May 2004, there appeared: pendulum migration strategy, transnational parenthood, euro-orphanage, and nanny syndrome. In the article, I analyze one of them, i.e. transnational parenthood. I will focus on the direction in which the roles of a mother, a father, a child and other members of a family experiencing pendulum migration change and the range of the modification. I am also interested in the migrants’ and their families’ social life and how their health is affected by the functioning in such families. I based my dissertation on immensely rich literature on the subject as well as my own research material gathered since 2010, which includes quality interviews with both migrants and their family members.
