Beck & Beck-Gernsheim (2014)In reference to how family structures have been impacted by migration, these postmodernist sociologists argue there is a growth of 'world families' and 'distant love', in which love and other forms of relationships are conducted between people living in different countries and continents.

Deborah Chambers (2012)In reference to how gender roles have been impacted by migration, this postmodernist sociologist argues there is the 'purchase of intimacy', where women are part of a growing trade in surrogacy, mail-order brides and domestic labour - for example, nannies.

Gender RolesThis is impacted by migration:
-Women are commodified by the global trafficking trade.

GlobalisationThis is the idea that barriers between societies are disappearing and people are becoming increasingly inter-connected:
-This is the result of many processes, including the growth of communication systems and global media, the creation of global markets, and political changes such as the fall of Communism and the expansion of the EU.
-One key outcome of this is increased international migration - leading to a more ethnically diverse society.

New RightThis theoretical perspective argues that globalisation and international migration threaten tradition and structure, with the nuclear family and traditional households being undermined.
0%

-For example, the declining birth rate and fertility rates link to individualisation.
0%
Social PoliciesThis is impacted by migration:
-Immigration lowers the dependency ratio because there are more likely to be young adults working.
-However, depending on government ideology, this might politicise migration and create policies aimed specifically at migrant populations.
-Education policy might adapt to the changing population - for example, the curriculum, as seen with the introduction of a multitude of GCSE language qualifications, such as in Polish, Welsh, etc.
0%
World FamiliesThese are couples or families that remain together despite living in different countries or continents:
