“…) Tarkastelun kohteena on siten myös hoivapolitiikka, jonka Anttonen (2009, 55) käsitteellistää ennen muuta julkisen vallan, valtion ja kuntien, harjoittamaksi politiikaksi, joka ilmenee lainsäädännössä ja lakiin perustuvissa hoivapoliittisissa etuuksissa ja palveluissa. WPR-metodia on käytetty esimerkiksi koulutuksen, prostituution, perheenyhdistämisen kriteerien ja markkinaistumisen analysoimiseen (Eggebo 2010;Carson & Edwards 2011;Southgate & Bennett 2014;Burau, Zechner, Dahl & Ranci 2016).…”

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan ikääntyneiden perhehoitoa, jolla tarkoitetaan ikääntyneen henkilön lyhyt-, osa-aikais- tai pitkäaikaishoitoa ja asumista perhehoitajan kodissa. Artikkelin tarkoituksena on tunnistaa tekijöitä, jotka ovat perhehoidon taustalla ja joiden varassa perhehoitoa kehitetään ikääntyneiden hoivan yhdeksi vaihtoehdoksi. Lisäksi artikkelissa tarkastellaan perhehoitoa hoivapoliittisena ratkaisuna julkisen ja yksityisen rajalla semiformaaliuden ja (de)domestikaation käsitteiden kautta. Aineistona käytetään eduskunnan täysistuntojen pöytäkirjoja sekä perhehoito- ja perhehoitajalakeja ja näiden lakien hallituksen esityksiä, joita analysoidaan Carol Bacchin WPR-metodin avulla. Tulosten mukaan ikääntyneiden perhehoidon kehittäminen perustuu yhtäältä oletuksiin siitä, että ikääntyneet haluavat asua omassa kodissaan mahdollisimman pitkään, ja toisaalta siihen, että kodinomainen palveluratkaisu on parempi niin ikääntyneelle itselleen ja julkiselle taloudelle kuin laitoshoito. Oletukset liittyvät ennen kaikkea kodin ja perheen ensisijaisuuteen hyvän hoivan järjestämisessä. Perhehoidon kehittämisessä ei problematisoida ikääntyneen omia valinnanmahdollisuuksia perhehoitoon pääsemisessä. Something new, something old, something borrowed – adult foster care for older people in Finland In this article, a new care and housing service called adult foster care for older people is examined by using Carol Bacchi’s WPR method. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyse the reasons behind the current enthusiasm to develop this service. In addition, adult foster care is analysed as a semiformal and domesticated political solution between public and private spheres. The data consists of proceedings of plenaries of the Finnish Parliament, the Act on Adult Foster Care, the Act on Adult Foster Carer, and proposals of the government. The results show that the development of adult foster care is based on the following assumptions: older people want to live in their own homes for as long as possible, and a home-like service solution is better both for older people themselves and for public economy than traditional long-term service. The main assumption is that home and family are essential in providing good care for older people. However, older peoples’ own freedom of choice is not problematised at all.

Abstract:This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the 'What is the problem represented to be?' (WPR) approach, which understands policies as problematizations.We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded certain racialized migrant families from cultural citizenship. Simultaneously, however, the public debate 'whitewashed' other families to make them suitable for inclusion. Here, the right to care for elderly family members played a central part in negotiations over cultural citizenship.Keywords: family migration, cultural citizenship, race, media, parliamentary debates, intersectionality The names of the authors appear in alphabetical order to indicate equal contribution to the article.

“…Transnational marriages among Europe's second generation are especially common among children of labour migrants from South Asia, Turkey and Morocco (Beck-Gernsheim 2007; Daugstad 2008;Schmidt 2011), and these communities also often practice arranged marriages. Consequently, migration scholars tend to see the marriage process as a family project, and often concentrate on the parents' motivations for transnational marriages (Beck-Gernsheim 2007;Shaw 2001).…”

“…Of the marriages that the children of Pakistani immigrants in Norway have entered, 70 per cent have been with a spouse from Pakistan (Daugstad 2008). However, the tendency to marry transnationally seems to be declining (Sandnes 2013; see also Van Kerckem et al 2013).…”

“…To begin with, Pakistani immigrant women have low employment rates, both in Norway and other European countries, and this has been understood as (at least partly) reflecting cultural values and traditions (Cheung 2014;Farris & de Jong 2013;Heath & Martin 2013). At the same time, the children of Pakistani immigrants predominantly marry transnationally Daugstad 2008), thus making the question of how transnational marriages will impact women's participation in paid work highly relevant. Still, the second generation in Norway have been raised in a society that, together with the other Scandinavian countries, stands out as having a strong gender equality ideology and high rates of female employment, even amongst mothers of young children (Ellingsaeter 2009).…”

Transnational Marriages and Second-Generation Women’s Employment

This article studies transnational marriages among the second generation and analyses the processes through which transnational marriages shape second-generation women's attachment to work. Based on in-depth interviews with second-generation women of Pakistani descent in Norway, along with some of their husbands, the article identifies three processes through which transnational marriages can shape women's attachment to work: 1) conflicting expectations concerning childcare and women's employment; 2) unsettled gendered power relations; and 3) economic instability. Contrary to the public concern that transnational marriages will impede second-generation women's employment, this study suggests that marrying transnationally can create incentives for second-generation women's paid work.
