This chapter examines the following question : How does the old age of individuals within transnational families impact on migration patterns of transnational family members, particularly in relation to care patterns? By exploring the care relationships that develop between older people and their progeny, whether at a distance or through face-to-face contact, the nature of inter-generational forms of economic and emotional support and tensions between family members become salient. This chapter centers on the changing locational family configurations linked to progression of the transnational family life cycle. Combining a transnational perspective with focus on inter-generational relationships linked to an individual life course approach, the empirical findings and theoretical insights of the author’s research on older people are center-staged in the formulation of a typology of family configurations.
