“…On European soil, some descendants of Asian migrants are 1.5 generations: born and "left-behind" (Parreñas, 2005;Graham et al, 2012;Hoang and Yeoh, 2012) in Asia, they joined their parents later for "family reunification" (Wang, 2014;Fresnoza-Flot, 2015). Years of separation change the ways that Asian parents and their children interact in everyday life and impact the well-being of the latter (Bohr and Tse, 2009;Nagasaka, 2015;Wang, 2017b;Lam et al, 2019). In the other direction, some children of Asian migrants born in Europe have been sent back to their countries of origin, often taken care of by their grandparents who have stayed behind.…”

Given far less attention than adult members in the burgeoning migration scholarship, children (and their parents) are brought to the foreground in this themed section as agentic subjects whose lives are linked to and impacted by migration processes operating across borders. In tandem with this focus, this special‐themed section situates the agency of children and their parents within broader socio‐economic structures of regional inequalities, local economic stagnation and cross‐border demand for low‐waged labour, state policy failures, ethnic group disparities, technological advances that facilitate cross‐border mobility, and the transnational performance of familyhood. By incorporating children's relationships with people and places nearby and afar and situating their agency within broader socio‐economic and political contexts, we hope that the analytical framework of “situated agency” developed in this themed section will encourage more studies linking macro structures with micro interpersonal dynamics and actions in growing Asia‐based research related to migration and mobility across space and place.
