Abstract
Research on Taiwanese migrants has primarily been conducted in Australia, New
Zealand, the United States and Canada, but much less in non-English speaking
countries such as Argentina. The literature on Taiwanese immigrants has also
tended to overlook young people, whether born in Taiwan or in destination
countries. The present research tries to fill in this gap by focusing on the family
ties of young Taiwanese migrants in Argentina, and the role they play in their
adaptation to Argentina and return-migration decisions. The objective of this
research is to depict the situation of young people of Taiwanese origin in
Argentina. The guiding question is, how do these young people view their family
and national identity? The method of study is first a literature review mainly
based on statistics, surveys and other secondary sources. Moreover, to get a
snapshot of young return migrants from Argentina, 18 interviews with semistructured questionnaires were conducted in Taiwan between 2008 and 2009.
