Do you belong to a transnational family living in Singapore? Take part in a new joint study by South Central Community Family Service Center (SCC) and AWARE’s Advocacy and Research department.

What is this study about?

As families with migrant and Singaporean members increasingly make up a part of our society, AWARE and SCC hope to leverage research to inform potential policies to provide better support for transnational families in Singapore. 

In collaboration with SCC, we would like to interview members of transnational families to learn about their goals, aspirations, needs and challenges. 

Who can participate?

• You can participate in this research project if your household (i.e. siblings, children, parents or grandparents) consists of at least one migrant family member (i.e. not Singaporean/Permanent Resident) and at least one Singaporean family member.
• Your household income per capita is $800 and below.
• Participants must be at least 18 years old.
• If you are aged 13 to 20 years old and would like to participate in the interview, we will need to seek your parent/guardian’s consent.

How long will I be involved in the study?

We will conduct up to two rounds of interviews with the relevant family member(s), i.e. you and/or other family members willing to be interviewed for this study. 

Each interview will take around an hour. The first and second interview will be between four and six months apart in 2023/2024. If in-person interviews are not possible, online interviews will be via Zoom or WhatsApp voice call. Our research team will contact you to schedule the interview place and time at your convenience.

Will I be reimbursed for participating?

Yes. Each household will receive SG$60 for completing each interview session.
