Abstract: This study investigates the longer-term effects of parental migration on the psychological well-being of children who stay behind in two major labor-sending countries in Southeast Asia, namely, Indonesia and the Philippines. Adopting the framework of the ‘care triangle’, we further examine how caregivers' mental health and caregiving quality moderate the associations between parental migration and children's psychological well-being.
