The study of familial migratory network: An inquiry whithin the help center A. Chiara (Palermo)

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: The present paper proposes a synthetic methodology in order to give a more exhaustive picture of the migratory phenomenon by the use of different instructive sources. In particular we suggest a socio-demographic analysis of the procreative behaviour and familiar strategies. For this purpose a socio-sanitarian centre in Palermo, as a place of observation of the migratory realities, offers the possibility to investigate the process under different facets. The use of a non-institutional centre allows a direct contact with the “less visible” migrants which enables the researcher to get more complete information. This survey has adopted the questionnaire as main tool of investigation, in order to recognise the influences of kinship and cultural constraints. Two different but complementary typologies of questionnaires have been adopted: a familial background questionnaire and a gynaecological questionnaire.
