AB  - Studies on the consequences of migration often ignore the
perspectives of children and adolescents who remain in the origin
country while their migrant parents are absent. This is the case in
Tajikistan, one of the poorest and most remittance-dependent
countries in the world. Using a qualitative methodology, microethnography, we interviewed eight teenagers aged between 12 and
18, in the city of Khorugh, Tajikistan, to explore the impact of
migration from their perspective. Findings reveal that these
adolescents ‘understand’ the reasons for their parents’ migration in a
way that both gives coherence to this migration and invests young
people with resilience and coping strategies. As a result, all the
young people naturalised having to live with sadness, reflecting the
‘normalisation’ of this social cost in wider Tajik society. However, the
experiences and coping strategies of those interviewed are
gendered; boys were more likely to ‘rationalise’ their experience and
be aloof; girls more likely to express emotional upset. In practical
terms, boys also received more benefits from remittances while girls
reported feeling overwhelmed by domestic chores expected of
them. Through this study, we contribute to the recent literature on
the lived experiences and agency of non-migrant teenagers.
