Transnational living and moving experiences: intensified mobility and dual‐career households
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this paper I use household biographies to extend the discussion of transnational living and working by linking transnationalism with writings on the new economy. I specifically focus on some of the ways in which transnational spatial mobility impacts on the production and reproduction of daily life for a subset of transnational élites, heterosexual dual‐career households who are currently living in Canada, the US and the UK. Combining career development and family life has arguably become ever more complicated in the context of perceptions of a breakdown of employment security in the ‘new economy’ and the rise of dual‐career households. While for many households transnational living is brought about because of the career of one partner, non‐economic factors, such as augmenting their own or their children's cultural and social capital, can also result in households having a transnational dimension. Investment in children in the form of education can take precedence over parental career‐related decisions. In this paper, a number of complex living arrangements are presented, with members of the dual‐career household living in both the sending and receiving country. Some households made the difficult decision of declining an assignment abroad for the wellbeing of the household, but the economic cost was the termination of one career with the organisation that requested one partner's relocation abroad.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
