Abstract
The paper focuses on the analytical and empirical links between the phenomenon of transnational family and the concept of inequalities. First, we discuss the definition of social inequalities and its variety of empirical scenarios. Subsequently, we describe an overview of the current studies on transnational family, making emphasis on the type of studies rather than summarizing them. At the end of this part, we propose the idea of transnational family as a place of “entangled inequalitiesâ€. The third part shows that the
inequalities within transnational family are a challenge which should be faced through the identification of spatial scales. We suggest not just an empirical connection between inequalities at macro and micro level, but also a way to connecting them.
