There has been little systematic empirical research on the well-being of children in transnational households in South-East Asia-a major sending region for contract migrants. This study uses survey data collected in 2008 from children aged 9, 10, and 11 and their caregivers in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam (N=1,498). Results indicate that while children of migrant parents, especially migrant mothers, are less likely to be happy compared to children in nonmigrant households, greater resilience in child well-being is associated to longer durations of maternal absence. There is no evidence for a direct parental migration effect on school enjoyment and performance. The analyses highlight the sensitivity of results to the dimension of child well-being measured and who makes the assessment.
针对东南亚（主要的合同移民输出地）国家的跨国家庭儿童的幸福感，目前几乎没有系统的经验性研究。本研究使用 2008 年在印度尼西亚、菲律宾和越南收集的 9 岁、10 岁和 11 岁儿童及其照顾者的调查数据（N=1498）。结果表明，与非移民家庭的儿童相比，移民父母尤其是移民母亲的孩子更不容易感到幸福，但儿童的适应能力越强，母亲离家的时间就越长。没有证据表明父母移民对学校的享受和表现有直接影响。分析结果强调了衡量儿童幸福感的维度和评估者对结果的敏感性。
