Two research studies investigating the effects of parental migration on adolescents' subjective well-being and family functioning. The first study, conducted by zhou et al. (2018), examines the differences between adolescents left behind and non-left behind in south china. The second study, by edwards and bryant (2018), explores the relationship between ptsd in refugees and their children's mental health. Both studies used different sampling methods and assessed various factors, providing valuable insights into the impact of parental migration on adolescents.

Zhou,J.Hu,F.Wu,J. Yong ,Z.(2018) did a study to identify the differences between adolescents left behind in their home villages/towns) and non-left behind adolescents on subjective well-being and family functioning due to parental migration in south China. they used a stratified cluster sampling method to recruit middle school students in a city experiencing population-emigration in Jiangxi Province. Participants included adolescents from families with: (1) one migrant parent, (2) both parents who migrated, or (3) non-left behind adolescents. Structural equation models were used to determine the predictors of subjective well-being. Adolescents left behind by both parents were less likely to express life satisfaction in terms of their environments compared with NLB. A parent or parents who migrated predicts lower subjective well-being of adolescents and also lower academic performance. Being apart from their parents may affect family functioning negatively from an adolescent's viewpoint. Edwards, Bryant, (2018), did a cohort study on the effect of post-traumatic stress disorder on refugees’ parenting and their children’s mental health. Children and adolescents were recruited for a population-based prospective cohort study of refugees admitted to 11 sites in Australia. Primary caregiver PTSD and postmigration difficulties and caregiver PTSD, primary caregivers repeated measures of trauma history, postmigration difficulties, probable PTSD, and harsh and warm parenting style were assessed in three waves, and completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for their child. Path analyses revealed that caregivers' trauma history and postmigration difficulties were associated with greater subsequent PTSD, which in turn was associated with greater harsh parenting and in turn, higher levels of child conduct problems, hyperactivity emotional symptoms), and peer problems. There was also a direct path from primary caregiver PTSD to children's emotional problems. PTSD in refugees is associated with harsh parenting styles, leading to adverse effects on their children's mental health.
