This Major Research Paper explores the distinct form of transnationalism experienced by Chinese adoptees in Canada by examining adoptive parents‟ use of bi-cultural socialization mechanisms. In doing so, this paper addresses the ways in which parents utilize cultural exposure to facilitate internal community ties and transnational connections between their children and China. The researcher attempts to present a link between parents‟ fostering of cultural knowledge and a resulting unique form of transnationalism that is not initially established or maintained through the efforts of the immigrant population (Chinese adoptee community). A qualitative research approach was undertaken through a purposive sampling technique, self-selection and elite interview data. Data was collected through in-depth one-on-one interviews with eight parents of adopted daughters from China. Through analysis of this empirical interview data and a theoretical reliance on the post-colonial paradigm of intercountry adoption, it was determined that Chinese adoptees in Canada experience and are attached to two or more places simultaneously.

The Covid-19 pandemic has weakened several industrial sectors, including the aviation industry. This uncertain situation, pressing conditions and changing work environment puts pressure on the existence of airlines and anxiety for its human resources. This research wants to describe how the job insecurity phenomenon is among airline employees. The study was conducted using a qualitative research approach using thematic analysis techniques and interviews as an assessment medium and using a purposive sampling technique. Thematic analysis is a data analysis technique used in qualitative research where the researcher collects descriptive data to answer research problems. Once the data is collected, the researcher continues to read the data with the intention of finding patterns, themes, sub-themes, and so on. The results of the research found that the Covid-19 pandemic directly contributed to changes in the organizational system which then made airlines implement rules such as changing work schedules, cutting wages, making adjustment to employee duties and functions, and laying off employees. Furthermore, this change in the organizational system has several impacts, such as a decrease in work productivity, employees doing things outside their main task, dissatisfaction at work, financial problems, and a tendency to turnover.

Intercountry Adoption

In South Africa, the Director General of the DSD appoints the Central Authority. Applications for intercountry adoption are made to the Central Authority. The aim is to protect the best interests of children involved in the process of intercountry adoption. This task is of paramount importance. The Central Authority is also tasked with maintaining relationships and promoting cooperation among the competent authorities within the State to protect children and to achieve the objectives of the Convention. In addition, where an adoption takes place after the child has been transferred to the receiving State and the Central Authority of the receiving State is of the view that the continued placement of the child with the prospective adoptive parents is not in the best interests of the child, the Central Authority is required to take the necessary measures to protect such child. These measures include withdrawing the child from the prospective adoptive parents and arranging temporary care and a new placement for the child in consultation with the Central Authority of the State of origin. The Central Authority therefore acts as a “gatekeeper”, with all adoptions in-and-out of the country channelled through its checks. It fulfils an important function to eliminate practices which may violate the best interests of the child.
