摘要:In this paper several ways of changes that occur within the context of migration have been pointed out. A new settling in the host country and new working conditions necessarily bring about various changes in everyday life of immigrants. This, of course, has a certain influence on family relationships (husband-wife; parents- children), the number of children in a family, the marital stability, equality of rights and so on. Having in mind the elementary data on migration movements from Yugoslavia, for example, as well as the type of the family, the authors point out that new settling conditions in the host country as well as the existing immigrants' tendencies towards emancipation, give rise to many problems. In other words, this means weakening of the patriarchate, a higher level of equality of husband and wife and somehow different status of children in the family than it is traditionally inveterated in their homeland. The most attention has been given to the problems of marriages as well as the problems of the 2nd and 3rd generations, which are the main indicators of the change.
