Summary/Abstract: This review explores the challenges encountered by transnational families in Europe amidst crises like forced migration, the refugee crisis, political unrest, war, and the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasising issues of discrimination, social protection, and coping strategies. The study analyses literature from 2011 to 2023, focusing on 52 peer-reviewed articles in English from SCOPUS and Web of Science databases. While social protection measures exist, they are often insufficient or inaccessible, leading families to rely on informal support networks and coping methods like community assistance and legal aid. The review underscores the necessity for more inclusive policies that address the specific hurdles, advocating for reforms to curb discrimination, fortify social protection, and bolster support frameworks.
