The ever-growing worldwide phenomenon of transnational labor migration has resulted in the increase of families formed by migrant workers in destination countries. While scholarly attention has mainly focused on the transnational families of migrant workers, the formation of mixed families involving migrants in host countries has rarely been studied. Based on a qualitative and quantitative study of the Filipino migrant worker community in Israel, this paper explores the dynamics of mixed families within this community. The family formation of Filipino migrants in Israel reveals two main categories of mixed families: one consisting of a migrant worker and a local citizen, and the other consisting of two migrant workers of different origins. I proposed the terminologies “suspect mixed families” and “fragile mixed families” to emphasize the crucial impact of migration policies on the dynamics of these families.

全球范围内不断增长的跨国劳务移民现象导致目的国移民工人组成的家庭增加。虽然学术上的注意力主要集中在跨国移民工人家庭上，但很少研究在东道国中涉及移民的混合家庭的形成。在对以色列的菲律宾移民工人社区进行定性和定量研究的基础上，本文探讨了该社区内混血家庭的动态。以色列的菲律宾移民的家庭形态揭示了两大类混合家庭：一类由移民工人和当地公民组成，另一类由两名不同血统的移民工人组成。
