00 02b00families living in Japan have significantly changed the relationships and responsibilities within the household members. The situations in most cases are the results from their focus on financial savings, which compel parents to work more hours per day and remain in the factories during all day. Peruvian parents have accepted that their primordial objective is the wage target. It is taken for granted that it will help to improve and develop all the family members. Thoughts relating to the commitment of producing enough savings that could be used at the time of returning are held for most Peruvians without a clear decision of their future residence. 02br
02br
00As a remarkable example, then, while staying in Japan, worries about the increasing or decreasing of the production are always linked with the overtime work. In cases when the production is reduced to eight hours or less daily, it makes its effect on some parents who would quickly consider it necessary to look for part-time jobs on weekends.02br

00The circumstances in which Peruvians do not balance correctly their time inside and outside the household have originated a serious gap with their children. The most significant element that is causing this disequilibrium is the recurrent absence of both parents from home. This situation has led children to basically raise themselves. On the other hand, the consequences from the long working hours at Japanese factories are the tiredness and disinterestedness of parents who return home and establish superficial communication with the children. It is logical that after long periods of work, it ends in a physical collapse of the parents. Back home the activities are always limited to prepare the next day duties, such as the uniform and the lunch boxes for the family members. 02br
02br
00Involvement in children’s education is always relegated because of their lack of time and their physical fatigue, which is also conditioned by the poor ability of Japanese that keeps parents apart from helping children with the academic duties. Because the parents themselves are not proficient in Japanese, and their work schedules keep them too busy to be actively involved in their children’s education.02br
02br
00 00In the case of children, because of their awareness of the family condition, they do not react badly or assume conflictive positions because the situation and00 goals were explained carefully to them. Besides, for them, the most possible time spent in front of the TV or the video games is the best, and for the elder brothers the responsibilities of the younger siblings is added to their home school duties. In both cases, different from age, the younger and elder brothers handle their free time by themselves.02br
02br
00 00At the same time, these circumstances have created a different panorama in which the family’s members handle new roles. As examples, the new dynamics for female Peruvians which exhibit diverse qualities, such as more independence from the household work, high contribution to the family’s economy have significantly modified the traditional gender roles. A married woman working full time is the most common characteristic amongst Peruvian women in Japan, which greatly differ from the traditional role that Peruvian wives have in the home country. In Peru, mothers work three or four days in a week, or if they work daily, at the time of returning they do not feel so exhausted as their counterparts in Japan. At home, women need to continue with the leading of the house and their relationship with the children is judged as fundamental to the maintenance of the family harmony.02br

00 00Takashi (2000) emphasizes that “living in Peru does not originate so many cases of family separation or divorces because they have taken another form of life, though in Japan the preoccupation is the work”01a

00 00 00An important element to consider is the different styles of communication among family members. In Peru non-verbal communication, through touching is very important, and for Peruvians is the way to express closeness and concern. Many are the cases, where parents in Japan have had to leave the manners of corporal affection towards their children, because children grew and formed with tendencies on Japanese cultural behavior. As children grow up, parents frequently complain of the coldness of their 00children, however they can not be blamed because they were not taught by their parents. 00 02br
02br
00 00It is well known that adults have more difficulties to speak Japanese than children do, and for that reason parents usually require the help of the children to work as translators when the circumstances requires. For that reason, children are in charge of the roles in which parents do not have capacity. Many are the occasions in which children must be in charge of being translators at school, hospital, shops, etc. 02br
02br
00 00Most Peruvian families00 have accessed the facilities that technology offers. For example, the use of Internet connection and TV stream, have greatly benefited them in comparison with other times where it was limited to watch Japanese television. Nowadays, this has been replaced by the new and sophisticated technology that transnational media offers to the Peruvian community and fostered by the competence that offers them satellite television, streaming television, cable and on-line newspapers, etc. With the arrival of the paraphernalia of the modernity to their homes, the pros and cons varied in a wide range. Peruvians have become very much dependent on these activities, because of their low abilities with the Japanese language. They found it unnecessary to watch the Japanese TV programs or read the Japanese newspapers. They openly show their preferences to watch Peruvian TV programs, read newspapers in Spanish and use the Internet to keep connected to the home country. The time that parents dedicate to these activities have diminished the time for the children who at the same time do not show much interest in the Peruvian TV programs due to their lack of Spanish abilities or in some cases because they never have been in Peru and don’t have any interest for a country that is thousands of miles away. In addition, the children’s abilities in Spanish have been pushing them naturally for the preference of things related to the Japanese society. 02br
00 00We have now seem that in current times parents are unconscious of the situation existing in their own families. Their stimulus for production of economic tranquility is pushing their lives to new forms of impersonal relationships, showing that their concerns about economic improvement have rendered them sightless. Peruvians haven’t reflected on the possibility of alleviation of the time they work to dedicate to the care of the family,00 00resulting in the increase of more families with odd relationships and uncommon communication styles.00 02br
