Women on the Line - Money, Migration, Marriage - a podcast by Amy McMurtrie, Anya Saravanan, Ayan Shirwa, Emma Hart, and Iris Lee

Money, migration, marriage: After talking to many Anglo-Australian couples while researching her book ‘Marriage Money’, this week’s guest Supriya Singh shows that couples share financial matters not only because it’s practical, but as a way to express commitment in their relationships. Parents may financially support children long into adulthood as a sign of care and support. Yet for many migrant families in Australia, money moves both ways, with adult children also sending money back to their families in the Global South as remittances. Money is many things - sometimes it’s about need, but often it’s about giving gifts, meeting obligations, and showing love. And the different ways that men and women express love, power and control with money are central talking point in this week’s wide ranging show all about money and relationships.
