Invited Session - Gazes on children, youth and generations in international migrations

Sat, May 30, 2:00 to 3:45pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Featured/Invited Session

Abstract

Migrant children and youth are increasingly imposing their particular precariousness, but also their resources and aspirations on their own welfare and that of their countries of origin and destination. They may be impelled by processes such as economic need, violence or drug trafficking and may face conflict, separation and discrimination in receiving countries. In other flows, however, younger migrants may also be better educated and more globally connected than earlier generations, impinging on their mobility and adaptation. This panel will discuss such diversity among migrant youth and children and the need for a complex generational perspective in analyzing their experiences.
