Mobility-in-Migration in an Era of Globalization: Key Themes and Future Directions

  • Chapter
Child and Youth Migration

Abstract

This book brought to the fore the complexity, multidirectionality and dynamism of children’s and young people’s movements in the contemporary world. As a result of globalization, individual migratory trajectories have shifted from being long-term, bidirectional, permanent and somewhat static to being characterized by multiple journeys, short, circular or seasonal migrations, holiday and pleasure mobilities that are dynamic and often ongoing into the future.
