Presentation of an Analytical Framework

  • Chapter
Young Migrants

Part of the book series: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship Series ((MDC))

Abstract

Migration has increased significantly during the past few decades. This can be largely accredited to the fall of the Iron Curtain, the end of fascism in Southern Europe and the wars in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan. The growth of the European Union (EU) has also increased movement within Europe. The majority of those migrating are young people. Some are economic migrants, some are students and some are refugees. What they have in common is that they all hope for a better future. However, the financial crisis as well as growing anti-immigrant attitudes in Europe have significantly worsened the situation for these young people. In this book, we analyse how young migrants and descendants from a variety of different backgrounds cope with the barriers and opportunities they face within seven national contexts, namely Norway, Sweden, Estonia, France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy. The book is based on a three-year long qualitative, cross-national project, financed by the EU. Researchers from each of these countries have interviewed altogether 250 young migrants and descendants about their experiences of inclusion and exclusion in different arenas.
