About this ebook

This book examines the impacts of migration on children and youth. It brings together studies on children and youth in the context of migration and further forms of mobility. It studies both the local and global dimensions of migration and mobility processes, and promotes discussion of connecting global and local issues of childhood and youth with a special focus on questions of education. The book’s theoretical focus is on questions of inclusion (justice; morality; education), and of global and local living, different forms of migration and mobility, transfer in generational contexts, as well as on living circumstances shaped by patterns of migration and mobility.
