Mainstreaming Youth Migration, not Young Migrants
A new report by the United Nations reminds us of an obvious fact: the large majority of migrants are young people. But the policy implications of these figures are not always well understood. Targeted policies are required in order to integrate these young migrants into their destination countries, to protect them during migration, and to prepare them before they take their migration decision. But this is not enough: what is needed is a radical rethinking of public policies in all domains, well beyond migration itself, to adapt to this far-reaching phenomenon.
