CHILD MIGRATION IN INDIA
A report titled ‘Understanding Childhood Migration in India’ was commissioned by UNICEF India Country Office. Young Lives India carried out a secondary analysis of child migration using major national data sets – Census of India (1999, 2001 and 2011), National Sample Survey 64th Round (2007-08), and fourth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) 2015-16.
This research reveals that one out of every five migrants in India is a child, and provides important insights on the socio-economic characteristics of child migrants, the impact of migration on children and the nature of vulnerabilities associated with their migration journeys.
