“…Unaccompanied child migrants may experience a disruption in vertical cultural transmission upon migration. Some may be assigned new caretakers, and the nature of these relationships can lead to substantial changes in the culture that is vertically transmitted and also amplify the role of horizontal transmission from peers (Omland & Andenas, 2020;Omland et al, 2021).…”

Although acculturation is extensively studied in the social sciences, transformative findings have slowed due to overused methodologies and theories, and emerging challenges to core conceptual tenets. We seek to stimulate innovative strands of scientific inquiry into acculturation by integrating a cultural evolutionary perspective, which has been largely overlooked in acculturation research. We propose that cultural evolutionary mechanisms, such as (anti)conformity bias, prestige bias, payoff bias, and vertical transmission are instrumental in understanding when, why, and how minority- and majority-group members acculturate. The direction and potency of these mechanisms is proposed to be modulated by a combination of contextual and individual factors, resulting in acculturation strategies that can be viewed as “cultural evolutionary equilibria.” We outline how our integration of perspectives can allow researchers to model the dynamics of large-scale cultural change, increasing our understanding of the complex challenges faced by today’s diverse societies.

“…The Norwegian Perspective: In Norway, care for unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents is administered by organizations or foster families. A key point of contention within the system lies in the responsibility of caregivers to monitor and manage critical aspects impacting these young lives, particularly in the context of professional care institutions [32]. Norway, along with several European countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Sweden, regulates child and youth care under general child welfare legislation.…”

This article aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the situation regarding unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents in the Latin American region, focusing on Chile. This intricate and evolving phenomenon encompasses adolescents who have experienced precarious circumstances and rights violations, resulting in a diverse and complex group. Previously documented primarily at the borders of the Global North, this study examines the case of Chile, where, between 2018 and 2021, there was a notable increase in the entry of unaccompanied children and adolescents through unauthorized crossings. These individuals migrate either alone or in unconventional groups, such as migrant caravans, youth collectives, or even with pets. The article presents data regarding the context of their arrival, explores relevant theoretical and conceptual foundations concerning unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents and their agency, and concludes with a critical analysis of the actions taken by the state in response to this situation.

“…Vi tilstrebet å skape trygge samtalerom og at de unge skulle styre hvor detaljert informasjon de ville dele, så vel som tempo og lengde for intervjuet. Vi trakk her veksler på våre tidligere erfaringer fra samtaler med barn og unge som har utfordringer i hverdagslivet (Godø, 2013(Godø, , 2014Halsa, 2020;Hauge, 2012Hauge, , 2013Hauge, , 2016Hauge, , 2019Omland, 2020;Omland & Andenaes, 2018Omland et al, 2021).…”

Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i intervjuer med ungdom på barnevernsinstitusjoner som tar eller har tatt videregående opplæring. Gjennom næranalyser av intervjuene med to av ungdommene som fullførte videregående skole, utforsker vi deres fortellinger om sin skoledeltakelse. Ungdommene fremhever egen innsats som avgjørende for at de klarte å fullføre skolegangen. De legger også vekt på at de voksne har tilrettelagt for lystbetonte aktiviteter med formål om å støtte opp under skolegangen. Med lupe på relasjonelle prosesser og aktiviteter mellom den unge og den voksne, belyser vi hvordan unges aktørskap og skoledeltakelse fasiliteres i relasjonen mellom den voksne og den unge. Vi viser også hvordan forskning på middelklassens sosialiseringspraksiser hjelper oss å få øye på hvordan voksne i samspillet med de unge, bidrar til å kultivere de unges motivasjon, driv og kompetanse for å få til skolen, og slik også bidrar til at de unge utvikler «tykkere» aktørskap. English abstract “Imagine Yourself Balancing on a Tightrope”: Young People’s Narratives About Mastering Schooling While Living in Residential Care The article is based on interviews with young people in residential care who attend or have attended upper secondary education. Through close analyses of the interviews with two young people who completed upper secondary education, we explore their narratives of schooling. The young people highlight their efforts to be crucial for completing school. They also emphasise adults’ efforts in arranging fun activities to support their schooling. With a magnifying glass on relational processes and activities between the young person and the adult, we shed light on how young people’s agency and school participation are facilitated in the relationship between the young and the adult. We also show how research into socialisation practices of the middle class helps us to see how adults, in their interaction with young people, contribute to cultivating the young people’s motvations, drive and competence to master school, and in this way, also contribute to the young people developing “thicker” agency.
