Integrating Refugee Children and Youth: A Scoping Review of English and German Literature

Abstract: The United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that more than half of the 65 million refugees and displaced people identified worldwide are under the age of 18. For this reason, researchers, practitioners and policymakers need to understand the consequences of forced migration on the integration of refugee children and youth in receiving countries. A first step to do that is to scope out the state of current research on these issues and identify possible gaps. To that end, the article offers a scoping… Show more

“…Similarly, the average age of women at first birth was about 23 years old in 1976, but this increased to 28 years by 2003 (see Beaujot & Kerr, 2007). Because of disruptions in education in their home country, measuring the level of education of refugee children at the time of landing in a new host country is difficult (Pritchard, Maehler, Pötzschke, & Ramos, 2019).

For these reasons, using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), this paper examines patterns of adulthood transitions among refugee children in Canada, focusing on the timing of their entrance into the labour market and formation of family through marriage (or common law union) and childbirth, which are markers of their acculturation to their new host society.…”

“…As a result, they may struggle to balance their identity between the home and host culture which can hinder adaptation (Cerna, 2019). Because of these multiple transitions, schools may become a site of marginalization for RASC, affecting their identity formation, sense of belonging, and, in turn, educational outcomes (Pritchard et al., 2019).
