The conference aims at providing a broad overview of the current state of research on three specific populations:
1) descendants of migrants (the so-called “second generation”);
2) children of refugees;
3) unaccompanied minors. Currently, these three groups are steadily increasing in most European countries.

 

The issues related to their integration into the socio-economic and political life of European countries have long been central to the concerns of the international scientific community. Recently, research on these populations has also focused on the transnational dynamics in which they are involved, in particular on their relationship with “countries of origin” and on their contribution to the development of their parents’ countries of origin.

 

As associated event, the presentation of the book Migration en Méditerranée will take place the 3rd of May at 5pm at the Ecole française de Rome – Piazza Navona, 62.
