Furthermore, it highlights that childhood, youth and migration as well as local and global perspectives need to be thought and analyzed together, to address the significant dimensions of social inequality in the context of growing up. Migration as a phenomenon is most often motivated by the search for a better life.

It studies questions of global and local living and highlights living circumstances shaped by patterns of migration and mobility.
