Dzieci w migracji – co o nich wiemy?
Children in migration - what do we know about them?

Summary/Abstract: When discussing migration processes, the problem of children and minors is often disregarded, although global data show the growing number of processes in which they participate. In 2017, it was estimated that 30 million children live outside their country of origin. This demonstrates the importance of migration in which the youngest generation participates. The aim of the review article is to show a broad context of the research undertaken in the literature on the situation of children participating in migration. Such situations include changes in basic social relationships, education process, and consequences and health risks of children. In addition, it was noted that the scale of these changes and their specific character depends on the manner in which a child participates in migration. Three situations were taken into account: a child in family migration, a single migrant child and a child left in their home country by one or both of the migrating parents.
