Summary/Abstract: This chapter seeks to broaden existing discussions on social protection and migration with the inclusion of return migration, looking at youth returnees in Mexico in particular. The research asks what formal social protections are provided to youth returnees in the case of Mexico by the Mexican federal government. If no such provisions are made, how do these youth returnees create and piece together their own forms of social protections, and what do their social protection environments look like as they seek to realize their futures back in Mexico? With over 258 million migrants worldwide (United Nations, 2017), many of whom fall outside the purview of formal social protection institutions, there has been an increased interest in how migration impacts social protection and vulnerabilities.
