Migration is a widely employed survival strategy among the country’s youth. Much like gender, ‘age’ is a framework that facilitates, constrains and ultimately contours migrant experiences. Youth migration is a challenging and neglected phenomenon. Young migrants face many challenges particular to their age and yet little attention has been given to young migrants and young people affected by migration in the debate on migration. Youth constitute a valuable human capital resource base for India. With a high percentage of its population below the age of 30, and a projected labourforce expansion of 95 million by 2020, India is uniquely positioned to reap the benefits from its demographic dividend. This profusion of young people also represents a potential demographic dividend that can be garnered by destination communities through human capital investments and strong integration policies.

Piyasiri Wickramasekara
In this paper on Decent work, youth employment and migration in Asia, Dr. Piyasiri Wickramsekara discusses migration trends and issues concerning young people in a region hosting more than 60 per cent of world’s youth population and one third of the global number of young migrants. He first outlines some methodological issues in understanding the nexus between decent work, internal and international migration, and causes of youth migration pressures. Subject to data constraints, he highlights the profile of young Asian migrant workers, their working conditions and protection issues in major destination countries.

2. Rural Youth and Internal Migration
Decent Rural Employment Team
Overall, there is a general lack of reliable and comparable data on internal migration which does not allow to fully comprehend the internal migration patterns of youth, neither its determinants nor outcomes. Much of the available evidence is at country level and comes from case studies. For instance, the World Bank (2007) finds that more than half of the 4 million internal migrants moving across provinces in Vietnam over the period 1994-1999 were young people, with a highest migration rate within the 20-24 years old category.
