Report on urban risks for young migrants.

An analysis of caregiver and youth perceptions

This briefing paper aims to provide information on the perceived urban risks faced by youth migrants and child migrants in four capital cities in West and North Africa (Bamako, Conakry, Niamey and Greater Tunis). It is based on surveys conducted with youth migrants (aged 18-24) themselves and people travelling with children in their care (caregivers).

These research is part of the  Children and Youth on Migration Routes in West and North Africa (EJM) project.
