MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE,UNICEF POLICY AND PRACTICE” by Rodolfo de la


Garza was published on MAY 2010 identifies the negative social behaviors that migration has on
child.
The author identifies the extent to which migration hrs on the child ,He sates that migration can affect
educational attainment funded primarily by remittances is mixed. Remittances usually have a positive
effect on education but it is still unknown how remittances contribute to the quality of learning among
children in addition children of migrant parents are often left under-protected, inadequately supervised,
or forced to assume adult responsibilities they are not yet ready to handle. Adolescents whose parents
migrated often experience difficulties in their social relations, isolating themselves in small groups of
peers in a similar situation. children who take over parental responsibilities often result in a
deterioration of academic performance and sometimes increased inclination to drop out of school
He also states that Migration also affects the health of children, depending on their age. In general the
child's health can be affected emotionally, physically , spiritually and mentally , Children left behind
are more prone to psychological and emotional stress, feelings of abandonment, and low-self esteem,
all of which may ultimately cause damage to the child’s overall development and patterns of
socialization. Although psychological and relationship problems are associated with parental migration,
similar problems occur in families of non-migrants as well,
He further explained The impact of migration on gender dynamics he states that Gender differences
play an important role in the psychological impacts of parents’ migration on children left behind.
Children’s experiences with family separation may also differ depending on their gender. Men left
behind do not always take migrant women’s place in performing domestic tasks whist women left
behind do not always migrant men's place in performing bred-winning and disciplinary tasks.
Migration changes family structures by changing the role women have in family decision-making.
Migration and effects on adolescents Regardless of which parent migrates, adolescents are often left
with responsibilities unfulfilled by the migrating parent.
