UN World Youth Report 2013

30/1/2013

 
The United Nations is in the process of preparing its 2013 World Youth Report (WYR) on Youth Migration and Development. The Report will offer a multidimensional account and/or perspective of the life experiences of young migrants and young people affected by migration. On Wednesday the 23rd January 2013 they will launch a 4 week online, interactive discussion platform aimed at bringing together young migrants and other young people (aged between 15-35) to share with them, and each other, their migration stories and experiences.

Who can participate?

For the purpose of this Report, UN DESA is inviting the participation of young people aged between 15 to 35 years - considering the UN Secretariat’s definition of youth as well as local cultural context of countries and regions across the world, the long term impact of migration on human development, and a range of life cycle issues. It is important to note that the proportion of young migrants’ peaks between the age range of 18 to 29. Additionally, representatives of youth-led organisations will be invited to share their perspectives and experiences on youth and migration.

Efforts will be made to target young people who have no or limited access to internet or online platforms to facilitate their participation in the consultative process. This will be done mainly through youth migrant networks and other relevant youth organisations.

Have you or a family member been through a migration experience? How was your journey? What are your thoughts?

Learn more about how you can participate in our consultations and input to the Report by clicking here.
