Children in Migration

Abstract

EMN studies have focussed in the past on unaccompanied minor applicants for international protection, whereas the Commission’s Communication that underpins this questionnaire uses the term ‘child’ which covers all third-country national children who are forcibly displaced or migrate to or within the EU territory, together with family or alone, whether or not they are seeking asylum. Thus, the scope of the questionnaire is much broader than normal for an EMN output. Legal and family migration are excluded from the scope of the questionnaire.
