International Perspectives on Migration, Population Changes, Education and Youth recognises that migration and population changes are having an unprecedented impact on education around the globe. The number of children of migrant background is growing both nationally and internationally and their educational attainment and cultural integration will be crucial for both their own well-being and the rest of society, both socially and economically. This book presents international perspectives on migration and youth, as well as aging societies, in order to analyse what effects such demographic changes have on educational systems around the globe.

The chapters in this volume provide a fascinating insight into how countries around the world are attempting to support the education of youth in the current climate and are provided by respected academics from England, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, China, Australia, Cuba, the USA and Finland, among others. Referring to the countries’ social and political context, as well as their education systems, chapters also discuss the curriculum and opportunities to study certain subjects, as well as exam and assessment arrangements. Consideration is also given to subsequent employment opportunities, taking into account current issues and the financial implications of this next step.

The book should be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the disciplines of education, sociology, political sciences and social work. The chapters will also give future secondary teachers, teaching assistants, social workers and youth workers the opportunity to reflect on their role within a national and international context.
