  1. Panel 4: Strategies of Reinsertion and Family and Social Integration Reinsertion: Re- inclusion or reinstatement of an individual into a group or process, e.g., of a migrant into the society of their country of origin. This includes family, social, economic and cultural reintegration. Integration: The process by which immigrants, both individually and in groups, are accepted in a society. The particular requirements for acceptance by a society vary from country to country. The responsibility for integration lies not only on immigrants but also the recipient government, institutions and communities.

  2. According to IOM regional study: • 58.1% of returned migrant children and adolescents intend to repeat migration cycle • 23.3% will not migrate again for fear of risks • 18.6% is undecided and is likely to migrate again.

  3. Some Strategic Issues Limited coordination between guardians in the shipping country and the country receiving the children and adolescents. Example: Difficulty in preparing reintegration when there is no prior information. Difficulty in locating family of unaccompanied children and adolescents, therefore, psychosocial support prior and during family integration process is limited. Return (by deportation, rejection or expulsion) often has a psychological impact on children and adolescents hindering their proper reintegration. Return to situations as precarious as those that prompted their migration. Compiled studies conducted by IOM, ILO, UNHCR and UNICEF

  4. Difficulties in integrating migrant children and adolescents who remain in the country of destination: uprooting, cultural shock, usual behavior shock; legal limbo of immigration status or personal status (in case of refugees and victims of trafficking) • Rejection of the environment • Migration regulation and regulations on protection of children and adolescents are sometimes contradictory. • Some young returnees face problems of stigma and discrimination because they are associated with gangs Compiled studies conducted by IOM, ILO, UNHCR and UNICEF

  5. Questions for Analysis • How to strengthen coordination between legal guardians to promote successful reintegration and family and social integration? • How to strengthen family identification for comprehensive psychosocial work with children and adolescents, their families and communities? • What alternatives exist or could be promoted children and adolescents that cannot return to their families because there has been abuse? • What mechanisms exist or should exist for monitoring reinserted children and adolescents or migrant children or adolescents in process of integration? • What can be replicated from the experiences of good practices in the integration of migrant children and adolescents already existing in the region? • How to transfer public policies locally?
