Abstract
Every year approximately 33 million children leave their home countries and cross international
borders seeking refuge from war, instability, ethnic conflicts, natural and man-made disasters,
and extreme poverty. Among the total child migrant population, adolescents account for 11
million. In terms of the ratio of child and adolescent migrants to the total migrant population,
Africa has the highest proportion.
