Summary, etc. note:
|
This insightful work meticulously examines the intricate phenomenon of international migration among youth in Sri Lanka. Going beyond mere statistics, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the diverse contexts—ranging from socio-economic pressures and educational aspirations to cultural factors—that shape young Sri Lankans' decisions to seek opportunities abroad.
It delves deeply into the personal intentions driving these migratory journeys, exploring their hopes, motivations, and the perceived benefits of relocating. Furthermore, the book scrutinizes the expectations youth hold regarding their experiences in destination countries, as well as their future plans concerning return and contribution to their homeland.
Crucially, the findings are presented with a clear focus on their application to policy. By offering a nuanced understanding of these complex dynamics, the author provides actionable recommendations designed to inform and strengthen future policy development in Sri Lanka. This includes fostering safer, more beneficial, and sustainable migration pathways, while also leveraging the potential contributions of its migrant youth for national development. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners concerned with youth migration and equitable development. |
