Full Description
This timely and comprehensive book delves into this complex and multi-faceted phenomenon of migration and illuminates its diverse facets and its profound influence on societies across the globe.
In an era marked by unprecedented global mobility, as people move across continents in search of better lives, it has never been more crucial to explore the intricate tapestry of human migration. This volume examines the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of migration, uncovering stories of migrants and the transformative potential and hardships their journeys often entail. The twelve chapters in this book demonstrate the scale of challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The contributors examine policy, practice, research and professional development across various international, European and national settings, all viewed through the perspective of career guidance and counselling.
With a new chapter, conclusion, and a revised introduction, this book will be of value and interest to students, researchers, teachers, policymakers, guidance and counselling practitioners who have an interest in migration, human psychology, social science, youth work, mental health, counselling, education, and community development. The other chapters were originally published in the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling.
