This Special Issue explores transnational youth mobility from the perspective of young people’s mobility trajectories and the temporalities of their lives. We consider transnational youth to include young people affected by their own or their parents’ transnational migration but whose own physical mobility can be internal or international. The articles present empirical cases from Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Southeast Asia, on stayer and migrant youth in countries of origin or countries where they or their parents have moved to. The articles discuss various forms of mobility, including internal and international migration, ‘homeland’ education, return visits, food-delivery work foreducational mobility, labour migration, and aspired mobility.
Together, the diverse contributions to the SI build a rich and comprehensive picture of youth mobility that sets a research agenda for conceptually, theoretically, and methodologically innovative investigations into the role that physical mobility plays in the lives of young people with a migration background in Global South and North.
