Keywords:
Migrant children health, Chronic diseases, Risk factors, Socioeconomic status, Environmental exposure, Healthcare access, Nutritional deficiencies, Psychosocial stress, Parental occupationAbstract
This topic is highly relevant due to the increasing global migration trends and the significant health disparities affecting children in migrant communities. The discussion surrounding chronic diseases in children of migrant workers is crucial for public health, policy-making, and social equity, particularly as these populations face unique barriers to healthcare, nutrition, and stable living conditions. Migration is on the rise: The number of international migrants surpassed 280 million in 2023, with millions of children affected. Internal migration is even higher: Countries like China, India, and Brazil have large internal migrant populations, where children experience poor healthcare access. Health policies need adaptation: Many host countries struggle to provide healthcare for undocumented migrant children, making this topic crucial for policymaking [1].
