1) Determine the relationships between the childhood experience of parental migration and health/wellbeing outcomes (psychological, physical, health-risk behaviours) at young adulthood, by comparing young people who grew up in non-migrant (control group), internal migrant parent(s), or international migrant parent(s) households; 2) Investigate whether educational and employment outcomes for young adults vary based on their experiences of parental migration; 3) Determine if outcomes differ for young men and young women; 4) Contribute to the conceptual understanding of the longer-term impacts of growing up in international and internal migrant parent households. 5 Disseminate research findings to a wide range of stakeholders, including parents, civil society, policy makers and government officials, as well as academic researchers.
