Abstract

This review study intends to investigate how young people's migration and the parents they leave behind are related. The idea looks into how youth migration impacts the family, their social life, their financial security, and the health of the parents who stay behind. Several other factors that contribute to migration are also discussed in this essay. In addition to economic factors, social, political, educational, cultural, health, and transportation factors also have an impact on migration as a phenomenon. The movement used to be relatively straightforward with all intermediaries present, but these days it is gender, remittance, and season-specific. The current research takes a sociological approach to examining the impact of youth migration on the well-being of their parents. The effort is mostly focused on identifying the contributing elements. The major goal of this work is to identify the causes of adolescent migration and their widespread effects on social, financial, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
