WAs the number of international migrants worldwide continues to grow, the question of migrants’ integration into society remains one of the priority areas of our work. The Social and Economic Integration portfolio is aimed at ensuring that the youth perspective on this topic can impact global decision making, including through consulting young experts and through focusing on the specific challenges and opportunities encountered by young people and children. We advocate for the inclusion of youth priorities in the implementation of Agenda 2030, including at the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, the United Nations General Assembly and other global fora.
We consult youth voices on education and skilling opportunities and convey them at major decision-making spaces, including the Global Forum on Migration and Development and the Global Compact on Migration International Migration Review Forum

MYCP is part of the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) – the official, formal and self-organised space for children and youth (aged below 30) to contribute to and engage in certain intergovernmental and allied policy processes at the UN since 1992. Our mission is to bridge children and youth and the UN system, with a focus on migration issues, in order to ensure that their right to meaningful participation is realised. We do so by engaging children and youth entities in formal and informal forms in the design, implementation, monitoring, follow-up and review of sustainable development policies at all levels in four areas: Policy & Advocacy, Capacity Building, Youth Action and Knowledge.
