Psychological adjustment and behaviours in children of migrant workers in China
ConclusionsMigration with parents, rather than separation from parents, was associated with better psychological well‐being and fewer behavioural problems. Our findings have relevance for migrant parents in helping to inform decisions about where to raise their children as well as for policymakers in countries where migration is a major issue. When children are left behind, models of community support need to be considered, especially for those who are most vulnerable.
