The Risk in the Formation of Central American Migrant Children

Abstract

This article focuses on unaccompanied Central American child migration that moves through the town of Tenosique, Tabasco, in Mexico. We start from the assumption that these children and adolescents are inserted in the migratory process preceded by adults, learning to live in the informal economy under conditions of risk and uncertainty. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between training and risk. To do this, we conducted a qualitative study. We design a plan of work in the module’s attention to minors in transit without accompaniment of the town of Tenosique. And we conclude that these girls, boys and adolescents’ migrants, from their places of origin, have lacked the fundamental human rights that ensure them well-being and permanence in school. So, when they migrate learn in informality and risk, unless the Governments of regional countries (both of origin and of transit and destination) create the necessary conditions to guarantee the right to family reunification, education and protection.
