This article delves into the factors and processes of migration, and psychosocial challenges faced by migrant worker’s children as they navigate into the complex realities of adapting themselves to a migratory environment, cultural adaptation, separation from their hometown, etc. This overview helps to address the diverse impacts of migration on migrant worker’s children, and interventions aimed at ensuring their well-being and positive development, recognizing their potential as valuable contributors to the community.
