In 2019, 33 million children were displaced by violence or conflict. This includes 19 million children internally displaced within their own countries, 13 million refugee children and around 1 million children seeking asylum. Millions more are on the move as seasonal migrants or internal migrants and each day more are displaced by climate-induced disasters. Uprooted from their lives, these children are among the most vulnerable in the world. They have limited access to education, health care, clean water or protective services and the COVID-19 pandemic has only further eroded their precarious situation. Our new country profiles gather the latest and most essential data relevant to "children on the move" in one place, including information on age, education and major migration routes as well as relevant national level data to provide background information.  The profiles allow experts, practitioners and policymakers to get a comprehensive country level overview of the current situation of international migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons. Users can select a specific country or filter by programmes or initiatives such as Prospects, Blueprint and No Lost Generation. Access the profiles We hope these data will inform policies and urgent action to put migrant and displaced children at the forefront of preparedness, prevention and response efforts and ensure we prioritise their needs for an inclusive COVID-19 recovery.

Mark Hereward Associate Director, Data & Analytics Division of Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring UNICEF Verena Knaus Global Lead, Migration and Displacement Programme Division UNICEF  Migration and Displacement Country Profiles (MDCP) February 2021 The Migration and Displacement Country Profiles (MDCPs) gather the latest and most essential data relevant to “children on the move” in one place for easy reference. The profiles present data on international migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons including information on age, education and major migration routes. In addition, the profiles offer relevant national level data on areas such as demographics, education, labour, and economics to provide background information on the situation of children. The profiles allow experts, practitioners and policymakers to get a comprehensive overview of the current situation, trends and projections across all countries. Users interested in specific programmes or initiatives (Prospects, Blueprint, and No Lost Generation) can use the tabs to access the profiles of countries that are part of these groups. A brief description of the programme or initiative appears above the profiles. Data coverage may vary from country to country and that the profiles will be updated as new data become available.
