Notas do Editor
- HIV is the big story. This chart, not ours http://www.ajtmh.org/cgi/content/full/77/6/116315-24 year oldsThis data is from 2004 but for kzn things haven’t changed much since that time and more importantly you can see the trends, which are still in place. Girls have a much higher risk than boysHIV can be a cause and a consequence of movement.
- Relative prosperity compared to neighboring countries make SA a magnet for other immigrants from around the region but there are huge disparities in the country (click) and extremely high unemployment (data), especially among young people and particularly in KZN.SA is a Relatively prosperous country in SSA which makes it a magnet for migration in the reason but nevertheless, but it has huge income inequality and lots of poverty. Also, very high migration. This is especially the case for young people in KZN.

- These are the kinds of challenges migrating young people will have to deal with30% boys and 22% girls say they want to be living in this community in five years
- AnecdotallyThis is mostly boys—they’re more likely to have ID to have been job seeking and to have social networks that would enable them to migrate for workFor girls some are moving away because of pregnancy, education seeking.
