	abstract = {<p>Parental work migration can pose important risks for adolescents, such as joining inappropri-ate peer-groups, poor results in education or school drop-out. It can also facilitate positive changes in young people\&rsquo;s behaviour, as many become aware of the sacrifices their parents make to provide them with a better lifestyle and education and behave responsibly in return. Given that the literature highlights both negative and positive transformations related to par-ents\&rsquo; migration, our aim is to address the impact of migration on adolescents left behind in ru-ral Romania from their own perspective. We focus on teenagers\&rsquo; experiences of separation from their mother, father or both, in different situations (family life, communication and rela-tionships, caring and concern for others, school achievements, future migration plans). Young people\&rsquo;s agency \&ndash; their capacity to self-educate and organise themselves to perform well at school and in everyday activities following parental migration \&ndash; is less studied in Romania. Thus, in addition to making the reality of these adolescents better known, our approach pro-vides information that can be turned into policy solutions aimed at improving their life quality.</p><p>\&nbsp;</p>},
