Dr. Domfe, Senior Research Fellow at CSPS, and Ms. Patricia Akuffo-Henaku, one of our PhD students, have arrived at the University College Dublin, Ireland, as part of the staff and mobility exchange programme.

This programme is a collaboration between the Centre for Social Policy Studies (CSPS), University of Ghana, Legon and the University College Dublin and is fully funded by the Erasmus+ project.

We are accepting applications for our MA and PhD in Social Policy Studies.

Note: We will not admit a new cohort of MRPP students for the 2025/2026 academic year (applications are not open for the 2025/2026 academic year). There will be new admissions for 2026/2027 academic year.

Many youth in Global South countries grow up without one or both parents due to international migration. In the literature, these youth are called ‘left-behind’ but I prefer the term ‘stayer youth’ to avoid any negative connotations about them. Often, these youth reside in different caregiving arrangements. Research investigating how this affects their life chances or subjective wellbeing is mixed.
