Abstract

Young people migrating alone is a group that requires special attention from government institutions and the corresponding professionals. The educational care of these young people who migrate alone is a highly complex task. This chapter presents a descriptive-comprehensive study using the survey technique with 17 semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that the educational task is largely carried out by the professional figure of social education, even when the professionals do not have the necessary resources to offer adequate attention to these young people who migrate alone. However, despite the advances and improvements in training with the entry of the European higher education area, social education professionals who work with young migrants alone continue to be one of the groups most likely to suffer from burnout syndrome due to the highly stressful conditions of their work. Therefore, these professionals continue to demand recognition and face new work challenges and conflict situations that are linked to their emotional and ethical dimension.
