Abstract

The legal status and classification of children in European Union countries in the context of migration and mobility caused by full-scale war has been analysed. The aim of the study is to develop an author’s classification of categories of children displaced by war, taking into account international legal norms and EU practices. The analysis employed theoretical, comparative-legal, analytical, and interdisciplinary methods. The paper highlights the following main categories: refugee children, children under temporary protection, migrant children, asylum seekers, state-less children, unaccompanied children, separated children, children in alternative care, victims of human trafficking, as well as internally displaced children and those who remained in Ukraine when their parents migrated. Particular attention is paid to ensuring the right to education for children from Ukraine in Germany and Switzerland, as well as the risks associated with prolonged temporary protection and uncertain status. The result is a systematic classification that integrates the legal, humanitarian and educational dimensions of child mobility and can be used as an analytical basis for developing policies to protect and integrate refugee children into the education systems of host countries.
