(1) There were 1,524 observations. (2) The category of a variable in the parentheses is the reference group of the variable. (3) RRRs (relative risk ratios) in the parentheses
are the 95% confidence intervals. All RRR were adjusted for covariates in Table 1. (4) *p<0.05, **p<0.01.

In addition, sex, marital status, highest educational level and reasons for migration had an association with the possibility
of a migrant youth being employed (p<0.05) whereby, the risk of a youth being employed over being unemployed was
