Unaccompanied underage arrivals in care by gender in Germany 2011-2022

¹ Until 2016: taken into care according to §42 SGB VIII; from 2017: preliminary and regular care based on §§42 SGB VIII and 42a SGB VIII (may apply to unaccompanied children and adolescents arriving in Germany).

² According to the source, from 2017 onwards double counts of children and adolescents are possible, if these have first been taking into preliminary care based on § 42a SGB VIII and subsequently once again taken into care on a regular basis following § 42 Absatz 1 Number 3 SGB VIII (may apply to unaccompanied children and adolescents arriving in Germany). The source notes that time period comparisons are therefore possible only in a limited capacity.

Ab 2014: children and adolescents with gender listed as "no information" (based on § 22 Absatz 3 PStG) listed under male, according to the source.

Figures preceding 2019 were retrieved from earlier issues of the report.
