Returned Migrants

A study by the International Organization for Migration found that 74% of returned adolescent migrants are not studying, even though 85% live within 30 minutes of a school; barriers including documentation issues, poverty, and adaptation difficulties prevent enrollment and persistence.

An International Organization for Migration report finds that 68% of children and teenagers who have returned to Honduras show strong interest in continuing their education, as the country assesses reintegration challenges and institutional support for sustainable reintegration.

The National Migration Institute will restart a L2,500-per-person cash support for returned migrants beginning in October, retroactive to January 27, covering 32,704 Hondurans registered as having returned this year — a reduction from the initial $100 benefit offered during the early phase of deportations.

A law exempting returned Honduran migrants from import duties on household goods, tools, and vehicles remains unapplied because Customs has not issued the required implementing regulations.
