This introductory paper, reflecting the rubric of the special issue, brings together two themes that have recently become prominent in migration research: a focus on youth mobilities, and a concern to analyse the process and outcomes of migration through a well-being lens. The five papers that follow approach this intersection in a variety of European contexts and from a plurality of theoretical, methodological and thematic angles. The special issue is a product of the Horizon 2020 YMOBILITY research project on ‘New European Youth Mobilities’, which ran from 2015 to 2018, and most of the papers were first presented at a dedicated session on Youth Mobility and Well-being at the IMISCOE Annual Conference in Rotterdam, 28–30 June 2017.1 The purpose of this editors’ introduction is to ‘map the fields’, which we do by organising our presentation in the following way. In the next section, we open up a discussion on the nature and diversity of youth mobility, looking, in particular, at the way in which young people’s international mobility interfaces with their youth transitions to ‘adulthood’. Then, we review the well-being approach to migration and mobility, with special reference to youth mobilities. The final section of the paper summarises key findings from the five papers that follow.

青年流动性和幸福感：

这份介绍性论文反映了本期专刊的主题，汇集了最近在移民研究中突出的两个主题：关注青年流动性，以及关注通过幸福的视角分析移民的过程和结果。紧随其后的五篇论文是在多种欧洲背景下，从多个理论，方法论和专题角度探讨了这一交集。特刊是Horizo​​n 2020 YMOBILITY研究项目的“新欧洲青年流动性”研究项目的产物，该研究项目于2015年至2018年进行，大部分论文首次在IMISCOE的青年流动性与福祉专门会议上发表。 2017年6月28日至30日在鹿特丹举行的年度会议。1本编辑的介绍目的是“绘制田野”，我们通过以下方式组织演示文稿来做到这一点。在下一节中，我们将讨论青年流动性的性质和多样性，尤其是探讨年轻人的国际流动性与青年向“成年”过渡的接口。然后，我们回顾了针对移民和流动的福祉方法，并特别提到了青年流动性。本文的最后一部分总结了以下五篇论文的主要发现。
