cross-border mobility, digital support platforms, sociocultural environment, educational policies, vulnerable groupsAbstract
The study outlines the theoretical and methodological foundations for modeling young people’s social adaptation in cross-border migration between Central Asia and China. The methodology comprised six interrelated stages. The results present a holistic adaptation model with four components: motivational-value, behavioral, communicative, and educational-professional. The findings support a multilevel approach in which stage-based testing helps predict migrants’ needs and guide targeted support. The model can inform adaptation modules in secondary and higher education and support interstate coordination in diploma recognition, scholarship programs, and digital and multidisciplinary support platforms, thus enhancing social integration and reducing isolation.
