Separation of adolescents from their parents particularly caused by the diaspora syndrome has had negative implications on the social wellbeing of those adolescents left behind. This study attempts to find out whether there are significant differences in the social wellbeing for adolescents with parents abroad and the adolescents with parents in the home country; and use of the quantitative paradigm was found most appropriate. This is so because the quantitative paradigm is considered more efficient and it can be used to test hypothesis efficiently; hence the researchers found it suitable as it is relevant to the study's objectives. Unseeingly researchers also found it necessary to use the descriptive survey design. This design was found suitable because of its ability to provide frequencies and distributions of experiences and this enhances the readers' understanding of the subject-matter. The researchers drew a sample of 102 adolescents of which 50%(51) had parents in the home country and another 50%(51) had parents in the diaspora. The stratified sampling and the simple random sampling techniques were used. Inferential and descriptive statistics were thus used for data analysis. The study findings suggest that there are significant differences in the social wellbeing of the adolescents with parents in the home country and adolescents with parents in the diaspora. The study recommends that more research be carried out as there is dearth in the literature regarding migration and generally families left behind in Zimbabwe.
