Street children and child labour
Child labour represents a phenomenon on which the public and institutional attention is very little focused, even if the consequences on child's development and health are very serious.
Child labour exploitation does not mean any implication of the child in economical activities, but it appears when the child is at a very young age (under 12 years old) or when the duration of labour exceeds a certain number of hours a week or if it presents certain risks.
According to the estimations of the National Institute of Statistics from 2004, in Romania there are aproximatively 70.000 children who work. Most of them are from rural areas, forced by their parents to contribute to housekeeping activities (working in the field, with the animals or in their own houses), but there are also children who work in the cities. These are children from Roma families, who beg together with their parents or children from families with dificult economical situations forced, by working, to contribute in suppporting their families. The children are from families with numerous members, with difficult socio - economical situation and with low educational level. The family relationships are marked by the worries of surrviving and by the mentality that children should help to surpas financial difficulties.
School abandonment, low educational and professional level, social exclusion, phisical and psychical abuses that are involved in child labour and economical exploitation, but, also, the big dimension of the phenomenon are only a few factors that proove the necesity of adopting more efficient measures of fighting this.
