Children at Risk in Romania: Problems old and new

Catalin Zamfir and Elena Zamfir

Innocenti Occasional Papers, Economic Policy Series

Abstract: This paper has three parts. The first examines the problems of Romanian children at risk in their natural families; the second analyses the conditions of abandoned children, children in institutions and other children in special circumstances of risk; and the third offers a summary of the present policy environment. Since many of the features of the situation of children today and of current child-protection policies are the product of a historical process, the paper also details the evolution under the former socialist government administrations of the approach towards children and towards social protection.
