Beskrivning
This brief studies the phenomenon of street children in two cities in Peru. It looks at some of the conceptual issues and, after analysing why children are in the street and what behaviour and which aspirations they exhibit, deals with the policy issues and lessons to be learned. This brief investigates when and why the transition from children on the street (street-working children) to children of the street (street living children) takes place and elucidates how they survive. It explains the fluidity and the risks involved in any type of child street life.

Recensioner i media

"This book focuses on the topic of children on the Peruvian streets in the cities of Lima and Cuzco. ... This book is relevant because it combines an in-depth fieldwork with a detailed analysis of every important aspect from child street life. This publication is very enriching for those that work with street children. It also promotes thinking again about one of the hardest social realities, understanding that a better comprehension would allow policy development and more efficient interventions." (Maria Juliana Laurito, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 11, 2016)
