In this paper the author deals with the phenomenon of street children. To begin with, the author focuses on the meaning of the notion itself and the definition of street children, whereupon the author continues to contemplate the causes of the problem, at the same time referring to the role of the family in this phenomenon. Subsequent to this follows the description of everyday life of these children, examples of what they deal with on daily basis, how they survive and what they are up against. Author also analyzes statistical data on gender, age, origin and habits of the street children. By the end of the paper the author discusses the possible solutions of the problem-those already existing and those yet to be introduced. In the end, the author reviews and comments upon the role and the responsabilities of politicians, legislation, executive power and the society as a whole. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
