Abstract
The report looks at the scope and distribution of this phenomenon, the profile of children engaging in these forms of work, the gender aspects, features and conditions of work, the risks and dangers related to such engagement and way of life, in particular the risks of violence, as well as the characteristics of socio-economic environment in which such work takes place. In addition, it identifies the most important factors that encourage or force children to work in the streets, and the factors that contribute to the prevention of such engagement.The report also investigates the response to child labour in the streets i.e. how such response is defined in the laws and policies, what the institutional capacities for the prevention or remediation of consequences of child labour in the streets are, as well as the understanding of the discrepancy in the reports prepared by civil society organizations and social protection institutions concerning the extent of child labour. The report also offers a series of recommendations for resolving the issues identified in the study.
