Sažetak
This paper uses available literature to theorize, analyse and define the syntagma of “street children” and describes the descriptors of implication of the namesake theme. Numerous research, both psychosocial and other perspectives, point to the increase in the number of street children that are becoming a growing global problem, especially concerning modern emigration flows during the so-called emigration crisis in Europe, but also in the world. The problem requires the finding of starting point of understanding who street children are, as well as factors that conditioned the existence of this phenomenon. Thus, this paper can be seen also as a possibility of potential prevention since once assimilated children on the street have a hard time becoming equal participants in society with equal opportunities. However, the problem of street children could also be observed as an unused social capital since these street children withstand the harsh reality, succeeding in assimilation often imposed upon them in their struggle for survival. Researches shows an increase in sexually transmitted disease such as AIDS among street children, as well as increase in hepatitis, prostitution and beggary. Despite the fact that street children represent a significant challenge to social workers, physicians, educationalists and other experts, majority of street children are literate, know basic calculations and poses exceptional diction despite the fact they never receiving school education. In conclusion, the paper tries to present global and national perspectives of street children.
