Breaking the Net: Family Structure and Street-Connected Children in Zambia
基于赞比亚恩多拉贫民窟的实地调查，研究哪些家庭特征使儿童更可能流落街头，发现年长男性儿童、孤儿、男性户主健康差的家庭风险更高，而有外祖父母或男性户主有多个姐妹的家庭风险较低。
Drawing on original fieldwork in the slums of Ndola in Northern Zambia we isolate those features of a child's nuclear and extended family that put him most at risk of ending up on the streets. We find that older, male children and particularly orphaned children are more likely to wind up on the street. Families with a male household head who is in poor health are more likely to originate street-connected children. In contrast, households with surviving maternal grandparents or with a male head who has many sisters are significantly less likely to originate street-connected children.
