Preprint: ‘Tear down your institutions’. Empirical and evolutionary perspectives on institutional care in SOS Children’s Villages

Marinus H. van IJzendoorn and Marian J. Bakermans-Kranenburg - PsyArXi

This study utilizes narrative and quantitative synthesis to review the scientific evidence on the associations between growing up in SOS villages and child development in various domains. Results showed developmental delays of SOS children compared with their peers in families. Compared to children in typical institutions SOS children do better on mental health but worse on physical growth. The preliminary evidence suggests that SOS Children’s Villages should move away from institutional arrangements to family care.
