Global Report on Children’s Care and Protection: Understanding and Preventing the Separation of Children from their Families (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY)
Researching the factors contributing to the separation of children from their families is particularly challenging due to the overrepresentation of higher-income countries in existing literature and the influence of both the objective capacity and subjective perspectives of those recording the reasons for children’s admission to alternative care. This makes it difficult to consistently understand and document the phenomenon.
To address this challenge, the report integrates key findings from a systematic literature review of global research, and it introduces new data from country studies across various income levels, filling gaps in current research to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to family separation and ways to prevent it.
