Street Children in Contemporary Greece
Altanis, Panagiotis; Goddard, Jim
Children & Society, v18 n4 p299-311 Sep 2004
This article gives an overview of the problem of street children in Greece, within the context of global research on street children. The article draws on preliminary findings from recent research on street children in the urban centre of Athens. This is an under-researched area, with weak policy responses to a problem associated with recent patterns of European migration (in the Greek case, chiefly from Albania). Methods used include observational research and in-depth interviews with street children, policy actors and professionals.
