Description:
The practice of using institutional care for children in poverty is examined, drawing on case studies from three countries-the Republic of Moldova, Bulgaria, and Sri Lanka. Research findings reveal that poverty is a major underlying cause of children being received into institutional care and that such reception into care is a costly, inappropriate, and often harmful response to adverse economic circumstances.
