India: The forgotten children of the cities
1992
In India, as in other countries, the rise in the number of street and working children is associated with the phenomenon of rapid urban growth, especially of sprawling slums and shanty towns.

However, severe forms of disaffection and problems among Italian youth have also emerged.
