1) Street children are those who live on the streets and rely on the streets more than their families. They include those engaged in economic activities like begging to survive. 2) UNICEF categorizes street children as those on the street engaged in work and those of the street who live on the streets with little family connection. There are also street living children, street working children, and children from street families. 3) The causes of street children include poverty, physical and psychological abuse, family dysfunction, and cultural reasons. The consequences are teenage pregnancy, prostitution, crime, malnutrition and drug use.

4. The term street children refers to
children for whom the street more than
their family has become their real home. It
includes children who might not necessarily
be homeless or without families, but who
live in situations where there is no
protection, supervision, or direction from
responsible adults.
- Human Rights Watch

11. UNICEF divides street children into
two main categories:
1. Children on the street are those
engaged in some kind of economic
activity ranging from begging to
vending. Because of the economic
fragility of the family, these children
may eventually opt for a permanent
life on the streets.

12. 2. Children of the street actually live on
the street (or outside of a normal
family environment). Family ties may
exist but are tenuous and are
maintained only casually or
occasionally.

13. UNICEF has defined three types of
street children
Street Living Children: children who ran
away from their families and live alone on
the streets.
Street Working Children: children who
spend most of their time on the streets,
fending for themselves, but returning home
on a regular basis.
Children from Street Families: children
who live on the streets with their families.
