This short report, published by the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, examines how emigration affects poverty and the situation of children left behind by parents who have emigrated from the Republic of Moldova. It also questions the reliability of official estimates of the number of such children.

The report finds that official estimates of the number of children abandoned by their parents seriously underestimate the true scale of the phenomenon.

To measure it more accurately, the report uses three alternative methods to estimate how many children live without parents who have gone abroad. The publication is available only in English.
