- W2892559909 abstract "This chapter seeks to highlight the inextricable link that exists between the phenomenon of street children and youth and the economic underdevelopment of the region. It also X-rays the sociocultural and political context in which the children interact in relation to their resilience. Poverty which they all share is the most important factor responsible for the phenomenon of street children and youths. Poverty is therefore an adversity which is being counteracted by resilient children on daily bases for it is a kind of modest disruptions embedded in their daily lives. Wide income inequality, which characterizes the region, is highly responsible for the prevalence of street children and youths. The phenomenon has been examined within the context of the sub-Saharan Africa region, because the countries of the region share many similar circumstances that have shaped their destinies. This chapter is also meant to explain the reasons for high-income inequality and why sub-Saharan African nations have remained underdeveloped despite their abundant natural resources and thus have a lack of opportunities for their youths who now roam the streets. There seems to be no positive correlation between natural resources and economic development when I looked at the situation of Africa. Weak institutions have overshadowed the effects of abundant natural resources. It is only after examining the reasons for poverty and weak institutions that pertinent policies can be applied to stamp them out and thus prevent the prevalence of street children and youths. Tackling poverty and bad governance are a holistic approach aimed at preventing the phenomenon. If we concentrate only on curative policies, the phenomenon will remain a vicious cycle. This chapter also includes the concept of communities with threats of self-destruction. These communities evolve from an interaction of internal and external negative forces. Internal negative forces result from weak institutions while external negative forces include foreign powers’ intervention and some negative international policies. Within the chapter, there is a comparison between the development situation of South Korea and that of the region. The chapter ends with the story (in her own words) of a street child who moved to Italy via the Sahara Desert in search of greener pastures." @default.
