The Government of Romania has made significant progress in the past 25 years in terms of reducing the number of children in public care. However, in absolute numbers, the child protection system in Romania is still one of the largest in the region, having to provide an adequate response to the needs of about 60,000 children. In addition, the process of reducing the number of institutionalized children slowed down significantly in recent years. Based on a complex mix of quantitative and qualitative data collected in the 2014-2015 period, the book: (i) analyzes the current state of the child protection system in Romania (with a special focus on children deprived of parental care or at risk of being separated from their family), and (ii) identifies priorities for improving the quality and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of public care services. The study is the result of a broader cooperation between the World Bank, UNICEF, and the Romanian Authority for the Protection of Children's Rights and Adoption.  更少显示
