Romanian children left by their emigrating parents

International Herald Tribune publishes an article about Romanian children, left behind by their parents, emigrating in search for work to the western countries of the European Union.

The article provides the reader with the sociological background of this phenomenon as well as with the psychological situation of children, whose one or both parents are working abroad. According to the official data there is 80,000 of such children (of 4 million Romanian children in total), but social workers and volunteers claim the real number is much higher.
