Social Risks for Families With Children in Romania
Social Risks for Families With Children in Romania

Summary/Abstract: Currently, in Romania, many families with children are under the pressure of some disrupting factors which decrease quite seriously the well-being of their members. In this study, I will focus on the statistics dimensions of the most frequent of these social factors – as they have been identified in the public discourse on the Romanian media (March 2025, evening News, TVR 1), as follows: precarious economic situation of families with children, negative consequences of adult emigration in search of a better-paid job on children left at home, the influences of adults separation/divorce on the life of their minor descendants, the education deficit of the children in the adulthood stage of life, drugs use or alcohol addiction, high social incidence of the premature motherhood and its social consequences. Such factors with major impact on social disintegration and on quality of family life reduction require the initiation of some specific social policies to prevent and mitigate their effects. The latest available and relevant data were gathered from the publications of the national/international statistics, which address this kind of problems and life difficulties of the families with children from Romania and EU countries, in order to formulate some pertinent policies for alleviating the associated social risks.
