Abstract:
Consequences of parental migration , as shown by survey data and interviews are contextual and they should not be exaggerated or generalized. Parental migration does not always affect children directly but rather indirectly, by producing effects that lead to family dissolution. School plays an important role in this process, mostly an informal one,  by providing social services to children whose parents (one or both) are temporarily abroad.  A direct consequence of parental migration is child deprivation of parental affection and supervision ,necessary for his/her normal development. In the cases when parents leave for longer periods of time and children remain in the care of people who do not have the ability or the oportinity to offer them emotional support and proper education, this can lead to negative effects upon their health and psihical development, upon their academic performances and further more, it can lead to their involvment in deviant activities, inappropriate for their age, or even to eploitation or abuses of many kinds.
