ate experienced is 16.4 percent, with the highest percentage in Sihanoukville at 26.2 percent and the lowest in Phnom Penh at only 8.5 percent – a surprising result for the capital city. Elaborating on this it proves interesting to discuss: Why has Bong Thom gained more influence, and what Bong Thom related activities are most disruptive on the Cambodian street children/youth population? Health issues are other general problems face by the street children/youth in all of the CSCN survey locations, with an average of 31.8 percent. However, this category revealed great differences across the locations - from only 5.1 percent in Poipet to 58.2 percent in Sihanoukville - indicating various degrees of exposure to health problems but also in access to treatment. The only CSCN location that revealed a high level of problems associated with drug usage was Phnom Penh, indicating the availability and usage of drugs primarily being an urban phenomenon. CSCN 116 CSCN Street Children Profile 2009
CONCLUSION & CONTEXTUALISING REMARKS Before reaching any conclusions, it is necessary to acknowledge the limitations of the research method adopted in this CSCN Street Children Profile 2009 and hence the impacts on the analytical outcome. As all of the findings in this profile are based on primary data derived from the snapshot and questionnaire surveys, neither being entirely representative of the actual number of street children/youth, it has not been possible to reveal an exhaustive picture of the street children/youth phenomenon in Cambodia. Despite this methodological limitation, both the snapshot and questionnaire results have been useful indicators in order to make projections of the current situation. Considering these methodological limitations, the conclusion does not claim to represent a definitive understanding – this would require a much broader research agenda. The conclusion presented is primarily based on the analysis of the questionnaire survey data, as this represents the most up to date information. Moreover, the conclusion does not reflect the location specific outcomes, as these have been summarised at the end of each survey in analytical Frame III. Instead the conclusion aims to illustrate a broader and cross-cutting profile of Cambodian street children/youth. Profile of Cambodian Street Children/Youth Based on the results of the CSCN questionnaire survey 2009 it has been possible to draw up a profile of the Cambodian street children/youth population based on the information gathered by CSCN NGO partners in six locations – Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Neak Loeung, Sihanoukville, Kampong Cham and Poipet. A total of 1,549 questionnaires were filled out. In Cambodia, the majority, 50 percent, of the street children/youth fall into the category of Street Working Children, meaning that they have a base with either family or caregivers who they return to at night, as opposed to children/youth living on the streets. Just over 30 percent are Street Living Children, and 12 percent are children of Street Living Families. More than two thirds of the Cambodian street children/youth population are male, and the majority are in their early to mid-teenage years with an average age of 14.3 CSCN CSCN Street Children Profile 2009 117
