From the provided answers collected by the CSCN members it has been possible to determine that a significant number of children/youth on the streets of Phnom Penh originated in other parts of the country, with the highest numbers coming from Kandal (14.8 percent), Prey Veng (11.1 percent) and Kampong Cham (10.4 percent). The majority, however, originate from Phnom Penh, comprising 27.8 percent. The figures showing the province of origin of street children/youth in Phnom Penh are relatively consistent with the previous year’s survey. Kandal, due to its close proximity to the capital; Prey Veng, as it is a rural province regularly affected by droughts and floods thus generating migrations; and Kampong Cham, due to its highly populous and rural character. CSCN Another trend characterising the Phnom Penh survey on origin is the breadth of the source provinces, thus indicating the attraction of the capital as main migration destination in Cambo-dia. Since the survey of 2008, there has also been an increase in migrants from neighbouring countries, particularly from Vietnam (from 7 to 26 children/ youth). According to MS, the majority of these are injecting drug users in the Boeung Trabek and Phsar Touch Area. 36 CSCN Street Children Profile 2009

Out of the total questionnaires in Phnom Penh, more than half of the children/ youth (56.2 percent) describe their situation as a consequence of poverty. Additionally, as poverty encourages the movement of people, a correlation which is identified in the graphs, the second most answered reason for working or living on the streets is migration (19.9 percent). According to the CSCN members in Phnom Penh, poverty as a consequence of unemployment has increased as several factories (particularly in the garment sector) have closed down – both due to the international financial crisis and because of competitive disadvantages compared to other countries in the region. 86 The abuse of drugs and other substances is the third most common reason for ending up on the streets at 18.5 percent – a trend that has more than tripled from the CSCN SCP 2008. As revealed in analytical Frame I, a recent survey conducted by MS concludes that particularly the increased usage of ATS such as Yama has added to this trend. Of the total SLC population in Phnom Penh, the MS survey moreover finds that 41.8 percent are using substances. CSCN CSCN Street Children Profile 2009 37
