The survey on original residence of the street children/youth, intended to provide
information on the origins and degree of geographical mobility among the street
population in Siem Reap. From the provided answers collected by the two CSCN
members it has been possible to deter-mine that the majority of the street children/
youth originated from Siem Reap at 66.7 percent – an increase from 56 percent in 2007.
The major domestic migration source provinces were Kampong Cham at 10.9 percent,
Banteay Meanchey at 5.1 percent and Battambang at 2.9 per-cent. The figures showing
the province of origin of street children/youth in Siem Reap are rela-tively consistent with
the previous year’s survey. 2.9 percent of the street children/youth came from Bangkok,
but these children were Cambodian who migrated to Thailand before returning to Siem
Reap.
The migration trends identified in the Siem Reap survey thus indicate a rather limited
migrant population, which moreover corresponds with the CSCN members’ effort to
provide information on safe ways to migrate and to redirect young migrants to their
destination of origin.
