The most common work undertaken is scavenging at 67.4 percent of the total questionnaires, followed by begging at 28.3 percent. Activities evolving around street vending or construction work were other frequent answers at 10.9 percent and 13 percent respectively. Comparing the trends of this years’ Siem Reap questionnaire survey to last year there has been a small decrease of children/ youth engaging in scavenging activities from 75 percent in 2008 to 67.4 percent in 2009. A similar tendency applies for begging activities. However, from a methodological perspective, it is necessary to be a bit cautious when making such comparative analysis between the two years as this years’ survey entailed more possible answers to the street activity question. However, there appears to be statistical equivalence between the two years. It has been well established that in addition the large number of tourists visiting Siem Reap and the Angkor temple complex, the local sex tourism industry has also been developing at a similar rate. Conversely, the data analysis shows that only 1.4 percent of the street children/youth are sex workers. Analysing this tendency, it appears that most sex workers are outside the target group of this report. However, it is necessary to keep in view the stigma associated with sexual topics which might impact on the survey outcome. CSCN 54 CSCN Street Children Profile 2009

In this year’s CSCN profile health related issues accounted for 42 percent com-paring to only 13 percent last year. Consulting the CSCN members in Siem Reap they explain this change due to polluted water in the river. As a consequence, health problems such as skin infections and the transmission of typhoid have occurred. Another factor determining this result is an outburst of dengue fever in the region. The second most frequent answer was related to Bong Thom at 15.2 percent, thus only indicating a minor increase from last years’ result from 13 percent. On the positive side, less street children/youth in Siem Reap appear to experience violence while being on the streets, with a decreasing figure from 18.3 percent in 2008 to 12.3 percent in 2009. Another interesting result is the number of street children/youth who have experienced prison detention, with an increase from only 1 percent in 2008 to 10.1 percent in 2009. Elaborating on this data, there appears to be a correlation with the increasing cases of incarcerations of ‘undesirable’ people (amongst these street children) initiated by the Cambodian government in recent years as revealed in the legal issues section of Frame I.
