“…Research in the United States provides different estimates of homeless youth, with figures ranging between 100,000 and 300,000 adolescents living on the streets. James, Smith and Mann (1991) report the number of homeless youths to be even over 500,000. In other parts of the Western world like West Germany the number of runaways at the end of the 1980s was estimated on a yearly basis at about 40,000.…”

Homelessness in young people is partially explained within the framework of attachment theory.The relationship between family background, parenting style, experiences of separation and loss, and quality of the attachment relationship was examined in a group of homeless youths (n=108) and two comparison groups, i.e. residential youths ( n=85) and a large control group of youths from the 'standard' population (n=1228). Also, data regarding the influence of social support were obtained. Results indicate that growing up in a family with divorced parents, and especially a lack of parental responsiveness and emotional support are significant factors in the genesis of homelessness. Social support systems can, however, act as a protective factor and thus prevent the development of homelessness.As noted by Van der Ploeg and Scholte (1997, pp. 16-18), the number of homeless youngsters all over the world has reached staggering figures. Research in the United States provides different estimates of homeless youth, with figures ranging between 100,000 and 300,000 adolescents living on the streets. James, Smith and Mann (1991) report the number of homeless youths to be even over 500,000. In other parts of the Western world like West Germany the number of runaways at the end of the 1980s was estimated on a yearly basis at about 40,000. In France, some authorities consider the number of homeless children to be up to 10,000. 248 HOMELESSNESS IN YOUNG PEOPLEHomelessness must be considered a process which starts with running away from home, a foster family or from a residential center.
