Euro-orphan or EU orphaneconomic reasons. The child is left behind, often in the care of older relatives. The expression itself is a misnomer, since it is meant to describe temporary child abandonment, rather than the death of both parents. A similar name is White Orphans.[2]
Such abandoned children may require therapeutic or psychiatric care to cope.[3] The EU supports family reunification.[4] Migrating families are sometimes divided by local child services (Jugendamt).[5] The number of Euro-orphans in the EU is estimated to be between 0.5-1 million, more Euro-orphans live outside the EU, e.g. in Ukraine.[6]
Łukasz Krzyżanowski has coined a similar term, "old euro-orphans", describing elderly parents left behind by migrants.[7]
