IMPROVING THE LEGISLATION OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC  ON ORPHANS AND CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF PARENTAL CARE

Using analysis, synthesis, historical legal, law and sociological methods, unfavourable factors in Kyrgyz society are studied contribute to the appearance of orphans and children left without parental care, such as divorce of parents, growth of percentage of single-parent families, unemployment, poverty, alcohol and drug addiction, child violence in families (physical, psychological, sexual abuse), migration and others. The most significant and relevant aspects of organizing the placement of orphans and children deprived of parental care, related to adoption and foster families in Kyrgyzstan, as well as the problems of state children's institutions of the Kyrgyz Republic are considered. The necessity of improving legislation on orphans, children deprived of parental care and the development of relatively new forms of device for orphans, children deprived of parental care (foster family) is being studied. The authors notes that in the Kyrgyz Republic insufficient attention is paid to the forms of placement of orphans in families, for example, over the eight years of the existence of foster families, their number was 57, and the number of children transferred was only 167, which is caused by insufficient material base and small wages foster parents paid by the state, which makes this institution unattractive. Transfer for adoption to a family is not always realized, since in such institutions 94% of children have parents. In this connection, it is not possible to completely eliminate or reduce the number of state-run children's institutions for orphans and children left without parental care in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Family State

Nowadays, the problem of protecting the rights and interests of orphaned children and children deprived of parental care is gaining relevance. The family is viewed as a leading institution for child socialization, a guarantor of his/her harmonious development and satisfaction of his/her needs; therefore, foster families as a modern form of temporary family placement for children is currently deemed to be preferential. Experts gradually start to realize the necessity of transition to the “professionalization of care” in general and parenthood in particular, when care is considered as a special type of activity that implies possession of specific skills and abilities. Such activity may go beyond the domestic sphere and take place with the involvement of the family, state, market and non-governmental associations. In view of this, the development of family forms of placement requires creation of mechanisms for the selection and training of adults who intend to take children deprived of parental care into their family. The article presents motivational complexes and values encouraging parents to start a foster family. Replacement family models have been characterized in terms of the educational function implementation being successful or unsuccessful. Successful parenthood criteria have been defined at three levels: child-parent relationships, parents' interactions, interrelation between the family and society. Social and psychological features of foster parents have been analyzed, which features have an impact on successful adaptation of the family in the situation where a child is being taken into the family. The importance of taking account of additional factors that underlie potential success of a foster family has been substantiated. It is emphasized that such gender-related aspects of foster parenthood as the husbands' involvement in doing housework and looking after children, children's gender socialization, single foster parents, instances of domestic violence in foster families, etc. still have not been extensively covered in scientific literature.

Poor Families

Abstract: This article analyzes poverty in Brazilian families using a bi-dimensional measure that considers both income and time allocation. The Vickery methodology (1977), in which poverty isoquant curves are built for each type of family structure, is used to identify the proportion of generalized poverty. The percentage of involuntarily and voluntarily poor families is also estimated. Among the results obtained, it can be seen that poverty rates increase significantly when time is considered as a resource because working parents, especially in single-parent families, very often do not have the time to perform essential household chores. A higher percentage of generalized poverty is found among single-parent families and among those with a higher number of children. The highest percentage of involuntarily poor people is found among families with a high number of children.
