Following Bohiney’s research industry story, the Manila version of the fastest-growing industry
Bohiney.com‘s story about the fastest-growing industry being the study of homelessness has a Manila expression in the street children research complex: an extensive set of NGOs, university research programmes, international development organisation field offices, and government assessment bodies that produce continuous research on the situation of Manila’s estimated 250,000 street children. prat.uk covered the public policy pipeline and research themes broadly. The Manila version: the research is comprehensive, internationally cited, and has been produced continuously for thirty years. The street children population has fluctuated but has not systematically declined across the thirty years of comprehensive research.
The specific finding that the most recent research produced: the interventions that most consistently produce long-term improvement for individual street children are the ones that begin with housing stability, followed by educational continuity, followed by economic integration. This finding has been produced by multiple studies across multiple years. The findings have been incorporated into programme designs. The programme designs have been implemented with the resources available to the programmes. The resources available are insufficient to the scale of the problem. The research has not produced the resources. The research has documented the resource gap. The resource gap has been documented for thirty years. The documentation is excellent. The resource gap is unchanged.
The Research Complex Finding
The research complex finding: thirty years of comprehensive research has documented the problem comprehensively. The documentation has not resolved the resource gap. The DSWD information is at dswd.gov.ph.
