Early Childhood Matters is a journal about early childhood. It looks at specific issues regarding the development of young children, in particular from a psychological perspective. This issue focuses on the invisible population of migrants. The problems facing the migrant workers and the consequences for their young children transcend national boundaries. Children are often abandoned in the make-shift camps for long hours, under inadequate supervision. This issue gives strong clues about what kind of action is needed in terms of intervention, impact and response.
