Crossing Continents

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Moldova. Times are hard in Moldova. The country has gone from a relatively prosperous former Soviet republic to the poorest country in Europe. With an average monthly wage of about L20, up to a third of the working population are forced to seekjobs abroad, and, as a result, many have to leave their children behind. Mark Brayne reports on these "economic orphans" , often lodged with ageing grandparents or left in the care of state-run orphanages.
