Paragraph text
For children whose parents are migrant workers, being excluded from education and health systems in the destination country can have lasting consequences on physical and mental health and development. In its 2004 publication "Free trade and children", the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) sheds light on the situation of migrant children, in the context of CAFTA-DR, who are disproportionately at risk of poverty, family disintegration and malnutrition because of declines in the agricultural sector and rural employment.
