Some Syrian children, particularly boys, are missing out on their educations in order to work and earn extra income for their families. These children are at heightened risk of exploitation and injury. A recent study found that the need to work was the main reason that secondary-school-age Syrians were not attending school. ©ILO

Access to birth registration is a serious concern for new Syrian parents in Jordan. Over 1,400 children born between the end of November 2012 and the end of July 2013 in Zaatari camp have not received birth certificates. However, the Civil Registry in Mafraq has dramatically increased its rate of registration since mid-2013. ©WFP
