In major industrial zones of Binh Duong province, many children of low-income migrant workers live in vulnerable conditions. These families have migrated from rural areas in search of factory jobs, bringing their children along due to lack of support back home. While the parents work long hours in factories, often from early morning until late at night, the children are left behind in cramped, low-cost rental rooms. Many of them do not attend school and spend their days unsupervised. Some children are forced to work, such as selling lottery tickets on the streets, to help support their families. This lack of access to education and safe environments places these children at high risk of neglect, exploitation, and long-term developmental challenges.
