Answer to Question 1

Poverty is the greatest factor in the child prostitution explosion, as migration of families from rural areas into cities creates unemployment, the breakdown of family structures, homelessness, and inevitably, an increase in child prostitution.

Answer to Question 2

All children must cope with various degrees of stress, and these experiences can be strengthening if they do not exceed the child's coping abilitythat is, the nature and amount of stress is manageable (Masten & Wright, 2010). Stressful experiences that are mild, predictable, and brief are usually manageable and can actually enhance a child's biological and psychological competence (Thompson, 2014).
