Šiame straipsnyje kokybinio tyrimo (ekspertų vertinimas) duomenų analizės pagrindu siekiama išskirti esminius tėvų emigraciją patyrusių vaikų globos bei socialinės gerovės indikatorius ir išryškinti galimus veiksnius, turinčius vienokios ar kitokios įtakos jų efektyvinimui.Emigration processes in Lithuania negatively affect not only the country's social and economic evolution. The condition of education, employment, health care, and other spheres are affected as well, especially having in mind families and children, who live separately, by emigration.

Thus in this research, taking in to account qualitative methods, such issues were analysed: possible factors that may have influence on the effectiveness of those children's care, guardianship, and their social welfare. While analyzing experts' attitudes towards emigration policy regulations as the main factor of children's care, guardianship, and their social welfare, some negative aspects were revealed as well, i. e. social consequences of emigration - in most cases such children are left abandoned and do not form tight emotional relations with the rest of the family; they even might act antisocially, aggressively or rebel. Responsibility of the parents who leave their child to be look after by was others also evaluated as rather low by experts, and education equality was not similar as of those children from nuclear families
