Abstract
This study was designed to assess to what extent children and their caregivers understand the significance of parental deprivation and to what extent they share an awareness of the levels of deprivation children face. Cross sectional survey was carried out to gather data regarding parental love deprivation in children and its likely repercussions on their future lives. Multi stage sampling was employed in which 100 children aged 4 -12 were randomly selected to gauge love and affection they receive from their parents and also researched a random sample of 100 adults of varying age groups (30-65) to correlate love deprivation with different facets of their lives. Study was based on Rawalpindi as urban centre and five remote villages of Namal Valley in Mianwali District. Study revealed interesting results. Parents’ income, education, and rural/urban origin came out as important factors in determining parental love towards their children. The results of study concluded that love deprivation syndrome amongst children in Pakistan is falling with an average of around 2 per cent per annum. Love deprivation is found to be more prevalent in uneducated, low income and rural segment of Pakistani society
