dc.description.abstract It is an emotive and tragic story, children heading households after the death of their parents, and teenagers taking on adult roles of care and financial support in an effort to cope with the loss of their caregivers. The phenomenon of child-headed households is one of the key social challenges associated with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, this article argues that our understanding of what a child-headed household is, and what other household situations place children at risk, is superficial. en
