Abstract
The article examines the phenomenon of hidden social orphanhood in Pridnestrovian, which remains insufficiently studied in the sociological research of the republic. The author emphasizes the theoretical and methodological foundations, proposing the use of the concept of latent social processes developed by Émile Durkheim for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. The study reveals that hidden social orphanhood affects children in families with inadequate social and emotional support, negatively impacting their integration into society. The research methodology includes a dialectical approach and secondary analysis of statistical data, allowing for an assessment of the scale of the problem. The consequences of hidden social orphanhood are discussed, including anomie, deviant behavior, and a decrease in trust in social institutions.
