It is encouraging that the orphan population is dropping albeit slowly. The orphan population is dropping but we do not know how many are caught in trafficking or on the streets or not accounted for.
According to UNICEF:
The estimated number of total orphans increased from 1990-2001 where it peaked at 155.4 million. Since 2001, the estimated number of total orphans has declined consistently but very slowly – at a rate of only 0.7% per year during this period
• 1990: 146 million
• 1995: 151 million
• 2000: 155 million
• 2005: 153 million
• 2010: 146 million
• 2015: 140 million
