I assume we are talking about industrialized nations here. No expert on this field, but I would assume the number one cause would be running away from home. I would also assume this is the number one cause of teenager prostitution also.

Second would probably be parents that could not or would not provide enough support to maintain a home. Which goes back to social interaction deficits that the parents have, for whatever reason (ie Drugs, mental capacity , willingness to work, inability to adapt to changing environment)
