Investing in children, youth ‘will help offset effects of ageing society’
Thailand, as the chair of Asean, has made pledges to protect children’s rights as a silver cloud looms over the region on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The CRC is the international agreement on childhood adopted in 1989. All Asean members ratified the CRC by 1995. To date 196 countries have endorsed the treaty.
