Birth Registration The International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) states that every child has the right to a name and a nationality, and the right to protection from being deprived of his or her identity. Birth registration is a fundamental means of securing these rights for children. A World Fit for Children has the goal of developing systems to ensure the registration of every child at or shortly after birth, and of fulfilling his or her right to acquire a name and a nationality, in accordance with national laws and relevant international instruments. The <strong>AMICS</strong> indicator related to birth registration is the percentage of children under five years of age whose birth is registered. Table 11.1 shows birth registration of children under five years of age in Afghanistan, and the percentage of children whose mother/caretaker knows to how to register a birth.

The births of 37% of children under five years of age in Afghanistan have been registered (Table 11.1). There are no significant variations in birth registration between boys (38%) and girls (37%), however there are significant variances observed by the age of the child, the mother s education level, residence, region and household socio-economic status. Children aged four years (35%) have the lowest rate of registered births, while children aged one year have the highest registration rate. About 67% of children whose mother has secondary education or higher had their children s births registered, almost double that of mothers with no education, wherein only 36% of births were registered. Children living in rural areas (33%) are about two times less likely to have their births registered than their counterparts in urban areas (60%). Children in the South East region (19%) are more than three times less likely to have their births registered than children in the Central region (60%). There are also regional disparities in the percentage of mothers/caretakers who know how to register a birth. For instance, 12% of mothers/caretakers in the East region know how to register a birth, while it is less than 1% in the South region. For mothers/caretakers with no education, 5% know how to register a birth, compared to 12% of mothers with secondary education or higher. Children living in the poorest households (31%) are significantly less likely to have their births registered than their counterparts living in the wealthiest households (58%). Child Labour Article 32 of the CRC states that States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development. Further, the MDGs call for the protection of children against exploitation. In the <strong>AMICS</strong> questionnaire, a number of questions addressed the issue of child labour, that is, of children 5-14 years of age involved in labour activities. A child is considered to be involved in child labour activities at the time of the survey if during the week preceding the survey: A child aged 5-11 engaged in at least one hour of economic activity or 28 or more hours of domestic work per week. A child aged 12-14 engaged in at least 14 hours of economic activity or 28 hours or more of domestic work per week. This definition is based on the International Labour Organization s definition of child labour. The term child labour is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to children s physical and mental development. It refers to work that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children; and interferes with their schooling by depriving them of the opportunity to attend school; obliging them to leave school prematurely; or requiring them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work. The estimate provided below is a minimum of the prevalence of child labour since some children may be involved in hazardous labour activities for a number of hours that could be less 123
