This report investigates how children are represented in digital policies around the world. The focus is on global patterns and trends, as well as instances of good practice in supporting the realisation of children’s rights as part of digital transformation and creating a more inclusive digital society.
This report provides an overview of the approach, findings and recommendations emerging from the detailed examination, published
separately, of national laws and policies, as well as regional policies and those from intergovernmental organisations (IGOs). Note that excerpts from policies in a language other than English have been translated for this report by the researchers.
There are two accompanying reports: Left out and misunderstood: Children in global, regional and national digital policies describes the findings for the different governing bodies and countries in more detail, with an emphasis on their unique features and good practices. Digital policy analysis methodological toolkit provides details on the method, both its theoretical framing and application.
The report is designed to support researchers, policymakers and activists who are interested in evaluating and designing policies or in holding policymakers and stakeholders to account. The study employed a three-phase methodology analysing 300+ policies from 4 IGOs, 5 regional bodies, and 26 countries, with emphasis on under-researched contexts where policies exist in languages other than English (Portuguese, Arabic, Indonesian, Thai, Mandarin, etc.)
The research team consisted of 21 researchers or assistants, with language and regional expertise serving as a novel methodological strength, ensuring cultural and linguistic competence. Notably,as the methodology focuses on official government documents, readers will benefit from looking into regional civil society discussions and grassroots advocacy.
