Minor or adult? A different approach in the Nordic countries vs Europe
Abstract
Around 1 out of 5, or 150 million children under the age of 5 worldwide are unregistered or lack a birth certificate. Unaccompanied minor migrants have many benefits, inaccessible to adults. It is evident that the age of migrants is one of the key variables that must be ascertained. Equally, it is important that juveniles are housed under safe conditions, including not with adults stating to be children.
