Registration of Births

Birth Registration Initiative

The Committee recommends that States parties take all necessary measures to ensure that all children are registered at birth, inter alia by using mobile registration units, and make birth registration free of charge.

16.17 In the rural areas, registration of births are more difficult.

In England and Wales, birth registration with the state began on 1 July 1837.

Some progress has also been made in birth registration and in expanding centre based child care.

Birth registration rates have jumped in parts of Africa, notably in Angola, Ghana and Senegal.

(b) Raising awareness at the national, regional and local levels, whenever necessary, of the importance of birth registration

The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to improve the birth registration system, including through the development of mobile registration units and increased outreach activities and awareness raising campaigns for families and traditional birth attendants.

The subject of birth registration, which is crucial to the child's enjoyment and exercise of rights in general, was also raised.

The Committee recommends that the State party improve its system of birth registration, so as to cover its territory fully, taking into account regional disparities, and that it adopt measures that facilitate birth registration, particularly aimed at the poorest and most marginalized children.

However, stronger partnerships are needed to build capacity in the civil administration systems on which sustained birth registration depends.

One of the prime reasons why it is important to register births is that it can assist in prosecuting an offender of commercial child sexual exploitation.

Across all regions of Niger, a birth registration initiative led by the Nigerien administration with the logistic help of UNICEF, has enabled a more secure future for the country's youngest citizens.

The Committee also reminds States parties of the importance of facilitating late registration of birth, and of ensuring that children, including those not registered, have equal access to health care, education and other social services.

In ECD, delegations requested information on progress in maternal health, the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, anaemia reduction and the promotion of birth registration.

Birth Rates and Fertility Rates

The New Baby Boomers

Identity, family relations and birth registration

The average number of births per woman declined from a baby boom peak of 3.5 in 1947 to 1.5 in 1973.

The Committee is concerned that access to civil authorities for the purpose of birth registrations is not always guaranteed, in particular for asylum seekers, persons seeking protection who have not received refugee status and those living in rural areas.

The rate of infant mortality was 9,7 in male newborns, and 8,3 for every 1000 female newborns.

While total infant deaths were reported by 143 countries or areas, only 114 reported infant deaths by sex.

The Committee notes the efforts undertaken by the State party regarding the registration of births, but remains concerned about the very low percentage of births that are registered and about the lack of a functional registration system, as well as at the low level of public awareness of the obligation to register children at birth.

The infant mortality rate in 1999 was 46 per 1000 live births, with 41 per 1000 live births girls and 52 per 1000 live births boys the girls mortality dropped to 51 per 1000 live births in 2001.

Each correspond with exactly one other Update Log Record (although the corresponding update log record is not typically stored in the Compensation Log Record).
