universal minimum age

The universal minimum age is a proposed international standard that sets the lowest age at which individuals are allowed to engage in certain activities, such as voting, working, or consuming specific media. It aims to protect young people from premature participation in activities that could harm their development or well-being. By establishing a common minimum age globally, it helps ensure consistent protections across countries, respecting children's rights and promoting equitable development. This concept encourages governments to adopt uniform standards, fostering safer environments for youth worldwide.
