The State of the World’s Children is the title of UNICEF reports that have been published and widely distributed since 1980 about children and young people across the globe. Whilst it is not specified who makes up ‘the world’s children’, the term bears direct reference to what has also been discussed as global childhood. Each report puts special emphasis on one central theme, for instance food and nutrition, the digital world, children with disabilities, child participation or gender equality, and also includes detailed statistical tables on demographics, child health, education, child protection, social protection and economic development.¹ The term State in the title of the report refers to children’s general condition or situation; but the word can also signify a nation or a territory under the same government, such as Ghana, Thailand or Italy. Here we will use the latter meaning of State to discuss the tenacity of national sovereignty for childhood and youth policies.

国家与世界儿童

自1980年以来，联合国儿童基金会已发表并广泛分发了有关世界各地儿童和青年人的报告，标题是《世界儿童状况》。虽然没有具体说明谁构成“世界上的儿童”，但该术语直接涉及也被称为全球童年的儿童。每份报告都特别强调一个中心主题，例如食品和营养，数字世界，残疾儿童，儿童参与或性别平等，并且还包括人口统计，儿童健康，教育，儿童保护，社会保护和儿童保健的详细统计表。经济发展。¹状态一词报告标题是指儿童的一般状况或情况；但该词也可以表示同一政府领导的国家或地区，例如加纳，泰国或意大利。在这里，我们将使用国家的后一种含义来讨论国家主权对儿童和青年政策的坚韧。
