to children's rights and welfare; it amply funded systems of public education
and medical care. The government provided compulsory, free, and universal
education for children ages 9 to 16, but public schooling was provided until
age 18. Nearly 100 percent of school-aged children attended school, and the
highest level achieved by most children was completion of high school. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of

Young people who neither study nor work run a great risk of long-term exclusion
from the labour market During the period 1992-2002, young people who had
studied could relatively easily establish themselves in the labour market.
Their proportion of the core workforce increased rapidly during the years
following their studies, irrespective of the state of the economy. Young
people who worked or were seeking work at the beginning of the period also
had considerably better chances than young people who were not economically
active. During the period there was an
increase in the number of young adults who were not economically active, i.e.
neither worked, studied nor sought work. These young people ran a great risk
of still being outside the labour market after seven years. The establishing
difficulties were associated with the level of economic activity. These young adults also risk ill-health in
the long term. Mental illness, alcohol
and drug abuse appear to be more common in this group than among other groups
of young people. All material used herein
