Indonesian children play at a park in Jakarta, Indonesia on Tuesday 2005. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) awarded officials for the introduction of a local legislation on free birth registration in the regency. The National Socio-Economic Survey 2001, less than half of Indonesian children under the age of five are officially registered. This places the country 19th on the list of nation's with the lowest rates of birth registration, much lower than the Philippines (84 percent), Thailand (96 percent) and Malaysia (98 percent). Birth registration is a link to other essential rights including access to quality education and to health care, as well as allowing the greater protection of children at risk of being trafficked or at risk of being exploited, including commercial sexual exploitation.
