Good question. If one were to include children and adolescents and used
World Health Organization criteria as the basis for an operational
definition the age range would be 0-19 years.
A definition used for child labout is 5-14 years old.
For my purposes I think a broader definition is better because child
soldiers are usually defined as being under 18 years old.
All the best
