Which I think is based on the international legal criteria? I wonder if
there is not an argument for saying that 'child-hood' ends at different
times in different places - in which case you could consider using the
national age of majority as a criteria (or where is no 'the age of
majority', a key marker such as the ability to marry/form civil
partnership)?
