When the childhood leaves: the official period of childhood is planned to be extended to 30 years

An unexpected statement was made by the Minister of Health of Russia Veronika Skvortsova.

She stated that the period childhood officially will be considered the age of the person up to 30 years inclusive.

She explained this by global trends to an increase in the period of childhood.

In the 40s of the last century, according to Skvortsova, children were no longer considered as 14 years old. In the 60s of the 20th century, childhood officially ended in 16 years.

Now in Russia it ends at the age of 18, and all over the world at the age of 21. Very soon, according to Veronika Skvortsova, childhood will last up to 28-30 years.

The average life expectancy among Russians is now 73 years.

The statement of the Minister of Health immediately responded to the Council of Federation. Senator Valentina Petrenko noted that, in general, such prospects are not encouraging, because children, to whom people will be 25-30 years old, cannot legally vote and enter into marriages, take loans and make deals.

A prolonged childhood, therefore, can lead to mass infantilism of men and women.

However, you should not worry too much, the senators noted, because the process of extending the childhood period is natural, justified by evolution process.

Life expectancy is increasing, and it is not surprising that the individual stages of this life will also increase in time.

And the legal side of the issue, if necessary, can be adjusted.

Leave right to vote in elections since the age of 18, marry from the same age it is possible and legislative.

Against the backdrop of all this, there were again suggestions on the extension of the retirement ageAfter all, with an increase in the period of childhood, people will need to retire later. And these measures, alas, are inevitable, say the senators.
