Abstract

|
Universal Birth Registration (UBR), a concept that states every child must register one’s birth to a formal organization in a country where he/she was born, has been an important agenda in the international society. Also, domestic civil society organizations are setting an institutional foundation that guarantees birth registration of every child with nobody left behind. Since the result of such efforts depends on the policy agenda-setting process, this research studied on cognitions and perspectives of unmarried mothers on implementation of UBR concept through in-depth interviews. Policy framing theory was utilized as theoretical framework, which analyzes how policy shareholders selectively focuses on and define a certain policy problem. The results showed that participants had recognized rising precariousness due to prejudices based on experiences in birth registration process of their children. They were willing to raise their voices by participating in policy agenda-setting process as well. Meanwhile, expectations regarding gain and loss of UBR had differed among participants according to individual situations. This study is meaningful in a sense that unmarried mothers and their children, who were less paid attention when compared to migrant children and their parents, were fully emphasized as new main agents in UBR discussion process.
