is disclosed under a mechanism of strict data control. The indicators of the Survey are consistently updated and complemented, based on the reviews of the UN’s human rights indicators and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators. 15. However, due to the budget condition of this Survey (only about KRW 70 million out of the total project budget of KRW 130 million is allocated for the survey expense), the direct questionnaire-based survey is conducted only among students. Accordingly, the Survey has some limitations in providing disaggregated data on vulnerable children, including migrant children, children with disabilities, out-of-school children and children in poverty. In addition, although it is necessary to take actions to ensure social dissemination of the survey findings, such as increasing awareness by online and/or offline means, producing publications which are tailored to a variety of customers and holding academic forums, the current size of staff (3 researchers) is too small for those activities. Moreover, in order to generate, in a stable manner, the indicators which are based on the administrative statistical data or the outcomes in other surveys, as well as the indicators which come from the direct questionnaire-based survey, and to secure public reliability for the Survey data, it is important to institutionalize cooperation for statistical purpose among the relevant organizations, but, at present, the Survey is solely dependent on the capabilities of the research personnel. 16. The Government should produce and manage statistical data on children in a stable manner. The Government should establish a legal foundation for the statistics under its control so that statistical cooperation may be institutionalized, including based on the law provision requiring relevant agencies to submit their statistical information, and, accordingly, the stability and reliability of statistical indicators may be enhanced. In addition, it should secure a significant amount of budget and workforce to conduct the surveys on children’s rights situations in order to provide disaggregated data on a range of vulnerable children, while taking active measures to disseminate the statistical data. Issue 7. Climate change and the rights of the child: fine dust – in relation to para. 9 (d) of the List of Issues 17. The NHRCK made a recommendation, in July 2018, which asked the Minister of Environment to include the indoor air quality at all types of day care centers for children in the coverage of the manual to handle a high level of fine dust. In addition, in the same recommendation, the NHRCK also asked the Minister of Health and Welfare to draw up measures to finance the expenses required for the installation, maintenance and management of air purification devices at children’s day care centers, including the enactment of law provisions for the installation, maintenance and management of such devices and the extension of the scope of the recipients of the subsidy for upgraded performance of those devices to include all day care centers for children, so that the indoor air quality at all day care centers may be kept at a safe level. 5
