431- تنضم اللجنة إلى الدولة الطرف في الإعراب عن قلقها لقلة الاكتراث بآراء الطفل، نتيجة أمور منها الأعراف والتقاليد وفي المدارس وفي إطار الأسرة ولا سيما في المجتمعات الريفية.
The Committee expresses its concern at the many children in urban areas who are left unattended at home while their parents are at work or pursue leisure activities and notes that, owing to recent and rapid urbanization, assistance from extended family support networks is not always available. Further, it takes note with concern that single parenthood and teenage pregnancy are also increasing.
