IEEE Provides Strategic Expertise as Indonesia Adopts First Age-Appropriate Design Regulation in Asia
IEEE catalyzes landmark binding regulation to protect children online.
Today, one in three people online is under the age of 18, but the original design of most digital technologies did not anticipate the use of those technologies by children. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address the vulnerabilities and evolving capacities associated with children and their experiences online.
IEEE SA’s focus on human-centric design and the need to protect children online has resulted in the development of standards and other activities to support this growing demand. This community is helping organizations design and develop digital services that are age-appropriate and deliver against the cultural and legal privileges they are entitled to in digital environments.

Groundbreaking IEEE 2089 Standard Addresses Age Appropriate Design for Children’s Digital Services
As technology use expands across age groups, interest in age appropriate considerations geared toward young users continues to grow.
The IEEE 2089™-2021, Standard for Age Appropriate Digital Services Framework, informed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and built upon the principles developed by the 5Rights Foundation, establishes a recommended set of processes that help enable organizations to make their products and services age appropriate, including consideration of risk mitigation and management through the life cycle of development, delivery, and distribution.
