In practice, this means looking at the capacity of young people rather than their chronological age when trying to strike a balance between protection and autonomy.

	==Origin==		===Origin===

	The concept of evolving capacities of the child first emerged in international law through the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It stems from the recognition that childhood is not a single, fixed, universal experience and that their lives require different degrees of protection, provision, prevention, and participation at different stages of their lives.<ref>Bueren, Geraldine Van; Europe, Council of (2007). Child Rights in Europe: Convergence and Divergence in Judicial Protection. Strasbourg: Council of Europe Publishing. p. 37. ISBN 9789287162694.</ref> Evolving capacities recognize that as children acquire enhanced competencies there is less need for protection and a greater possibility that they can take responsibility for decisions affecting their lives. It is presupposed by the gradualist conception of children's rights, which suggests that children move progressively from a situation in which their rights primarily protect their interests to one in which their rights primarily protect their choices.<ref>Phillips, D.C.

==Voluntarism==

Evolving capacities are sometimes interpreted as supporting voluntarist/[[Wikipedia:Voluntaryism|volantaryist]] and gradualist approaches to young peoples' rights, including [[Ethos of Newgon|more liberal consent laws]], as applied to sexual rights.

==Conservative criticism==

The concept of evolving capacities is sometimes described by (mainly American) conspiracy conservatives as a ruse by international organizations to allow "[[pedophilia]]" to become [[MAPocalypse|"normalized"]].<ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/news/un-backed-report-suggests-minors-may-be-able-to-consent-to-sex-critics-accuse-org-of-attempting-to-normalize-pedophilia UN-backed report suggests minors may be able to consent to sex – critics accuse org of attempting to normalize pedophilia]</ref><ref>[https://medium.com/no-rest-for-the-writer/opinion-is-the-u-n-promoting-paedophilia-cbc321b14d96 Opinion — Is the U.N.
