A detailed rating system is prone to fail. I know 7 y/o who are more mature than 16y/o. This is an extreme case. But development differences +/-1 year are very common. So maybe we should stick to “child”, “adolescent”, “adult”.
The rating system isn’t meant to be taken literally though. It’s expected that parents make an informed choice based on the maturity of their child. The ratings are recommendations and as far as I know only actually enforced by stores/sellers and cinemas.
