A new report issued by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) regards Britain as the worst place among all developed countries for a child to grow up.
UNICEF says Britain has the unhappiest, poorest, unhealthiest and most neglected children of the world's 21 richest nation, ranking at the bottom of 40 different indicators for child welfare, Sky news reported on Wednesday.
Despite its higher rank for educational well being, Britain still stayed at the bottom third for each of the other measures, earning it the bottom place among the 21 countries.
North European countries such as Sweden, Denmark and Finland ranked highest in child welfare, dominating the top half of the league table.
Why? How can we avoid the same predicament?
