LONDON: The happiest children in Europe are in the Netherlands and Scandinavia but Britain is among the worst places to grow up, according to new
British research published Tuesday.
A league table of young people's well-being places the Netherlands top of 29 European states, followed by Sweden and Norway, while Britain comes in at a lowly 24th. The table, focusing on youngsters aged up to 19, was compiled by researchers at York University in northern England for the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) using data mainly from 2006.
The researchers assessed the countries using 43 separate criteria, ranging from infant mortality and obesity to factors such as poverty and housing.
Germany was eighth, France was 15th and Britain was ranked only above Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta. |
