England has 'unhappiest children'

Unicef, the United Nations childrens' agency, based its report on 40 indicators including poverty, family, relationships and health.
CHILD WELL-BEING TABLE 1. Netherlands, 2. Sweden, 3. Denmark, 4. Finland, 5. Spain, 6. Switzerland, 7. Norway, 8. Italy, 9. Republic of Ireland, 10. Belgium, 11. Germany, 12. Canada, 13. Greece, 14. Poland, 15. Czech Republic, 16. France, 17. Portugal, 18. Austria, 19. Hungary, 20. United States, 21. United Kingdom.

This is what Unicef has to say;
* Child poverty is a problem in the UK. Although the country is wealthy, the money isn’t shared out fairly, so many children can’t afford the things that others take for granted.

* Young people in the UK come bottom of the league table for relationships with friends and families. They’re least likely to find other young people “kind and helpful”.

* More than 1 in 5 young people in the UK say their health is only “fair” or “poor” – more than any other country.

* 36% of young people in the UK say they’ve been bullied in the last two months. Almost 44% have been in a fight in the last year.
