Britain has been ranked bottom out of 21 countries in a United Nations assessment of children's well-being. Scathing report by the UN children's fund.

British youngsters get worst deal, says UN

Extract:

"Britain has been ranked bottom out of 21 countries in a United Nations assessment of children's well-being.

The nation's high number of single parents and step-families has contributed to the ranking.

The scathing report by the UN children's fund, Unicef, says youngsters are better off overall in every other industrialised country, including less wealthy nations such as Poland and the Czech Republic.

It says there is statistical evidence to link growing up in single-parent families and step-families with a greater risk of dropping out of school, leaving home early, poorer health, low skills, and low pay."

"According to today's report, the UK lags in other areas too such as the number of children living in relative poverty, vaccination rates, and the time spent talking, or eating with a parent or parents.
It also has high rates of obesity, drunkenness, bullying, early sexual intercourse, cannabis-taking and teenage pregnancy."

Well the responsibility for the high rates of obesity lies firmly with doctors, politicians, the food industry, drug companies, etc. See my political webpage - If people were told the truth about obesity - namely that it is caused/initiated by fluid retention and not by overeating - this would reduce obesity greatly and improve children's health in many ways and also improve their happiness because they would not be bullied and insulted so much.
