Were The Kids In America

UNICEF released a report, Child Poverty in Perspective: An Overview of Child Well-Being in Rich Countries, which specifically addresses childhood in the 21 most-developed nations in the world. The study uses six categories: material well-being, family and peer relationships, health and safety, behavior and risks, and children's own sense of well-being (educational and subjective).

In overall well-being, the U.S. and U.K. respectively place 20th and 21st out of 21 countries.
